[QUOTE="Danny Tanner, post: 1885140, member: 10619"] I've shared this story before, but it fits in perfectly here. Several years ago I was driving west on 23rd St through Spencer and traffic was somewhat thick. I was needing to get over in order to turn north. I was in the left lane. I usually plan my routes better than that, but there just wasn't enough room to squeeze in anywhere. About 100-150 yards away from the intersection I found an opening. I sped up and squeezed my 88 Honda CRX into this space between a Ford Expedition and a black Chevy Malibu. Instantly, the Malibu lights up like a Christmas tree, it was an unmarked car. He does the usual routine and tells me, "You know, I don't mind if you speed a little bit. Just don't blow my doors off and cut me off only to tailgate the guy in front of me." He said this in a serious, yet laid back tone. He didn't even check my license and didn't even leave my window, he handed my stuff back and said "slow it down" and let me go. Maybe 1 week later I was driving south on Sooner Rd between 23rd and 10th St, where I've driven hundreds of times and have never once seen a cop. I forget the speed limit, but I'm doing any where between 10-15 MPH over. I pass a black Malibu driving the opposite direction and suddenly in my mirror I see brake lights and a u-turn. There go the lights again, it's another unmarked Malibu. The officer comes up to my window and says, "You just don't learn, do you?". He tapped the roof of my car in a "get out of here/last warning" fashion, walked back to his car and let me go. It was the same guy as the week before. Seemed like a pretty cool guy who was more concerned about public safety than he was punishing me or filling a quota. Out of respect for him, I slowed down from then on (in his area). [/QUOTE]
