Everything did go well with my wife, Thanks for asking, she doesn't do pregnancy well. She has been pregnant 4x So far, and we only have 1 son to date, with #2 on the way, slated for Thanksgiving.
So, when she says she is not feeling well, or feeling weak, I am invisioning the worst and gettimg home as fast as possible. The officer saw that I was very distraught and reduced the ticket, but still made me wait till he wrote it. Thankfully my wife called a neighbor to come stay with her until I got home.
I am a very responsible business owner that works 6-7 days a week, 10-12 hours a day, and this car is my only outlet. I don't golf or fish.
I set the internal speed alarm to 40mph to keep me in line in the city limits.
Hopefully that works, One more ticket and I will be posting a Summit White 2010 Camaro 2SS/RS for sale I will get back into a large SUV and save my license from any more problems.
The last Camaro I owned was a 1991 Red Camaro with T-tops, when I lived in NY, and wasn't pulled over nearly as much as I am down here in Florida.

Thanks Again!
Being a South Florida cop I can tell you that all of the cities down here are straining to meet budget concerns without raising taxes. Writing tickets is an easy way for the cities to make revenue. The new red light cameras are bringing in a lot of money for the cities using them. I have two daughters and a wife of thirty years. I know what it is like when they call on the phone crying and you have to get to them as quickly as possible. I have an advantage over you with my lights and siren but I still have to be careful getting there. I will not lie to you and tell you that I always do the speed limit but I do try to pick my time and place. Enjoy your car and slow down just a bit. You have a growing family that wants to you to come home in one piece every night. We will get together after my Z/28 comes in. Take care.
