Ticket!

Guys pay attention when you're driving!  On my way to school yesterday, heading west on Inkster  just past Warren, i was going 42mph and the speed limit is 40 mph, or so i thought.  The road was under construction and they had the right lanes closed going in both directions.  I was driving along, listening to 50 cent, drinking my Gatorade, when i looked in my rearview mirror and i noticed that the close car was about 1/4 mile behind me.  I thought to myself "Huh, that's odd".  As soon as i put my eyes back on the road, i noticed that i was passing a Wayne County Sheriff parked on the side of the road gunning people.  As a natural reaction when you see a cop, i hit the brakes just in case i was excessively speeding.  Well he turned his lights on, and i pulled over.  Turns out the speed limit was 30 mph and i was going 12 over!  He only gave me a ticket for going 5 over because of my clean driving record.  Well this completely f***** up my day because right before i left my house, i  did some hardcore studying for my anthropology test that i had to take about 20 minutes after i got pulled over.  When i finally got to school and had the test and my scrantron in front of me, i had forgotten everything that i had studied.  I couldn't get my mind off of what had happened and I'm pretty sure that i failed that test.  Ahhh what a way to start off the week, all that and then a pop quiz in our class, lets hope today(Tuesday) is a little bit better!

  1. I know what your saying, on Mich. Ave, a cop sits when the speed limit drastically drops from 40mph to 35mph, then in like 200ft it drops to 30mph. I see more tickets issued on Michigan Ave. than anywhere else.
