Friendly and honest works! Julianne: Looks like you need more practice. You might want to use a mirror at home or picture the officer as your friendly neighborhood law enforcer. I know you can do it! Reilly: Great! Another happy police pullover ending! dawn: Yes, I completely agree. Sometimes it's so tempting to swat those flies though! Jennifer: Good for TG who defies the male stereotype. He must be quite a charmer! May you never receive parting paperwork again! Jillian:

TG ALWAYS gets a pass when he's pulled over (happened just a few months ago when we were headed up to NC to see our granddaughter). I, on the other hand, am always given "parting paperwork." Luckily it's been many years since this has transpired (knock on wood). The visual of you driving up on curbs and being detained for it while your cat catches z's behind the dryer cracks me up.

It depends on how you treat the police. This happened to me once when I was lost in an area I was not familiar with. I got so frustrated that I sped off in search off the nearest major street. Naturally, I was pulled over. I explained and apologized to the officer and he was so nice! He gave me a warning and showed me the way out. You’re right. It depends on how you treat the police.

I turn into a blubbering idiot that has a better chance of achieving Olympic gold than negotiating speed. What about those of us who freeze up completely when faced with a uniformed police officer?

There were a few times just being friendly and honest has gotten me out of a ticket. I remember once I was driving out to the H's apartment (who was then my boyfriend) on a Friday night. This was when I worked nights at the airport (so it was like 2AM), anyway I was pulled over by an officer. I exited the freeway and pulled to the side of the road. The officer informed me he had to speed up to 101mph JUST to catch up to me (oops! LOL). He asked me why I was driving so fast and I calmly replied with, "Look, I hate my job and it's Friday night. I was just trying to get home and start my weekend." He gave me a warning and told me to slow down. And I did! Yeah. Ahh you are so right.
