I was driving with Mariah and her friend last week helping them get stuff for MORP and guess what....I got pulled over! It was on the Frontage Road between Farmington and Centerville. That road has so many speed traps!!! He said he clocked me doing 46 in a 30...what the heck? He was coming around a corner when I saw him and he wouldn't have had time to clock me...but whatever! I told him I hadn't been pulled over in DECADES! I think he thought I was lying...but after he came back to the car to give my registration and license back...he Said, "Wow you're right Mrs. Carlson you have an impeccable driving record...so I'm not going to tarnish that today...just be aware of the speed limit." I hope my teenager was listening and learns from this experience...it's okay to drive like a grandma...if it gets you out of a ticket.

Karrie- YOU ARE one SMOOOOth talker :)
so glad you didn't get a ticket!
Leave it to you to get out of a ticket! Lucky girl!
This really isn't fair, ya know! I think i'd better never drive without you so your good skill will rub off on me:)
well that is that exact speed trap I got caught in and had to go to court because I was still having a ticket held in Centerville court. It is totally okay to drive like a Grandma and save your money! about 250.00 between all my tickets. I hope someone can learn from me!
Thank for the warning about that road. I'll watch out. Happy to hear you continue with a good driving record.
you are a smooth talker karrie - and if that hadn't have worked i'm sure you would've argued your way out of it, or maybe even beat the crap out of the officer? i wouldn't put it passed you. :)
