So we made the 2250 miles from California to Louisiana with no problems last weekend (40 hours worth of driving)......I drove most of the way, but would let the wife drive when I needed a nap...a few times I'd mention to her that she better slow down (posted nighttime limit is 65 in TX)(80mph is her favorite number it seems)....she often complains that I only go a few MPH over the limit...well, we are driving a bright red car with CA plates
We handle our business in Louisiana and head on back to California....finally at about 11pm on Sat, near Fort Stockton, I am woken up from my nap with my wife mumbling "damn, i think I'm getting a ticket"....
Cop asks "what's the hurry", wife just says she's kinda daydreaming
So, the ticket will be about $140 or so I think (forget the excact amount right now)
Needless to say, my wife did slow down and mostly obey the speedlimit...I'm kinda glad she got pulled over, she hardley ever listens to me when it comes to things like this...luckly, it was just a ticket and that we didn't hit any of the deer we see eating on the side of the road....they have the speed limit for reason and on that section of highway, it's much more safer to travel at the posted 65 due to all the deer....
