a couple???????????????????

Yes, unfortunately! My hubbie tells me I'm the only person he ever knew that had gotten a traffic ticket for going too slow!

I was moving my daughter home from university and we had gone to Stars on Ice in Toronto on the way home (she was in Guelph and we had to go through Toronto on our way home). Anyway, here it is, about 1 am, pitch black, pouring cats and..........cats, and I slowed down to go around a steep curve on the 401! Anyway, this cop decided he hadn't made his quota for the night and decided to stop us! There we were, dead tired, rental van loaded right to the gunnels with Erica's stuff and he thought he had a hot one! He delayed us by about 1/2 hour on purpose, I think he was mad because he was hoping he had a van full of stolen merchandise or whatever (or maybe a DUI) and was disappointed to find he only had an exhausted mother moving her daughter home from university! Anyway, he told me I was going too slow (had slowed to 90 km to go around the sharp curve) and that I should have been going about 110 at the minimum! The speed limit was 100! He was just a jerk! Anyway, David thought it was hilarious when he heard - he didn't offer to pay the ticket though!

Colleen, you were going 110????????????

Nope - had slowed down to 90. We go by kilometers here! That's about 54 mph.

I was pulled over for doing 92 km/hr in a 60 km/hr zone. But I didn't get a ticket, the nice officer let me off with a warning.....Jeff says it's probably because I batted my eyelashes at him

Oh, yeah! I just got it! No, we don't have the Autobahn here in Canada.............well, maybe in Quebec!

I'm afraid that my eyelash batting days are over! There once was a time................. Now, the cop would have to be old, blind and desperate!

A couple of speeding tickets, but not recently.
