It was a warm summer's day as I was driving down the highway. The stereo was cranked in my new convertible. With the wind blowing through my hair I hadn't a care in the world. My mind was off somewhere else as I enjoyed the peacefulness of being alone. That's when I saw you out of the corner of my eye. I am guessing you, too, were enjoying the peacefulness parked by the side of this quiet backcountry road. I hadn't seen a car all afternoon so I suppose you thought you could sit here and not be disturbed. I had thought I would be alone here as well and do as I please.
We were both wrong. As I saw you, I looked down and groaned. In my spaced out driving I hadn't paid any attention to how fast I was going. Now faced with a cop I realized that 95 was probably pushing my luck. I hoped you were day dreaming as well and wouldn't notice as I flew by. Wrong again!! As I went past you pulled in behind me. You must have seen me coming and were waiting. What should my response be? Should I just own up to it and take the ticket? Should I try to come up with some reasonable excuse? Should I try to charm my way out? All of these thoughts were going through my head as the lights came on and I pulled over to the side of the road.
