DRIVING - another true story. Waiting in a lay by ready to catch
speeding drivers, a Police Officer sees a car puttering along the A22
at well under the 30 mile per hour limit.Says he to himself: "This
driver is just as dangerous as a speeder!" So he turns on his twos and
blues and pulls the driver over.Approaching the car, he notices that
there are five old ladies, two in the front seats 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 Police
officer, trying to contain a chuckle explains to her that A22 is the
road number, not the speed limit.A bit embarrassed, the woman grins and
thanks 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 made a sound this whole time," the
officer asks."Oh, they'll be all right in a minute officer. We've just
come off the A120."
