Today 38 Years ago...

I got my first traffic ticket.... Speeding of course, 40 in a 25... :D

Had a old SLOW '57 Ford. Had just left scool for my afternoon job, was runnin a little late but decided to hit the 7/11 to get some lunch goodies. As I headed to the store, I stomped on it and held 1st till 40mph. Thats just about the time I spied the cop, and also the time his radar got me... And as they say the rest is history...

Yep for sure.. had been around for several years, at least here in the states...

The ticket had a big RADAR written across it...

Had just left scool for my afternoon job,

The irony in that line is beyond beautiful. :giggle:

Good story, man. On a related note, I just got my 'added late charges' ticket in the mail today. Next time you swap your plate and insurance, but think you can make it to the end of march, when the registration is due, to switch the reg, think of me, and just do it.

The thing is, I was less than two weeks away. Goodbye $276.
