Stink! My "cop insurance" must have run out. I got pulled over for speeding in a contruction zone! Grrrr.

I made a left-hand turn onto a road that has been undergoing contruction for many months. Since it is an uphill drive, it's only natural to step in the gas to get up the hill. (Wouldn't ya think?) Unfortunately, I accelarated too much. Grrrr.

Thankfully, in Arizona, I can take a defensive driving class which keeps me from having to pay the fine and from getting the ticket put on my driving record. Whew! I'll be taking the class soon. i can't wait. Grrrr.

* "cop insurance" = TPOA (Tucson Police Officers Association) decal on the bumper of my car. My boss makes a contribution to TPOA and we all get a decal. My boss' theory is that the cops will go easier on us if we ever get pulled over...I have no idea if that is true. ;-)

I don't think it is. I think the cops have gotten wise to people who use that as insurance.

One of my friends used to be an EMT, and has his EMT badge on the dash for the same reason. The cops gave him a ticket anyway.
