Default Re: may I see your license?

OK...I guess it is time to admit the facts...just the facts. One ticket in the XF 93 in a 70. Pulled over two other times. Told to keep it down to a slower pace. I first on was a rabbit start up to a little over the speed limit. I think he just thought it looked like I was speeding. The second one was after being at a track meet for 10 hours, had just got off the turnpike was second at the light with two yo yos' in front and to my side going 20 in a 40 zone. I impatiently waited for a slight opening and was gone. I proudly zig zag very professionally around those two cars. I started slowing down at about 60 mph when I notice some pretty red and blue lights coming up on me really really quick.

Can I see your license registration and proof of insurance. (Sounds familiar) I told the officer that I just left this track meet that I had been at since 7 am when this lady in an SUV slows down and rolls down her window and yells out that she was glad that the officer caught me. I kind of shook my head downward looked at the officer who was grinning at me. He said stay here for a sec and we talked some bs about the track meet and my daughter and the XF. Then he said take it easy out here. He asked me if the lady was my x wife as he was walking back to his patrol car. We laughed and I told no she was in front of me on her way to the house.

Haven't been pulled over in the past year, but had a couple of close calls. I am trying to set a good example for my daughter, but not doing very good. She got the wrong genes when it comes to driving a bit to fast.
