Once whilst driving cross country I was stopped for speeding in Mississippi. I don't know if it was Adams County, however. I do know the officer was not easy on the eyes like the lad pictured here.
I nonetheless talked my way out of the ticket by convincing the officer I had been momentarily confused in calculating the miles-to-kilometers conversion. Sometimes dialing up the British accent helps.
Used to live in states, got stopped in Vermont. When the officer said you know your doing 82 in 55? it was something like that. I just replied oh I thought that was the road I was on I-55. In Europe we have autobarns (not in England though!) and it is free to travel any speed. There are no cars officer and the road is so lovely to drive on...I went on like that.
ReplyDeleteHe was aware of these autobarns - but unaware they are not in the UK!. Duh! Wrote me a warning and put a lower speeding limit. I got off! Sorry this must be salt in the wound and all that. But I was well chuffed! .... This was a time when the UK driving lic was a piece of paper folded..I think that confused the officer a little (and rightly so, only a bloody Civil Servant can read those daft things) - ops sorry doing a rant on your blog...my bad! xx
What a novel way to talk yourself out of a speeding ticket! That's funny.
ReplyDeleteOne time in my twenties, my partner / boyfriend at time and a friend of ours were driving through a small sliver of a town in Ohio when the absolute hottest young cop stopped us just out of town.
ReplyDeleteI don't even think we were speeding, but he came up and checked our registration and more or less just chatted with us . . . where we were heading, and so forth. We were on our way to go camping on one of the Lake Erie islands.
We were all just stunned by his presence . . . cute eyes, handsome mug, hot as hell body. He wore that uniform oh so well.
Afterward we talked about if he had been doing a little fishing as it was a small town, but there was no way I would have made any moves as he sat there beside the road with his cruiser. But damn I thought of the fantasies for week afterward.
Thanks for reminding me of a cute memory.
It's the authority and the semblance of complete control. That makes cops and police sexy. Even some less atractive men are made sexier by that uniform, but a hot man whose a cop ! aye yai yai
