Stupid Speeding Ticket Excuse, Circa 1958 - "Speedster Blames High Powered Gas"! From the the 'Altus Times-Democrat' newspaper - Nov 18, 1958. ------------------------------------------ Mart3406 ==========
thats almost as good as the time i told the nice officer lady that "the big tires on my 4x4 may have thrown her radar gun off" to which she replied "ive heard of that" i got a verbal. very nice gal
The postwar years were times of austerity almost everywhere. I've heard the quality of "pool" gas available at the time was low. If you usually get to 4,500 rpm on the flats without pinging, and someone slips another 10-20 octane points into the tank, this might conceivably happen.
Who knew that when I got out of L.A. the smog free air would allow for so much better fuel combustion that I would break the speed limit? Oh, and these re-treads made the tyre that much taller, I didn't realise I was going so fast officer!! Doc.
i was about 12 when i was riding with my cousin diane.she got pulled over for speeding and she had a coke in a bottle and poured some in her lap. handed me the coke and when the cop came to her window she was almost in tears and told the cop she was pissin in her pants and please hurry up and write the ticket he let her go!!!! i have used the im about to mess in my pants because i got the runs,it does work lol
