This isnt really related but kinda, so here goes anyways. 
While I was in the great state of Colorado, I was in the cab of a pickup 
truck with my Uncle (Driving) my father and brother-in-law. If your math is 
right, there was 4 of us in the front of this truck, not a seat belt on 
any of us. My uncle looks at me and says, "hey Shawn, this truck has got 
some geddup", and floors it. I look down the road and see something that 
doesnt look quite like a ski rack, spedo says 75 so sure enough it's gotta 
be a Highway Patrolman. He pulls a U-turn and naturally pulls us over.
 
Well, we had just been fishing and were on our way to another worthless, 
fishless lake in 40 deg weather and 50 mph winds. (ya, I was having a great 
time, splended! Would have rather been at MGP!)  So the nice officer says 
that he got us for 69 mph in a 45 and asks my uncle why he was drving so 
fast. My uncle says, "My wife is in the hospital". Which, she was, but has 
been there for 4 days already. The officer says, ok, then lemme see your 
drivers licence and proof of insurance. He runs his licence and plate and 
says to slow down and lets us all go. Hmm, nice guys there in Colorado. if 
this would have been here in SD, we all would have gotten a ticket for not 
wearing seatbelts, also for having too many people in the front of the truck 
and the driver would have been arrested for excessive speed, (speeds of 15 
mph over the speed limit are an arrestable offence in CA) and the truck 
impounded. 
Nice place, that Colorado.
