In June of 2002, my whole family was in Orlando for a family vacation. We had one day free to go to the beach. Since none of my brothers knew jack about Florida, they allowed us to pick which beach we were to go to. We chose Cape Canaveral National Seashore since it is nice a quiet, good shelling etc. When we got there, it was closed for a space shuttle launch. Now, anyone who has been to Florida in the summer knows that you can't be on the beach in the height of the day especially with several young kids. So I book the van for Cocoa Beach. I am going like 95 when we get to a construction zone. I slow down to 70 (I think the speed limit was a 35). A cop nailed me with a radar gun and jumps in his cruiser after me. He pulls me over and tells me that the fine might be $500.00. Now my kids are in the back seat crying, my wife is bitching me out and my parents are there too. I guess the guy took pity on me and reduced it to reckless op and gave me a ticket for "only" $70.00.
It felt like I got off with a warning, :)
