Was stopped several years back on a two lane highway heading out of Road America after a day of races (and beverages..many beverages). Police woman stated I was clocked at 76 in a 55...whoops. When asked for my license, I politely asked if I could exit the vehicle and get it out of my bag in the trunk (next to the cooler).

She came back after what seemed like an eternity and gave me a warning since I had an impeccable driving record.

Thank goodness I was driving my Grand Cherokee instead of the 911...I'd probably been toast. Buddy was stopped this past ALMS weekend...same stretch of road, clocked 82mph in a 55 zone in his 997 Carrera Aero...got a nice fat ticket, but he hadn't been drinking, which was fortunate.
