Cripes! That gives me chills. Seen too many of them in my rear view through out my life. I think they must be comin' outta my trunk! :cool:

now you know they are cracking down on speeders for the next 30 days!!!

We in NC live among several states that don't have "speed limits" persay. They have "speed suggestions." If your traveling through NC my suggestion is no more than 5mph over the limit. A prerequsite for NC State Trooper is, no sense of humor.

Unless you know them or their division commander. :thumbsup:

I now no longer know neither. Up 'til about 16 years ago it seemed they knew me and my MG. Had points from the time I was 16 until I got married at 39. Not bragging. Not whinning. Just a fact. Most I deserved several I didn't. Suppose that's another prerequisite. The NC State Trooper is never wrong. :p

Yeah,They are NEVER wrong!!!

Especially the rookies.

I will have to say ONE Trooper (not a rookie) did let me off a deep hook. Around 1978 I was road testing a Volvo that only broke down on the interstate at high speed. When we met and I was running 90 something in a 55...... But I worked on his MG. Told me not to let him see me out here again like that. I had a mile and a half straight.a.way behind my house....use that. I thanked him kissed his feet and went home at 35 mph shaking like a leaf.

The injustice that still sticks out in my mind was when I was a junior in high school. Another guy in a GTO and I, in a 55 Chevy, were rounding a blind right-hand turn. We met a Trooper almost straddling the center line. We all hit the brakes and jumped over. He to his side of the road and us into the grass. The turn was abrupt enough that neither my buddy nor I was speeding. We pulled into where we were going just down the road. While we were sitting there cleaning out our pants discussing the close call the Trooper pulled into the drive. "Who owns this car?" My buddy said "I do." "No. I want the guy who owns the '55." ( suppose my reputation preceeded me.) I thought, "Well DA if ya know; why you asking?" But I just said "I own it." "Get in the car boy." At that point to my astonishment I was told I was on the wrong side of the road. It took me by such surprise I told him right out in no uncertain terms and probably not the best approach, "It wasn't me it was you." To which the Trooper who was riding with him said. "When he jumped over you jumped over." I replied, "Yeah to keep from getting hit head-on!" Hearing the conversation my buddy had to add his two cents worth. Leaning into the open window ( I suppose NC State Trooper Crusiers didn't have AC in 1968.) He said "Sir, you were on the wrong side of the road." ...."Get in the car boy." To make a long story shorter I got a ticket for driving on the wrong side of the road and my buddy got one for following too close. That got my license suspended for a month by my dad who would never think the Trooper would throw his authority around like that.

Like I said most of my violations were justified but the ones that weren't were usually given to me by rookies.

Oh! And if your a Trooper no hard feelings. :wave:
