Re: Well Sh:t... I got a ticket.
I got one last month - second one in my life. I was 10 minutes from home, just starting a road trip and was not paying attention - wondering if I packed eveything. New 4 lane road and despite the fact that the road was completed, the limit was still lowered. Cop tagged me as he was driving the other direction and turned around. Walked up to the car and said "hey I know this car". We have a police program at the College where I work. Many of the local fuzz guys are grads or they come back on campus to teach.
It could have cost me $300 and demerit points but he gave me a break - $50, no points.
I behaved for the rest of the trip.
