TD: That is the VERY best get-out-of-a-ticket story I've heard in a long time. Hysterical!

LOL! Great story. I was doing 80 through Stockton, and got pulled over by a CHP. My excuse..."sorry Officer, it's a rental and my car at home is a piece of crap...I'm just not used to the power of this car". Believe it or not, I didn't get a ticket. :*) -Joe

Ok, Here is my best getting out of ticket story... I was in college and was late going to my job. So I was zipping along. (It was Mike's fault.....he made me late for work!!) Anyway.....I zipped right on through a school zone. At the end of the school zone there is a stop sign. I stopped, there was a car in front of me. I notice the car is not pulling out. So I patiently sit there thinking, guess I will be that much later for work. (I call it Jane time!!! and I am still on Jane time....) Well, I notice this guy look in the rear view mirror, and then down at the seat beside him. I was wondering what he was doing, little did I realize that I was soon to find out. Next thing I know he is putting on a "hat". It was a cop. He gets out of his car and comes back to mine. I say hello. He says.....do you realize you just went through a school zone?? I said, "yes, I see that" He said, "and how fast were you going??" To which I quickly blurted out, "I don't know, I was following you. How fast were you going??" I said it before I had even taken a second to think, well my next thought was.....oh no, I am in for it now!! Much to my amazement, he just looked at me and said..."Well, next time just slow it down a bit!!" He turned, took off his hat, and walked away!!
