My husband got called into the Mess Sergeant's office shortly after we arrived in Belgium, and was getting an ass chewing for speeding, when he asked what date and time was he supposedly speeding. He convinced the Mess Sergeant's that it would be impossible for him to get the ticket at that date and time, as he would have been on the chow line. So he has to go over to the base Gendarme office to find out what is going on. Well, when he saw the picture of the driver with very long hair ------------- it was me, and I was not even late for work, just driving too fast. Got to pay the fine and move on. But, several years later, driving my husband's brand new MR2, racing up to Brussels to grab a forgotten article off my desk and get back home before my husband got off work, I got caught and this time, it was not a pay and release ticket. It was a required go before the judge ticket. I was clocked going 140 MPH in a 120 KPH zone. We had to ask for a trial by jury - English speaking and knowing how long it takes for the bureaucratic system to work, we managed to leave the country before the trial date could come up. Did it stop me from speeding? What do you think?
