Last night I had orchestra rehersal so Chris headed down to his friend Dave's house to do some wood working projects (Dave helped build my kitchen cabinets). Dave's house is about 45 minutes SE of our house and there is no direct way to go so you end up taking lots of county roads.
Well Chris took a different way home last night to see if it was shorter. Most of the county roads are flat and straight with few intersections so you can build up some speed. So he was going about 65mph down a 55mph stretch.
Next thing he knows is there is a set of headlights coming up behind him very fast.
Yup - it was a cop.
The cop pulled Chris over and told him he had been clocked doing 65mph in a 55mph. Then he asked him if he had anything to drink. Well Chris had a couple beers at Dave's while working with his last one maybe 1 1/2 hours ago and he told the cop that.
Yup - that lead to the cop having Chris do stupid human tricks. And because he wasn't reacting the way the cop expected him to, Chris ended up taking a breathalizer. Chris blew a .07 so no DUI - but the cop wouldn't let him drive himself home.
I get a call about 10pm to get dressed and come pick him up. So the neighbor and I went to pick him up about 20 minutes from here (down at Cop's nursery).
And did he get a ticket for speeding?
NO!!! he gets a warning. So now he has been pulled over 3 times in the last 2 or so years and all 3 have been warnings!
Butt head!
