I was coming back to town one evening, no traffic, and I was enjoying the sunset over the west Texas caprock. I wasn't particually paying attention to my lane position and was apparently easing back and forth in my lane (never crossed the lines according to the trooper). Red and blues in the rearview and the first time I have been pulled over with my CHL (almost four years).

I exchange plesantries as I handed over my CHL and DL. DL was on top and top of CHL was showing from behind. He never altered the arrangement and never looked at the CHL other than the top of it as handed. He asked me where I taught (Passenger and school bus CDL), asked if I had anything to drink or was sleepy (no and no). He said maybe the big motorcycle off center in the back was causing me to catch the wind funny. I agreed and off he went. No warning or citation.


This was during the click-it or ticket campaign, I had a dirt bike in the back, some seats from an old RV (that he took interest in) and may have been weaving a little and no traffic/slow night. I figure it all added up to be a reason to stop me. I didn't mind. I would rather him stop and check than let me (or anyone) drive sleepy or impaired.

Guess it all ends up being no harm no foul. He had nothing to write me up for and I didn't get off. Write it off as a non-incident.

So I guess I can't check any of them.
