So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over.
Approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies, two in the front seat and three in the back, wide eyed and white as ghosts.
The driver, obviously confused, says to him, "Officer, I don't understand, I was doing exactly the speed limit! What seems to be the problem?"
"Ma'am," the officer replies, "You weren't speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers."
"Slower than the speed limit? No sir, I was doing the speed limit exactly twenty-two miles an hour!" the old woman says a bit proudly.
The State Police officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that "22" was the route number, not the speed limit.
A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error. "But before I let you go, Ma'am, I have to ask... Is everyone in this car OK? These women seem awfully shaken and they haven't muttered a single peep this whole time," the officer asks.
"Oh, they'll be all right in a minute officer. We just got off Route 119."

#FUUUUUUCK.
Hard to win when you're playing against 2 teams at once.
Dumb penalties called and missed all night long, Bruins can't get over the hump.
Fuck 'em. 3-1-0 ain't a bad start to the year.
Just want to get your experiences on this.
I have points on my license, so I drive like a literal grandma. I have been screamed at 20 times on the road and honked at for going exactly the speed limit because I put on cruise control and I do not want to get a speeding ticket.
Last night, I saw a cop pulled over to the side of the highway. I was going 66/67 in a 65 (I do this because of the people who honk at me and I figure that I have the leeway to go 1-2 over.
This motherucker pulled me over for my “speed” and issued me a whopping 89 in a 65. I would swear on anything in the world that I wasn’t going above 67. I was in the right lane. I had cruise on. 89??? I haven’t gone that fast in my entire life. Furthermore, he pulled that # out of his ass because he randomly said “oh, 89” when I said well how fast was I going?”
I just do not understand. I want to file a complaint with this guy (don’t know if it’s a good idea). I want to go to trial, don’t know if they’ll take my word for it. I don’t care if he has a speedometer, there is 0% chance he has any evidence that shows I was going anything since 67. I just do not understand why this happened to me.
Are they trying to meet quotas? Is it because I glanced at him and made eye contact? Was that “suspicious”?
Does this happen to anyone else?
TLDR - Looking to maximise fuel efficiency? Here's what you do:
- Buy Honda
- Fill fuel at Shell, regular petrol, not premium
- Don't use cruise control
- Minimise braking as much as possible
- ...and some more finer details - read the bloody post below, I spent a lot of time typing it out
Background on the car first, as my car is in no way 'special'
I drive anywhere between 3,000 to 5,000 kms every month to visit my daughter in Chennai (Kalpakkam actually), I stay in Bangalore (see earlier post). Before buying my current car - I'm a first time car owner - I was looking at a brand new diesel Altroz - simply because I wanted a safe car and I didn't want to deal with my car breaking down in a deserted highway (has happened twice when travelling in outstation taxis). I came across 3rd Gen Honda Citys on the used market turning up for Rs. 3 - 5 lakhs. As James May once said on Top Gear:
>If you want to buy a used car, just buy Japanese
So I came across a 2009 City at a used car showroom with 72,000 kms, being sold by the 3rd Owner. A friend of mine test drove it, said it was fine, I bought it for 2.9 lakhs and I became its 4th owner. After I bought it, I took it to the showroom and asked them to do a full inspection and told them to change whatever was needed as I needed it to be as reliable as a brick. They said that the disk brakes and suspension were aftermarket would have to be changed but suggested that I don't change them immediately if I didn't have any issues with it. I asked if they could overhaul the clutch as it was a bit stiff for my liking - again, they recommended that it was good for another 15K before it needs an overhaul. The battery was weak and they suggested I replace it after a while. They pointed out that the ODO was tampered as the reading as per their records was 98K kms when it came in 8 months ago, and told me to assume that it was probably driven another 5,000 kms since then. They also suggested that there had been some minor body work done on the doors suggesting some accident history. They suggested I replace the front right wheel bearing costing me Rs. 4,500.
The car just ran fine. I've done close to 30,000 kms since I bought it. No issues other than the time when the battery gave up and and the engine just wouldn't start near my house - had to put a new battery in
