I have a lead foot.
Despite that, in the last six years, I have not gotten a single speeding ticket. (For those of you who are math whizzes, I did not get my license until I was 23...fun fact alert!)
Up until last weekend, I have been pulled over approximately three times for speeding. I always got off with a verbal warning.
I attributed this to my sexiness of course. Cute girls NEVER get tickets!
Well, last weekend when I was on my way to New Hampshire to see the Muppets with my bestie and her two girls, I got caught going 90 in a 55.
So that lead foot? Is more like an anvil on the gas peddle. Woops.
I knew I was caught as soon as I saw him.
Next thing I know, he is pulling out with his lights on. I briefly considered going on the lam and quickly taking the next exit (I have done this in the pass with smashing success but I don't think the universe would smile on me pulling that shit a second time).
So I pulled over, had my license and registration ready when he came over. He bent down and looked in my car as I gave him my most winningest smile and said, "hello, officer."
He took my license and registration and went back to his cruiser. Damn. That didn't go as I had expected. Not even a "do you know how fast you were going?" or "do you know what the speed limit is?" These questions typically lead to my magic bag of excuses.
After a very LONG wait in which I knew he was writing my ticket, he finally came back and handed me my ticket...which was written that I was going 70.
"That's the best I could do," he says, "slow down."
As happy I was to get my ticket reduced, I was still saddened.
Am I not cute anymore?
Is this what my looks have been reduced to? Not even getting a second look from a state trooper? I'm just a quota filler now!
Oh the horror.
I guess now I will actually have to slow down instead of relying on my good looks and charm.
Oh man- that's still awesome he brought your speed down. Clearly I just get pulled over by ass holes. One even accused me of substance abuse bc it was my first time being pulled over and I was shaky.
ReplyDeleteThe moment when you know you're caught and the stomach drops? Worst feeling ever...
Oh no! That's lame. I got my first and only ticket when I was like 19 driving back to college after a long weekend looking ROUGH. I had no chance getting out of anything except maybe a modeling contract.
ReplyDeleteFuture plan: Pour water on my lap and pretend like I peed myself. Sympathy card.
I am probably going to end my string of luck with this next statement, but I'm willing to take the risk. I've never been pulled over for speeding. I did get a red light ticket, but DE does PBJ (basically a probation period) and as long as you don't get any other violations in the time perdiod they set, it's like it never happened. Except they still collect money from you.
ReplyDeleteSorry about your ticket. :( He was probably having a craptacular day and it had nothing to do with you!
I have had quite a few moving violations. I must be hideous.
ReplyDeleteOh no! You're totally cute. You're the hot, dangerous woman who doesn't give a shit about the law. YOU ARE DANGEROUS! Cops only ticket you because they're trying to tame you, trying to get you to slow down. But they can't! NO ONE CAN TAME YOU!
ReplyDeleteI'm totally adorbs and I've never gotten out of a speeding ticket due to good looks. Ugh.
