OMG, I kid you not. Rousted by the cops SIX times in three days!
I forgot that Kansas is a "primary state" - i.e., a cop/sheriff/trooper can pull you over if he sees you are not wearing a seat belt (Nebraska is NOT a primary state -- they can only ticket you for no seat belt if they first pull you over for something else). Hadn't been in Kansas an HOUR before I was pulled over.
Promised to wear my seatbelt. Warning ticket. OK, thank you, officer.
An hour later -- with seat belt on -- pulled over AGAIN. Hadn't seen a speed limit sign since leaving the Interstate, so I was moving along at a sedate 60 mph. Speed limit was 55!!!!
That night, finished my last shop about 9 PM, in a tiny town with one open gas station. I'm too tired to drive further, it's dark, and deer roam these rural areas. I asked the gas station (no hotel/motel or rooms to let) if I could park and rest, and they said sure, go ahead.
Three times the cops came by....to check if I was OK.
Finally in Colorado, breathed a sigh of relief. Headed back toward civilization! It's 10 PM, dark, on a twisty two lane backroad. Some jerk comes up behind me. Right on my tail, of course. I had been going 45 mph, I pulled as far to the right as was safe, and slowed even further. Finally slowed down to about 20 mph, searching for a safe place to pull over and let this idiot of a jerk pass me -- his headlights are blinding, why doesn't he pass??? Doggone it!
Then he puts on his lights and sirens.
I was driving "too slow".
I really, REALLY want to stay home!
Do you have a road trip story?
