So, most everyone that knows me knows I have a bit of a heavy foot. In fact, one previous blog was dedicated to this topic. I think there is a trend forming. Hmmmmmm.
For the past 4 hours I have been angry and officer Wright, the Pasco police department and their sneaky little speed trap, and ultimately myself. I usually have to work through these things before I reach the appropriate place to lay the blame. Grrrrrrrrr
I was just going to the post office downtown to pick up mail Friday for the possible check one of my customers may have sent. I had seen the speed trap right there earlier in the week and thought phewww glad I was paying attention there. Arghhhhhhh Not so much today apparently.
Today there were two cars, Pasco's finest, one decided to pull that granny in the silver Acura over and see what whe was up to. I know the drill. I had my license, proof of insurance, and registration ready and waiting. After the pleasant greeting the officer who was about to ruin my day asked why I was driving so fast. Several things popped into my brain at this moment. First the delightful story I read on face book that ended with the line " I bet the lying bastard told you I was speeding too !", Followed directly by the remark " well, I wasn't speeding officer, I was qualifying. Common sense took hold before I answered, thank God!! Well, sir I honestly did not realize I was going too fast.
After the wait of shame, while cars passed by the car pulled over by the flashing lights, the officer handed me back all my papers along with his own he was giving me, he informed me he had given me a HUGE break by only writing me at 5 miles over. That interprets monitarily to $113.00
Well, geez, thanks so much! I will drive safely thank you and you have a nice day too.
Ohhhhhhhhhh that sucks.
So, thank you once again Pasco PD for reminding me the importance of paying close attention to the local speed limits.
Head slap inserted here.
