Busted MINI? Any SPEEDING TICKETS ?

Really curious how easy these little vehicles are to target with radar. I used to speed right past the filth in my 83 scirocco. Would like that feeling of security again, as I am just about to be sent back to driving school.

Go MINI!

That wasn't very respectful to your local police officers now was it?

Gee. I never thought of it that way. Thanks, Davey!

I was motoring southbound on the I-15 in SoCal on Saturday and spotted a CHP motor patrolman entering the freeway. Checked my speed, 74 in a 70 zone, no sweat. Cars were passing me on the left, doing at least 80.

But what did the CHP officer do? He pulled alongside me and made a "slow-down" gesture, palm toward pavement. So I snipped off the 4mph excess, and he sped off to nick one of the speeders.

Close call, but I'm glad he picked his targets.
