[Healeys] Dealing with the Highway Patrol

[Robert Duquette]

Did you at least get a discount? :)

I knew a guy who went for a beer run at the end of a loosely organized
baseball game.  When he drove over the crest of a hill at 50 in a 30 zone, he
spotted a police car hiding near a building off the road.  He braked fairly
hard, but saw the car start and begin to move.  So, he drove over the next
hill, pulled over, got out of the car, pulled out his license and ownership
and insurance ( practice helps ) and was leaning against the car with the
papers pro-offered when the police car came over the hill.  They had a good
laugh and said it was the easiest stop they'd ever made.  He got a discount
and some advice to not 'brake hard' as they'll not take another reading.
Better to brake lightly, or so they said.
