been told tell of when my 2 siblings and I were in the back seat of the car because cops won't stop with kids hauling moonshine with our sperm bank father

Sorry you were used as a cop decoy back in the day, but does make for one of those funny stories now. Afraid I did giggle and thought about the time we were pulled over on vacation (in the middle of nowhere Texas, lonely highway without even a bush on the side of the road). I am afraid I crossed my legs tightly and prepared. The officer ask DH why he was driving so fast. And I quickly answer, " I have to pee really bad, and there isn't even a bush to hide behind." the officer gave DH a warning and as he started to walk away, I again piped up. "Excuse me where is the closest restroom?". He gave us directions to a small town up the road and we were on our way. I Felt bad with a child in the car, so we stopped at the restroom and had a great time for about 1/2 an hour playing some silly game with the locals where you try to win quarters.

Thank you, I've gotten out of a few tickets in my time, but those are stories for another time.

okay, since this thread is slow today, I'll tell one more.
A few years ago I was traveling to Virginia, alone. I was on the road late at night and there was very little traffic. Now, New Orleans is flat as a pancake and as I got farther north, things begin to get more hilly. So I decided when I got to the top of a hill, I would just take my foot off the gas and just coast down the hill. Well by the foot of the hill I would be going pretty fast and of course got pulled over. Now remember it's like 2am, and he askes why I am driving so fast. I told him I was really sorry but being from New Orleans, and not used to hills, the car seemed to get away from me going down them. He asked why I wasn't using my cruise control. To which I answered that I had only had the car a few months and didn't know how to use it, was 57 years old and had never used cruise control in my life. This poor man leaned in my car and showed me how to use cruise control, before giving me a warning and sending me on my way.

Hmp I just get tickets. They get out of the car writing and don't stop until they say, "sign here. Have a nice day!" Well, since you just ruined it, sure.

Don't get the wrong impression. I like Police Officers, just not tickets. I told crazy lady I decided to be a Police Officer when I grew up and she informed me that no I had not. So, it's back to Park Ranger! As soon as I get the kids out of college...

I need to look up Chicken Ranch. Might be a good career. I heard there was a successful one in LaGrange at one time. Even a movie and a song about it. Haw, haw, haw...

I always try my best to never get pulled over. I know the officers around here so it feels like your father reprimanding you.

Great story!

I California if you are pulled over by the Highway patrol you will almost always get a ticket. A County Sheriff will often give you a warning. CHP has quotas for tickets to meet.

I bet they love the stories they here...when they were not going to give a ticket anyway...

I've only ever gotten 1 ticket, about a month ago actualy. Driving home from another town where I always drive by habit. It's coming out of town and up onto a mountain road. There are never any police there and I guess they switched it up. He was sitting, hiding on a little dirt side road where the speed limit is 35, just before it goes to 45 and eventualy becomes 55. I was going 56. I'm glad he didn't give me any points but the $170 fine realy stunk. I just wanted to get home lol
