....has some low speed limits on their access roads!
Around where my parents live(Grapevine) and here where I'm at(Garland) the speeds are 45-50mph. Well, I was at Academy with my brother buying 45ACP for today's range trip, and leaving I had to swing around under the highway to go south to Alpine. Well, one of NRH's finest decided that I was goin a little too fast....
Apparently 53 in a 35 is a no-no there. He was very curteous, and when I handed him my DL and CHL, he asked if I was armed, I said yes. I had to fish for my insurance, he was very understanding. Gave it to him, he checked it, returned the insurance card and the CHL. Took the DL back to the truck and ran my number. Came back and gave me a hard time about having a few tickets from before my girls were born(and I had little care for the speed limit...) and told me to slow down. We both wished eachother a happy holiday season and went on our way.
He seemed more friendly after he saw my CHL, and was very jovial in his entire approach. While I do not enjoy being pulled over, this was the most positive experience I've ever had during a traffic stop. And yes, I deserved the ticket, however he was kind enough to let me off easy. My brother was shocked to say the least, as was my wife. :)

A little secret from someone that works in the LE field. This time of year cops don't write many moving violations.
The exception to that would be if said officer pulls over said violator and the first words out of the mouth of said violator is "say man why you pulling me over?"
The rules change December 26th.

I was raised to celebrate Christmas all year long. Maybe it might catch on?
