    Disabled Car Parking Spaces

    in The Lounge

    Posted

    I have members of my family that are disabled and I understand how important it is to have disabled parking. I just get annoyed sometimes when I am going round and round the supermarkets trying to get parking and there is a row of disabled parking just empty !! But I understand obviously that its needed. :)

    Speeding Ticket Excuses?

    in The Lounge

    Posted

    The best excuse I heard was from a friend... "She was driving along one day and must have gone a little faster than she should have and was pulled over and stopped by the police. Her husband is a former police officer and told her how he always let someone go if they could tell him a reason for speeding that he hadn't heard before. She knew she had to think quickly because he was now approaching her door. He advised her that the reason he was stopping her was she had exceeded the limit by 15 miles over. She said to him "Do you have any idea what I did to the last cop who stopped me for speeding?" He looked a little shocked and began feeling more cautious. She said, "I married him." He just walked away and said slow down !! :P
