So my Target is like 45 minutes away. I usually go about once a month, and today happened to be the day b/c they were having such great mark downs. So we go, and I spend about $100, and I am on my way back. And we are all moving down the highway pretty fast. All of a sudden FIVE state troopers come out of nowhere and pull all five cars over. (I was right in the middle-just keeping up )

WELL. turns out I was going 86 mph in a 65. $215 dollars my friend.

and that was my $300 trip to target.


p.s. dh made fun of me for getting pulled over in a minivan going 86mph....

wow! I'm so sorry this happened to you. They must really be determined to pull over 5 people. I've never heard of something like that happening.

Sorry about that!

My dh had that happen to him and 7 other cars when getting off the exit ramp from the hwy (going down town) luckily his fine was only $75.00. He said they were there for 2 wks every morning. They must have made a ton of money.

don't know how it is where you live but here you could have lost your dirvers liscense for going 20 over... well that was an expensive target venture...

Hey, at lest you weren't in a not well marked school zone and the fine was doubled!! That happened to DH returning from taking a job application and $800 later not even an interview!

P.S. i know how horrible it was that I was going that fast. BUT its a new van and I have never driven on the highway with it. SO! lesson learned!

I will defend you. I did the same thing when I got my van. the ride was so smooth and quiet I had no idea I was going so fast.

Tell that to the judge. If you act remorseful, hopefully he'll let you off with a warning or reduced fine. Let him know that now that you're getting used to the van, you have a feeling for where you are speed-wise and you are better able to watch your speedometer more closely. Worth a try.
We have the over 20 rule here, too - it's called criminal speed.
