Default So the nice Police Officer said ...

" I pulled you over because you were doing over (50mph) in a 30 zone and I am really not interested in writing a ticket but I have been to two motorcycle fatalities here in the TriCities this week and I am getting very tired of it! I normally pull out photgraphs of dead bikers to show the young people I pull over but I will spare you that. So slow down and live, your son needs you to be there for him. That's all, you can go. "

So are you going to slow down or just hope the next officer is in a generous mood too?.

Lesson learned......you will remember his warning, far longer than you would remembered the anger of being ticketed.

A married couple here in Wichita were doing over 60mph in a 30mph construction zone a month or so back.
Law never had a chance to warn or ticket.
Cops tried to motion them to stop.
Seems they had also robbed or stole something from a store, I'm not sure what.
So the officers pursued in their cars.
Down the road a wayshusband crashed, wife dead at the scene, hubby died at the hospitol!
Makes you wonder...........
Might make you think!

We're all guilty of speeding at one time or another. He made a good point. Hope we all learn from this!
