Re: Texas State Trooper V MB
I had cops ask about the MB, but I can't say I've ever been pulled over while riding.
I do have a strategy for decreasing the likelihood of getting a ticket:
One time, in Cleveland, it was pouring big, heavy sheets of rain. Thunder and lightning, etc. I was driving home in my firebird, and I think I might have been in a bit of a hurry, but I couldn't say exactly what speed. The 'bird had excellent tires and was gripping fine, so I was thinking more about getting indoors.
Then the red and blues came on, flashing and whirling behind me. I put on my signal to pull over, but I saw an overpass up ahead, so I went a little further and pulled under there leaving plenty of room for the cop behind me.
He asked for license, registration, and so on. Then he asked why I kept going and stopped under there. I told him that he couldn't have looked forward to pulling someone over on a day like this, so I thought he might appreciate it if he didn't have to stand out in the rain. He did the usual warrant check, came back, and said that he hoped he encountered a few more drivers as considerate as I was. And he let me go.
