- [various drunk driving ULs discussed...]
-
- Tha'ss okay. Recently an acquaintance and I were discussing ULs, and I told
- the ubiquitous story (noted as "U" in the FAQ) that goes something like:
-
- "A guy was driving while stoned and tried to avoid being pulled over by watching
- his speed very closely. After awhile he saw flashing lights and pulled over.
- When the officer approached he asked `do you know how fast you were going?'
- The fellow responded with some figure just over the speed limit, and the cop
- said `no, you were going 5MPH!' and wrote him a ticket."
-
- As I finished the story the fellow was staring at me in disbelief. Finally
- he said "how did you find out about that? That happened to some friends *and
- me* (emphasis mine) years ago." He then went into a full account, with names
- and dates, about how the whole thing happened. Unfortunately I don't know any
- of the other involved parties and can't verify his story. I might be able to
- find out exactly where the incident was supposed to have happened, though, so
- a check of police records might be possible.
