Getting Pulled Over for Speeding

Only been pulled over for speeding once…

47 in a 30

I was on a road where the speed limit is typically 45-55 mph, but I had never been this far down the road, and I didn’t notice the 30 mph sign (rainy night). Didn’t even get a written warning though, record is squeaky clean, and cop believed my story. Which was true.

A week before I started law school I was trying to buy books and get enrolled properly, but my undergraduate college hadn’t released me yet, which messed up my scholarship and enrollment.

I was driving around town in my 1966 Mustang, in August in Oklahoma in 100 degree heat with 100% humidity. Needless to say, I was sweating buckets.

Driving down a road on the way to the law school, I drove right past a cop sitting under a tree. I was going 35, about 20 yards before a 25 mph zone went to 40. He chirped his siren right as I went by and I jumped through the roof.

I pulled over, he took one look at me, saw the sweat, asked me if I was crying, and gave me a warning.

Wait, go back to the sweat part.

Then, 2 months later . . .

46 in a 35

I think the general rule is that if you are within 10 mph, you are okay. Add 20 mph if you are a female, esp. a sweaty female.

Yeah that’s pretty much what this showed.

I think depending upon the state <15 is OK on the interstates.

Hey, I was the only sweaty female, I skewed the statistics!
