Those Friendswood cops will get you every time. 518 has got to be the slowest road in Texas. 30 through Friendswood between Friendswood Link and 2351, and then 45 from 528 to HEB. Feels so slow....Steve wrote:One time I was driving back from a buddies place and was pulled over twice for a broken headlight, once in Friendswood and once in Pearland. I guess because it was pretty late and I was the only one on 518. My buddy coincidentally was a police officer himself, so technically that was three LEO encounters in a span of less than an hour.
Probably one of the more eventful drives home I have had. Nothing bad happened and both time I ended chatting with the officer about what gun I used. Once I got home I went on amazon and checked the tracking # for that darn spare headlight. It couldn't get here fast enough.
So...I got pulled over......

Re: So...I got pulled over......
Back when I was young and dumb, well before my Military service, I had a similar situation happen. I had an expired Registration sticker and was pulled over in Coppell. Took my ticket without complaint and drove across the bridge into Irving only to be pulled over again literally less than 5 minutes after my first ticket. Showed the officer my ticket from Coppell. Officer looked at the ticket, then looked at me and said " Well son, you ain't in Coppell no more. Here's another one". Bit my tongue and rolled out.Mick22 wrote:About 12 years ago, I barely made it out the parking lot from work before being lit up by Friendswood's finest. It was late, so they probably had nothing better to do. Got ticketed for a busted headlight and no proof of insurance.Steve wrote:One time I was driving back from a buddies place and was pulled over twice for a broken headlight, once in Friendswood and once in Pearland.

I drive off and a few miles down the road, get pulled over by League City. I show them the ticket I just received and they send me on my way.
Went to the court, showed them the receipt for a new headlight and proof of insurance, ticket dismissed.
