Don't mess with Texas!!!!
 

My momento from Texas.

Thats right, that is the lesson I learned this weekend less than 5 hours up on arriving.

I consider myself EXTREMELY lucky, considering what it could have been. I'm not admitting to anything on a public forum, so we'll just leave it at that. God Bless Texas!

Not a place I could live, but it is a really great state.

I've always considered myself courteuos.... after visiting for a day I realize that I have no idea what courteous is. Around here I am nicer than everyone else, down there I was on my best of best behavior, yet some how in comparison to the natives I noticed that I was a jerk. They are just to nice, to pleasant. Would take along time to get use to that.

how fast were ya going?

Must have winked at the officer just right -- nice dodge! :lol:

:confused: Why would you ask?

Not fast enough for my taste, but more than the 70 mph posted on the sign. :devil:

Done something right..... I wasnt wearing a seatbelt at teh time either and didn't think to grab it. I later found out that could have been $130+ . :eek: You guys don't mess around. :lol:

I would have been dead if we would have went back to my wife with that fine plus the traffic infraction....

My wife got nicked on that one once......:mad:

You can bet after I found out the cost of that one, then for the rest of the visit everyone in my vehicle had a seatbelt on before I even started the truck AND I drove 5 mph under the posted speed. :lol:

Soon as I hit Oklahoma state line, back up to speed +5 sometimes. :lol:

Hit missouri and didn't even look at my speedo again..... :devil:

I was put in jail for speeding 2 years ago. 118 in a 60:eek:

I guess anything over 90mph here is a automatic 3 days in jail, plus a fine. I had a nice 3 days with Bubba to think about how I was going to pay that ticket off

Here I think it's anything over 20 miles over the posted speed limit. So if your going to do 75 in a 55 you might as well do 100. But if your only doing like 25-30 over as long as your respectful and the cop isnt in a bad mood, most will just write you one for 18 over. Which is about a $500 fine.

I thought you weren't gonna admit to anything???


Maybe the same reason you had to come tell us about it? :confused:



:devil:

Well the first was a given, obviosly was doing more than the posted limit or this discusion wouldn't be taken place. That's not admission, thats stating the obvious. :devil:

The second was an after thought, and the third wasn't an admission of guilt to anything. Maybe I was going under the speed limit after I got back to Missouri..... we don't know because I wasn't worried anymore so failed to look. :lol:

I hate driving through Texas, but I've never had any run-ins with the po-po out there either.

I usually run with the flow of traffic on I-20, usually around 80-85 mph.

Yes it is!!! :rocker:

He lies!!!!!!!!

Yes Sir, you are lucky them State Troops don't play. Guess the Troop had wrote his for the day or you were not going terribly fast.
