I will keep this short, because it can be a long story...
I bought some parts for my DD froma guy in West Va. I figured it would be easier and not such a bad drive to drive out to Morgantown and meet the guy for the parts.
Drove to W Va. Got there early with plenty of time.
Seller shows up, we make the deal(sounds bad).
I start my trip home....
I made such greaet time going out, I was looking forward to getting home early and seeing my son.
Not paying attention to my speed, I come over a hill, around a bend and see Marylands finest sitting on the shoulder.
I knew as soon as I passed him and his lights came on, that I was busted.
I looked down at my speedo and see 91mph...OOOPS!!!
He pulls me over and asks if I knew I was going 91mph. I told him that as soon as I saw him, I looked down, saw 90mph and thought "oh Crap!!"
So he asks for my license and registration. I had him the license, but cant find the registration.....Not good..
He waits a few minutes then goes back to his car.
I continue to look for the registration and I find it.. So I am happy about not getting that ticket.
Officer returns to the car and I show him that I have found the registration. He tells me that he wrote a ticket for the failure to produce registration upon request and a WARNING!! for the 91mph speeding ticket....YEAH!!!!!
Then he asks me, since I have the registration, does he want me to have him redo the tickets and get a warning for the registration ad a ticket for the speed...
I look at him... pause for a few seconds, then throw the registration into the passenger seat...
So, a warning for a $290 & 3pts speeding ticket and a $40 fine for failure to show registration...
I dodged a bullet that time.
Needless to say, the rest of my drive home was slow and uneventful... _________________ 92 Toyota Beat-up, Dented and Begging for more.
