58 in a 55?????
So, had to go to work around midnight last night to do some end of the year reviews for one of my employee's
Took the T/A and went on rt 80.
I was cruising between 70-75 mph.
I saw way ahead of me a state trooper pulled out of his hiding place. Now, I knew he hadn't tagged me with radar because I had several cars in front and to the right of me.
So, as soon as I saw him I carefully switched lanes and slowed down a bit.
Now I'm cruising doing just under 60 in a 55.
Of course..... he gets behind me and follows VERY close for 3 to 4 miles. I'm like WTF?!??!?!?! Either keep on cruising or pull me over?!?!?! So, I was driving VERY carefully and pretty damn close to the speed limit.
So, lights come on.... he pulls me over.....and sits there for about 2 minutes with his side light blinding me. Again, I'm like WTF??? You pulled me over.... now come on and tell me what I did?!?!?!
So, trooper comes up to the passenger window and it goes like this:
Trooper - I need your paperwork
Me - yes sir
Trooper - Do you know why I pulled you over?
Me - no sir
Trooper - 58 in a 55... and you were wandering a bit in your lane
Me - Well, I saw a state trooper pull out of the side of the highway and eventually follow me really close for almost 4 miles and I was getting nervous.
Trooper - I wasn't sure if you were drunk - what are you doing tonight
me - going to work for end of the year reviews
I hand my license and pba card to him
Trooper - looks like you aren't drunk so you can go - have a nice night
Sigh....... ya know..... I don't mind them doing their job..... but 58 in a 55????? If he didn't tail me for almost 4 miles I wouldn't have "wandered" slightly?!?!?!?!
Lame....but no ticket
