    dodged a pretty big bullet this morning!

    So, I work for several different people, doing different things. One of my sources of income is delivering newspapers 3 nights a week and sometimes fill in for other drivers within our "group" of drivers.(I'm the only one who knows all the different routes). Well we got papers WAY late last night. And I had 3 routes to cover. Some times I run stop lights, stop signs, speed, go on the wrong side of the road etc.(discretionary of course). Well I got pulled over for doing all 4 with in moments of each other...... Thankfully the cop was cool about it and gave me a verbal warning. Mind you this all took place at around 4am. Just before he was about to walk away I asked him if he would like a free paper, jokingly he said are you trying to bribe me? Lol. Like I said thankfully he was cool about everything.

    Re: that cop, that's where reason and common sense met the law and common sense won. Thanks for sharing.

    How much would the tickets have been? You got lucky! How long were you delayed do to getting pulled over? But you live in Nevada so Luck is on your side...

    The only thing better cooler would have been if the policeman turned on his lights and said follow me. In that case bribing him with a years subscription would have been an easy decision.

    it delayed me about5 mins. I don't do home delivery, I do what's called single copy. Delivering to convince stores, grocery stores etc.

    We purchase laptop computers and many components for greater than scrap value. We offer a shipping reimbursement program.replies

    You got a nice policeman. Out here, the highway patrol seems to tailgate me for about 30 miles at a time.



    I'm not a fast driver. When there's a Dodge Charger behind me, I'm even slower!
