Sometimes, I really hate cops. ESPECIALLY bike cops. You know when you get pulled over by a bike cop there is no chance of getting out of anything. A ticket is inevitable. With that being said, let me begin my story...
I was driving down 36th street in Ogden... There were some cones up and the turning lane was closed. I continued on my way, not thinking much of it... when suddenly in my rearview mirror there appeared those flashing lights that make your heart drop.
And it was a BIKE COP. Ugh.
So, he pulls me over and I roll down my window.. genuinely surprised that I was being pulled over. He asked me the usual dumb question.. "Do you know how fast you were going?" Duh. Of course I know how fast I was going, but I am not going to admit guilt to you, sir.
At this point my heart is racing and I'm trying to decide whether I should conjure up some tears or not... I decided not to (THAT ladies and gentlemen, was probably a mistake... although this guy was heartless anyway).
"I'm not sure officer."
"36 mph!"
"Wait... isn't that ONE mile over the speed limit?"
"You were in a construction zone. It has been reduced to 25 mph there. That means the fine will double."
REALLY?? There were approximately three cones up. And no workers.
Traffic school. That's how I really wanted to spend my break in Utah. Thanks a lot Ogden PD.
THE END.
