Moderators Bravus Posted February 15, 2007 Moderators Posted February 15, 2007 Sitting on the side of the highway waiting to catch speeding drivers, a Police Officer sees a car puttering along at 22 KPH. He says to himself, "this driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!" So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over. Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies - two in the front seats and three in the back - wide eyed and white as ghosts. The driver, obviously confused, says to him, Officer, I don't understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem? "Ma'am, the officer replies, "you weren't speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers." Slower than the speed limit? No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly... Twenty-two kilometres an hour!" the old woman says a bit proudly. The Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that 22 was the highway number, not the speed limit. A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error. "But before I let you go, Ma'am, I have to ask... Is everyone in this car OK? These women seem awfully shaken and they haven't made a peep this whole time," the officer asks. "Oh, they'll be all right in a minute officer. We just got off Highway 189" Quote Truth is important

Ellen Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 It would be funnier to me if I didn't just get a speeding ticket. The officer said we have a special on today, you were going 87 km but I'm reporting 75 and you won't lose any points. I was supposed to thank him for that! Oh well, it just paid for all the other days I was speeding and didn't qualify for the special! Quote
Dr. Shane Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 I use to speed whenever I was in Mexico because I wasn't use to their speed limits. Some roads are only 40 kph : But now I use my cruise control most of the time and set it right at the speed limit. Quote Pastoral Family Counselor...

Beryl Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 That is right, Shane. I now have a car with cruise control, and it is the most used bit of goody on my car! No more creeping above the limit without realising it -- and it is saving me money! Beryl Quote "Grace is God doing for us, in us and through us that which He requires of us but which is impossible for us to do in or for ourselves." But He said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." 2 Cor. 12:9.
bevin Posted February 25, 2007 Posted February 25, 2007 Me too. I love my cruise control - except for the day I put it on 60mph and didn't notice the 45 sign on a rural piece of road going into a town because I was listening to my paramedic class notes on my MP3 player Fortunately the Ambulance license plate, the right emergency-vehicle light, the explanation along with an "I screwed up", and the absence of any other traffic combined to get me a warning not a ticket... If I get more than one moving violation in 2 years, I can no longer work as a paramedic. /Bevin Quote

We just lost a manager to our store because he has a commerical driver's license, and got his 3rd speeding ticket. His commercial drivers license was somewhat special as he was a HASMAT operator, and they have stricter restrictions...His license was suspended for one month, and the powers that be found out and fired him. He wasn't driving a commerical vehicle at the time... And NO, it's NOT Quote Democracy is a device that ensures we shall be governed no better than we deserve. George Bernard Shaw
