The week after my ex and I got married we traveled to the town we had lived in when we met. One day while there I took the car and went to see a friend. I was heading back to where we were staying on the bypass around town, I was speeding but not flying. On came the lights and I pulled over. Officer asks for the usual license and registration. I handed him my license and started digging for the registration (not my car and husband wasn't the most organized person). Finally found it and handed it over. Of course my last name wasn't changed yet on my license and the registration address hadn't been changed so I really thought I was screwed.
The officer asked if it was the car I usually drive and I replied that no, it wasn't. I further explained that we had just gotten married the previous week so that's why names, addresses, etc. didn't match.
The officer proceeded to go on about how if the tires were different from the original tires it might make the speedometer off a bit...and essentially talked himself out of giving a ticket...not even a warning. I have been married to three different mechanics and known many others...I am still waiting for one of them to tell me that the speedometer can be out of whack due to new tires that are the same size as the stock tires.
