1 year or so for me, classic cars and thier upkeep results in lots of warnings. None however in my new truck.
Haven't had a speeding ticket in 10 years

Well that was in June... time for an update.
August 9,2008 – I went work at about 1700 in Galveston to repair a phone problem in my office. It took me about 15 min. and I headed back to Texas City. While driving down 6th St. I passed a LEO at an intersection. He immediately pulled in behind me and turned his lights on. Of course when I saw him as I passed by I started slowing down. I might have been going a little fast. When we had stopped the LEO got out of his car and approached my drivers window. I was sitting with both hands on the steering wheel. He asked if I knew the speed limit on this street. I told him “yes, 30 mph." He then asked if I knew how fast I was going. I told him the only logical answer, “Uh… 30?” He laughed and said, “I’ve been doing this a long time. I didn’t clock you, but it looked to me as though you were going a lot faster than that”. He then asked for my DL and insurance. I produced them as well as my CHL. He asked “got that on you”? I told him yes. He asked where, and I pointed towards the area (I was wearing my Smart Carry). Now he asked if I had been drinking. I was drinking an O’Doul’s. He said that I could get in a lot of trouble for driving with an open container. I didn’t know at the time, but O’Doul’s contains 0.5% alcohol by volume, which he pointed out to me. Anyway, no ticket. Good stop all in all. I do have questions though, like why did he let me drive off drinking my O’Doul’s and why can I buy it before noon on Sunday?

Not bad for 33 years in between pull overs. Sounds like it went well.
IMO I would not have been drinking anything that looked or smelled like beer when I was driving, even if is contains little or no alcohol. How does the LEO know that you just didn't pour out the O'Douls and replace it with Budweiser?

Good point, although I have already made up my mind to never do this again. I still wonder about him letting me drive away while I was still drinking the "beer". And buying it before noon on Sunday.
