Re: Advice: Ive just been stopped by the police.
LOL nah, I'm the one who always notices and puts the gas in the car.
At the risk of jinxing myself - I have actually never had a traffic ticket even. Stopped a few times - but not very many. And no tickets.
Better than most men (I think it's just their insecurity that leads them to bash women drivers actually...)

Most school bus drivers around this way are women. Probably why the bus stopped on the "wrong" side of the road and flashed its yellow light way to late, she was doing her make up in the mirror and nearly missed the stop.

I can drive them both quite well thank you very much. I let big Brit man drive my GT more than 5 miles from home and he gets a ticket. And I like black (my last 4 vehicles were black) because it goes with my boots and whip. I'd have you crying for your mama 10 min. after I had a hold of you.

I discovered an interesting fact the other day from a PSU professor who teaches on traffic management. The courts in Oregon will not accept a speeding ticket violation in court if it is for less than 10 miles over the speed limit.

A woman driver who at least knows the bloody rules of the road and follows them, and drives safely in adverse weather, not some mentally challenged male who is speeding on a wet road and sees yellow flashing lights and doesnt slow down and stop.......

Re: Advice: Ive just been stopped by the police.
I wouldn't doubt it. It's pretty much an unspoken law that you can get away with going up to 8-10 over, and you won't get pulled over. But that all depends if the officer is having a good day. I'd say 95% of the time, they're going after the true speeders.

There's a cultural bias in the questions. I hope you allow for this!

Actually, I notched it back to 60 straight up to conserve fuel.
It's those idjits that come down the David Douglas doing 90+ that deserve the cops' attention, certainly not a tame commuter like me. And those out of state people. Tourons.
