A Timely Warning and An Unexpected Gift
Maryland State Trooper Jordan walked up to my car window, announced himself, and asked if he knew why I had been stopped.
Yes, officer, I was speeding.
Did I know the speed limit?
I said yes, 55, and I was going 68.
He said I clocked you at 67. And actually the speed zone is 50.
I said I thought it was 55, and opened my mouth to say something else, but immediately closed it. I was in the wrong, and it didn’t matter whether it was 55 or 50.
He went on to explain that the speed zone drops quickly in that area.
He asked me where we were going, I told him…. He asked me if we were on vacation, and I said yes,
He said wait here...
