I agree with HK, what a handsome man you are. <BR/><BR/>I have been ticketed many times. I hate that. One officer had no compassion for me as my kids were crying and screaming (which always unnerved me) in the back seat and I was driving fast to just get home and out of the car from hell. "My speedometer is broken", I explained. I got a ticket for going too fast, and one for operating faulty equipment.

Excellent work. <BR/><BR/>I was recently driving up form England with a carload of stuff - so much stuff that I could not see out my rear-view mirror. At one point while overtaking a truck, I was in the outside lane for maybe 30 seconds. I happened to glance in my side mirror to see the full blue light regalia together with a dot matrix sign saying PULL OVER (written in reverse so I could see it, of course). <BR/><BR/>Of course I promptly shat myself and swung over towards the hard shoulder...only to see the police zoom past me. They were after someone else, and they caught him a could of miles further up the M6.<BR/><BR/>You always get that feeling, though, even when you know you've done nothing wrong - it's a weird kind of automatic guilt.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15322620.post-1159872523087054952006-10-03T11:48:00.000+01:002006-10-03T11:48:00.000+01:00That was awesome KIM!
