I usually do scan ahead looking, but was on the phone with a customer and had just hung up.

As for just not speeding? Probably not going to happen, My territory is Texas, Louisiana, and Oklahoma. I drive 1500+ miles a week for work and I'm usually pretty ready to get where I need to go. Though I don't normally exceed the speed limit THAT bad. I really deserved the ticket and don't mind taking my medicine when I have to. I just need to make sure I don't get distracted and stay off the phone whenever possible.

Well, once again, I got pulled over in my company vehicle for speeding.

Driving back from Pryor, OK I looked in my rearview and realized there was a Trooper behind me. I pulled over to the side of the road and had my DL, CHL and insurance handy. Once he approached I informed him that I was legally armed, and my firearm was on my right hip. He just asked me to not reach for it or make any sudden movements.

He informed me that I was doing 87 in a 65(ouch) and informed me I would not be getting a warning today.

He was back in a jiffy with my credentials and citation. He chatted with me for a few moments about what I do for a living and was on his way after shaking(trying to crush)my hand.

Nice guy though, Knocked it down to 80 in 65.

Very professional and by the way he shook hands he could probably tear my head off no problem.
