Have you ever had one of those moments where you had to stop and wonder if you just saw what you thought you did? Well on the way home after work on Friday, I passed a police car going about 15 over. Of course the blue lights went on and I figured I’d been caught (again). Well, the cop passed me and pulled over to a bit of shrubbery lying on the side of the road. I, naturally, kept driving by (except this time I was going the speed limit) acting like nothing was wrong. Jokingly I told myself that the cop was just red-green colorblind (my car is red…and sorta shaped like a shrub) but looking back, he probably noticed the bush in the road and figured that was more of a safety issue than giving me yet another ticket.
(You know you have too many tickets when the police call you by your first name and recognize your vehicle…)
Anyway, hopefully you’ll find this almost as amuzing as I did.

I’ve never been saved by a shrub before. But I have noticed that a lot of times, they never catch are really deserving of it. Ha! VA has sucky speeding fees.
