I made a left turn where I was not supposed to and thought I could get away with it... WRONG. lights, lights, lights... shucks.

Cop: (Stern face) What do you think about what you did over there on the boulevard?

Driver: (Honest) I think that I did wrong.

Cop: Yes you did, license, registration and proof of insurance, please. (Cop begins to remove his driving gloves)

Driver: Yes Sir. (frantically looking for the list of items)

Cop: (Taking his aviator sunglasses off now) How do you like this car? this is a very nice car. Have you tried the a.w.d.? ( as he walks around my vehicle)

Driver: No I have not, Do you want to drive it?

Cop: No thank you. I'll be right back. (Items in hand now)

Driver sits in the vehicle and feels sorry for herself. "why me, why me"

Cop: Ok Lydia, your ticket is going to read like this: Front license plate missing, put the plate back on and have an officer sign the ticket. And dont make that turn again. Please drive safely.

Driver: Your kidding. (mouth wide open)

Cop: No, Please drive safely and take care of that car.

Driver sat in the vehicle, made the sign of the cross over her face as a Catholic would. Thinking "wait till the guys hear about this".

I think that my car got me a Monopoly dont go to jail card, right?

Kny rolls his eyes.... pffff that would *never* happen to me!

Well we'll take them all as they say.

Now you owe your car a little added TLC for the favor  http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif

Happy safe and ... ticketless driving

In Australia, Volvo drivers are considered very s l o w.

I once saw a TV comedy sketch in an "unbelieveable scenes" segment where this traffic cop has pulled over an 850 T-5 and is looking at the car and saying to the driver "Yes, sir, you're quite right. There must be something wrong with my radar gun. Sorry for troubling you." Walks off shaking his head http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/smile.gif

Hi Lydia,

Can't say that I was as fortunate with the boys in blue when I demo'd my first XC. I wonder if you would have evoked a similar reaction from him if you were driving the 1800? http://xc70.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif
