My First Time

At the entrance to my neighborhood is sign that displays the speed you are going. It is not always on, but when it is I like to race and see how fast I can go past it. It was about 9:00 and I was on my way home from dinner and notice that it was on. There weren’t any cars in front of me and the sign was on so naturally I started to excel trying to beet my best speed. Right as I passed the sign I notice the cop on the other side of the street pulling out. I pulled over and he pulled right up behind me and turned on his lights. He asked if I knew I was speeding and I said yes. He then asked if I new there was a radar sign displaying my speed and I said yes when in truth I wanted to say yes, I was racing it…..how high does it go? I handed him my license and registration and waited while he went back to his car. I then had the joy of waiting in my car for about 5 minutes while all my neighbors drove by slow enough to get a good look at who was pulled over. The kind officer gave me a ticket for only 9 over and in 5 to 7 days I can call to see how much it is for. The good news is I broke my record speed, but the bad news is I can no longer say I have never had a speeding ticket.

You got a ticket. . . I'm so proud. Completely shocked that this was your first time, but proud none-the-less. Welcome to the club!
