Safe and Ticketless

The trip to Sarasota was not boring in the least! About an hour or so into our trip we come to this little town along 301 called Citra. We were talking and Melissa didn’t realize the traffic light was changing to red. She zoomed through the intersection just after it changed. This town was very small but ‘fancy’ because of its blue lights above each traffic signal. As we passed under Melissa had noticed blue lights pop on. She said, “What are those blue lights for?” I said, “That’s so cops can tell when someone has run through a red light.” She said, “Oh,” and we both started laughing. Then she realized the person behind her was following extremely close. She moved to the right lane and the vehicle behind us moved over too. Then his red and blue flashing lights came on. Thankfully the cop showed mercy on us and did not give her a ticket. The funniest part of the whole story is that all along 301 she was going either right at the speed limit or under because she was so fearful of getting a ticket. I kept saying the speed limit aloud every time a new speed limit sign came up so she would speed up. On the brighter side of the story the cop was really cute. Too bad I didn’t look for a ring. J/K I don’t pick up random officers. Even though I do like a man in uniform.
