He wrote me for 79, which will allow me to go to traffic school. He made a point of telling me that, and I said thank you.

I was in traffic behind a bunch of cars, but I was just about to make a move, and I think he sensed my impending "throttle up"

Duh, you go a couple of miles faster than you think you are going after a car wash and wax!

Highway Waste Patrol or local PD? Generally with CHP you have a good chance of fighting the ticket via Trial by Dec and winning. I beat my last 3 tickets with the CHP. Local cops are a toss up. If not for that radio and air support, you could have smoked him!!!! Drive safe.

Of course, how else would you dry off those hidden beads of water and wax?
