9. Mine is an anti-speeding ticket story.

I was taking day time classes at the community college in the next town. A long stretch of the road ran along a park in a residential area, with two schools, & the speed limit was 25. Well I live by a park where the limit is also 25 an NO ONE ever goes 25, not even close, so of course as I drove through, I always went 25. It's only two lanes & by the time the road opened to four lanes I turned off there was quite a line of cars behind me & I knew people were flipping me off.

One day I turned off & about 30 seconds later I got pulled over & of course I wondered what for. Well, my registration had expired. Back then they could impound your car for that, if you got that kind of cop. He asked where I was going & I said the college up ahead & he saw my books on the seat. "Okay, I'll let you slide today, but I can't guarantee if you get pulled over by someone else they will, but I have never seen anyone drive that length of road & stay at 25 like you did. Have a nice day, ma'am."
