Before last night, I've only been pulled over once.
Now it's twice.
On the way home from school, I was happily chatting away with my West Coast Friend, (who posted about it on her blog) when suddenly there were blue lights flashing in my rearview mirror.
I knew that I hadn't been speeding, and didn't think I'd been swerving. What had I done to warrant this??
It was just a rear light missing, and the gracious Amherst policeman let me go with a warning.
And that is the extent of my run-in with the law.

Dear "busted" parishioner,
Mercifully, we can extend confession hours this week, just for you.
Your pastor
I bet she'd be happy to confess while you fixed her taillight. :)
"Gracious Amherst policeman"??? Now THERE'S an oxymoron! My one and only speeding ticket was at the hands of that town's constabulary. Rrrrgh.
Glad you had a better experience with them than I.
( Okay- so I WAS going like 48 in a 30...but WHO actually goes THIRTY going down Chestnut Hill?)
P.S. I think Brad's only speeding ticket was in that town as well.
Lindsay lawless!
Hmmm...I got my first ticket going down CH as well...but, with the help of another local officer, my ticket was eventually dismissed.
Amherst cops are bad! you must have batted your eyelashes or something. No fair...
I used to not like Amherst cops until one pulled me over about six months ago. He came up to my truck, complimented me on my "I love my wife" bumper sticker, properly chastised me, and sent me on my way. Who needs eyelashes when you have a cool bumper sticker?
Since I have the inside track on C.O.P.s and I am married to one of the best, I must now comment: Not all of them are nasty and want to give those tickets out. Just remember, there are bad doctors, bad plumbers, bad teachers...need I go on? I have been stopped (yes, a cop's wife!) by an Amherst cop and a New Boston cop; the Amherst cop was nice and let me go on a warning, the New Boston cop was a...well, I won't say what he was!
Oh, and by the way, TacCom says that batting your eyelashes is the worst thing you can do!!
p.s. The previous commentor would like to clarify one thing...she was stopped both times on Chestnut Hill. It is very hard to go 30mph downhill on that road!! [and that was, like, ten years ago, I am an excellent driver...!!(rainman)]
