Default Well, I got off the speeding ticket

I was able to work it out with the prosecutor in Ohio for the ticket I got on the way back home from Carlisle.

I had to pay the ticket, but they reduced it to a parking violation. Won't go on my record....

So did you offer to take her for a ride in the XF as part of the deal?

How much over the speed limit were you doing?

Well, about 6 of us were caravaning back home. We were all speeding between 90 and 100. I was the one caught. The trooper was not sure who was the offender, but he remembered my plate. So he gave me a break of going 85 on a 65.

How did you get out of THAT? (Pretty good odds, 1 out of 6!)

Yes, I'm well aware I am very fortunate.

I called their prosecutor and told her It was too far for me to go back and fight in court. I asked for a form of supervision, and pay the fine. She told me they didn't have such a program, but that if I had a good driving record in my state she would either drop the charge or negotiate it down. I send her my record which BTW is clean in Illinois. She changed it to a parking ticket.

Very lucky, I know.

FP's Crossfire was the only BLACK car in the group?

I'm surprised he didn't get two tickets!

I wasn't the only one with custom plates. I know what you mean though, but I'll keep my plates...
