13: Pulled Over On Base
The military bases around the country house hundreds of soldiers and employees a day. Reddit user Squadral told the story of being stopped. “I was driving on a military base when I got pulled over about 150 ft past an intersection where I had been stopped at a red light. The MP walks up and tells me that he clocked me at 67 mph (in a 25 zone). I explained to him that there was no way that my 2001 Saturn station wagon could have been going that fast that soon after being stopped.
“What I didn’t say was that I checked my speed just before he stopped me and I was going 40 so I let off the gas to slow down. (What can I say, that little V6 could sound decent if you laid into it.) He walked back to his MP van, returned about a minute later, handed me my license, and very sheepishly said “Have a nice day.”
