Permitted Speed

The traffic cop told me you’re in for a fine
You should not dishonour the speed limit sign
Which made little sense
My driving license
Said, (in black and white) tear along dotted line

I probably heard this joke some fifty years ago, before I ever even had a licence. Still, I’ve torn along plenty of dotted lines since then. Cheers. Terry.

Lindsay Laurie Date: 3/14/2021 5:04:00 PM Hello Terry … it’s like winning lotto if you find a traffic cop with a sense of humour. Maybe a judge might get a giggle out of your excuse - thanks Terry - Lindsay Login to Reply Rico Leffanta Date: 3/15/2021 11:11:00 AM I have the old "lifetime" licence in Welsh, which unfurls like the old £5-note .....Aloha! Rico Terry Flood Date: 3/15/2021 1:32:00 AM Thanks Lindsay, an excruciatingly old joke. In the UK, plastic ‘credit card’ licences are relatively recent, so I thought I might get away with this hark to the past. Terry
