This morning I got pulled over on my way to work driving through New Richmond, Ohio at about 6:33 AM. When the cop approached my window and asked if I knew why he pulled me over I honestly said that I did not. He informed me that while driving at 4 MPH over the 50 MPH speed limit he saw me in my car by the light of a street lamp not wearing my safety belt. It's important to know that I was wearing a black coat and have a black seat belt which I was in fact wearing. he gave me the choice between a speeding ticket or a seat belt ticket, I choose neither and got the latter. AND he called me "son" and informed me he was helping me out. He also informed me that a lot of deer like to run out in the road and it is "very dangerous to be driving so fast." Bottom line = $68 and I missed my 6:45 meeting almost entirely. As a side note my boss was driving next to me when it happened to his joy and my chagrin. I love working till lunch for free, but I hate everything related to automobiles.
