Gladys: I got a speeding ticket.
Brutus: How fast were you going?
Gladys: Twenty-five.
Brutus: That's within the limit on most streets.
Gladys: I was backing out of our driveway.
The cop who was walking by on the sidewalk calculated his normal jumping speed in an emergency and found that she had to have been going at least 25 when she ran over him.
(The next day, she was stopped again and argued that 25 should be deducted from her radar speed because she was ticketed last for 25 in reverse.)
Not so funny to me..A lady backed out of her driveway at speed into me with her pickup once..She pushed 6,000 pounds of my 3/4 ton truck up on its side and blew out both front and rear tires..When the cop showed up it was pretty obvious what happened.She lad left 2 stripes of rubber on the concrete..(Thank God she had insurance)One of those “mis-application” of pedals deal..
My grandma had a station wagon with the roll down window in the back. She was backing out of her long driveway and had to slam on the breaks because a car was coming and both of her standard poodles flew out the back when she hit the brakes! They were unhurt but a little dazed! I don’t know if that made her slow down or not. She always drove like a bat outta hell.

How’d they clock the speed? A radar gun set up in the house across the street?

So she gets a ticket for driving on a driveway. Next, is she going to get a ticket for parking on a Parkway?
