In a Scion xB. I was following another State Patrolman to see what he was up to.
I hadn’t had a ticket in years and the cop almost lost control of his car when he followed me off the freeway onto eastbound Maple Valley Highway - I love to fly around that corner. Funny thing is, he wasn’t angry and massively reduced the ticket. Basically he HAD to do something so he did.
It pays to be above board, over 40 and frank.
As a forty-year freeway commuter in LA, #1 on the list, the strategy I developed has always been effective: stay with the freeway until hitting real congestion, then get off onto surface streets, checking back on the freeway occasionally.
I’m glad that works for you - around here it seems people have no imagination regarding “alternate routes” -well, I should say the locals probably do, but who the heck is a local to Houston? The place is the United Nations...you rarely meet anyone from here.
Like, for example, “from PA”?
Actually from Texas, through PA, back to Texas....or Houston, which I really don’t consider to represent Texas. ;^)
