Statistical information about Texas speed traps. If I'm not mistaken, Palmer is number 7.
Thanks for the list. Interesting that three on that list are right in the same area:
7 Palmer, 21 Ferris, 25 Rice.

I would have been soiling myself if I dropped my license like that!
Yep, it could have been very different. I was half expecting a different experience but it worked out well. I'd like to think that having he CHL caused him to allow me to reach under the seat and just keep an eye on me. I was pleased with his reaction.

Palmer - Speeding

First off, I already know how dumb it is to get a speeding ticket in Palmer. I know they are always there but got distracted and speed crept up. I had just lifted when I saw the LEO point at me and the shoulder. I had hoped i would go much longer before having something to contribute in this section.

As soon as I pulled over, i took my two cards out of my wallet and reached into the glove box and got my insurance. As I was straightening back up in my seat, I dropped my DL between my seat and my console. My pistol was under my seat. I tried to get the license with my fingers but it just dropped down the rest of the way. I put my window down and put my hands up on my wheel with my CHL and insurance card.

When the LEO approached, I handed him my CHL and my insurance and immediately said, "my handgun is under my seat and I just dropped my license between my seat. Would you like me to reach under the seat to try to get it". He stepped back a step, put his hand on his sidearm and said go ahead. I reached around under there and could not get it. I told him so and asked if I could get out and try from the back seat, and reach under. He told me to go ahead. I got out, opened back door and was able to retrieve my DL and give it to him. I got back in, he did his thing and gave me my ticket and then said something to the affect of "here are your three documents" and I was on my way.

All in all, he was very professional. Realy didn't treat me any different. I would prefer not to have gotten the ticket but that's not his fault. I was pleased with his non-reaction to my predicament. He did a good job.
