Speeding? I was NOT !

So last week when I headed to college town , I had a small mishap coming home.  I was driving down this beautiful country road , minding my own business , and abiding by the speed limit , when out of no where a police officer in a tacky neon green vest jumped into the middle of the road and waved me over to the shoulder.

I looked down at my speedometer confused. I was doing 80km which was the posted speed limit.  So I rolled down my window and he shows me his speed gun thingy and I looked at it.....yes 80 dead nuts on! He says " I clocked you at 80 ".  Ad I said "yes it's the limit I was doing " and he says "nope you were doing 80 in a 60 zone " crap ! I told him I had no clue where I was ( true story had just called hubby on my hands free - yes people hands free - to make sure I was on the right road ) . He asked if I have had a ticket in the last three years and I said " not not in the last 19 years ".  Wahhhhh there goes my almost perfect record.  

So I sat like a donkey on the side of the road waiting for the hammer to come down.  I watched the other cars being pulled over and secretly took a bit of pleasure in their misery.  Misery loves company ........right? 

So the officer came back to my window, went through the ticket and explained that since I am such a fabulous, pretty, amazing law abiding citizen he would give me a lesser amount and no points! What a nice man ! I thanked him and told him I am planning on coming to school up this route soon, and if I see him here again I will wave at him while doing 60 km/ hr! Haha! 

So just so you know, my near perfect record for the last 19 years has been broken , and that deserved a celebration, so I came home to vodka coolers and Mexican dinner ! YUM ! Chin! Chin!
