Got a surprise near home today.
Between me and town (9 miles away) the limit drops from 70 to 55.
Way before I got to the slower zone I dropped down to 56 (GPS) and was feeling very comfortable when the DPS appeared from the other direction.
My comfort soon fled when he lit up.
Did he just want to see a Victory Vision close up?
Is this trooper on an emergency call and it just happened to come in next to me?
Nope, he was stopping me.
I let him do the talking and he mentioned the change in speed limit and suggested I had missed it.
He was nice, I was nice; but I insisted that I was more than aware of the 55 zone and was going 56.
He asked if I had calibrated my GPS. Frankly I've never heard of such a thing. I told him I trusted it.
We chatted awhile; I suppose to figure out whether I was impaired or not.
Finally he volunteered that it might have been the car behind me that his radar caught and he gave me a warning ticket.
Had a nice ride anyway, lots of pretty flowers out there.
