I got pulled over for speeding Saturday, hurrying to faire!
CHP caught me on the NB 405 right before the 605. I was in the #1 making up for lost time. CHP caught me with a LIDAR gun at 81 MPH in a 65 MPH area. it felt weird to get pulled over as I have not had a ticket since 1988.
I can't help but wonder if the fact she is Sport Red Metallic has anything to do with it.
Oh well, we will see what traffic school is like this time!

That line's from SW #3/6, not #2/5.
/NERD ALERT!
I've had bad luck with speeding tickets in the past, especially because I've driven cars that are easy pickin's. My only speeding tickets came in my '79 Cadillac, mainly because I will limit how far over the limit I'll go to 5, 10mph max, and I get busted while some numbnuts in a damn beat to crap Dodge Turdmobile blasts by me doing 30 over. Why am I the one busted? Because I'm the easier one to catch.

Got to watch freeway intersections Pal. The CHP office is at Goldenwest and the 22 in Westminster, 1 mile from my house -- 2 miles from 450 / 22 and 3.5 miles from the 405 / 605. Easy shift / change pickins !!
Color has no effect, you were in light traffic and the speed probably stuck out
at that time of the morning.
Traffic school for ya. Get the funney class, some of the guys are pretty good I hear.
Glad you were pleasent with the Patrolman..........

Might want to check if you ins even cares. Mine only checks or cares if you get in a traffic accident. It has been years since I got a ticket though so maybe they changed.

Always pleasant with officers. No reason not to! I hate it when people nail you for doing your job. One of my hats at work is Computer Security, often a thankless job!

I normally get to the right early, when planning to go north on the 605. I was in a Hurry(Speed), and I was kind of Slingshoting it around the outside of slower traffic before moving right(behaviour).
Yup, I set myself up, and he was in the perfect position to paint me with the gun. So I own it, and that is that!
