We've all been passed by motorists on the road going much faster than we were. But you can imagine my shock at recently being passed by a speeding lady going down the middle of the road's dotted line at a truly breakneck speed (at least 100 mph, on only a two lane road)!
The danger she proposed was high, so you can imagine my relief when I passed her later on down the road parked in front of a car with whirling lights. Their conversation went something like this...
"License and Registration please," the officer asked.
"It's okay, Officer, I have a special license that allows me to do this," said the lady, smiling.
"Yeah, right!" he replied, "I've never heard of such a license."
The lady reached into her purse and handed him her license.
"Just as I suspected," the officer said, "this is an ordinary license, and I see nothing here that would allow you special consideration."
But the lady, still smiling, pointed to the bottom of the license.
"See? It says so right here: 'Tear Along The Dotted Line.'"
