Yes, i did get pulled over for speeding on my rollerblades.
Apparently, the speed limit is 8 miles an hour on rollerblades and yes, the cops used A RADAR GUN to track my speed. I wasn't even trying to go fast, I was just cruising along. I mean seriously, how bored are the police in Newport?
I didn't get a ticket but I did get a stern finger wiggle and warning. I mean, I didn't even have an ID on me. I could have just said my name is Slafen Bockenflander...
Anyway, a lot of people witnessed this event and enjoyed yelling funny things like "SLOW DOWN YOU SPEED DEMON" and jokingly wiggling their fingers at me as I passed them later on. As I passed one guy he yelled "COPS ARE BASTARDS!" I don't agree with him, but I appreciate his support :)
Only in the life of Liz Hetzel.
So, how fast WERE you going?
ReplyDeleteThe Tustin cops stopped my husband for speeding on his bike... back when he was in 6th grade!
Apparently, I was going 11. And I love "...back when he was in 6th grade!" Hahaha.
DeleteIf you were just cruising, I could only imagine what 8 mph is like. That must be really slow.
ReplyDeleteRight?!
