Back in the 50s and 60s my best friend’s father was an actual rocket scientist. He worked for a defense firm and his job required him to spend a lot of time in Nevada at rocket testing ranges. He used to tell us stories about highways there with no speed limit.
Thankfully I don’t get enough tickets to know!
Although I did just get pulled over in Texas for not having a front plate. Had to argue with the guy that New Mexico (where I garage the truck) doesn’t have front plates.
He was also pissed his automatic plate reader couldn’t read my plate and was convinced I did something to it. No, it’s just yellow with orange numbers (low contrast), which is what New Mexico issues!
(No ticket, eventually, after he googled New Mexico not having a front plate with his phone.)
DPS, go figure.
Know what, good for him for listening to you instead of the “tell it to the judge” answer so many of them give. Prosecutor for 30 years, municipal judge for 23. Ask me how I know…
Lol..I searched and he got a 500 dollar fine and had to pay 140 dollars court costs. I think his 26,000,000 contract can handle that.
It helps to be caught Speeding g a few counties away from where you were the states superstar college player 🤦♂️😂
