Didn't get a ticket for that only the speeding ticket.....27 mph in a 25 mph zone ?

27 in a 25, how many times I went thru that, when I was the Sgt. of the shift.
Then I would rip up that worthless citation and tell that boy go back to the
station and play games till the end of the shift. You have to give people some
wiggle room speedometers are not were not certified as being accurate for
2 MPH . Kids with a badge made my head turn all gray....lol

The ground seems to be fine. (I scratched paint off the steering column and used a punch to put burrs in the mounting strap.) I saw the pilot bulb flash once today. Once a day is about all it does. Flashers just seem to be flakey with LED lights.

I got the same, 27 in a 25, while in my fireman uniform, just got off shift. Paid about $35 for that one in 1958. Ran a residential stop sign at 75 mph, testing the shift setting on a 55 Olds and the cop let me off for being to stupid to site. Fun times.
