After 25 years or so of driving I garnered my first speeding ticket. It took my 04
MCS to win me that prize. I really wasn’t go
that fast…. Except that the speed limit had recently been lowered by 25 mph.
There was a car in front of me, and one coming up quick behind me, but alas, I was the one who was nabbed. I think the Officer just wanted to see my car. He asked me a lot of questions about it, what dealer I got it from (hello, it says that on my rear license plate frame), do I like the car, how long have I had it, does it drive well, is it fun?
I tell you, I would have dropped dead on the spot from laughter if he had asked me if it had “zip” or some other phrase to indicate if it was fast! His parting words were “try to take it a little slower if you can.” I bit my lip. Really, I CAN’T!
It hasn’t set in yet. I think I am still in a bit of shock. I do drive fast, I admit that freely. I also drive safe. Still, I’ve driven a Corvette for 18 years. I’d have thought THAT car would get me my first speeding ticket!
I must go out shopping now. It’s the best cure for shock don’t you know.
