I've gotten out of several tickets just by being pleasant and owning up to my offense. I've paid several, too.
Once I was approaching this tiny, bad-place-in-the-road village. Didn't even have a traffic light, just a blinking light. Village had two police cars, though. I was about a mile outside the village on a four-lane divided highway. I saw Barney coming toward me on the other side of the highway, and I detected a sudden change in his speed. I watched him cross the median to fall in behind me, maintaining his distance. As I passed the village limits sign, I reduced my speed to the village speed limit. Just as I reached the center of the village as denoted by the blinking yellow light, he closed up and lit me up.
The young cop, dressed in civvies, got out. I said, "Surely you are not going to ticket me for speeding." He said, "You don't consider 73 in a 65 to be speeding?" "It might be but the fact is, I was out of your jurisdiction at the time; I observed the speed limit when I entered your village. You don't have the authority to ticket me." He responded, 'Well, maybe I don't, but the Sheriff's Office does." I said, "Well, call 'em."
He took my license and went to his car and got on the radio. After a long conversation, he got out of his car, handed me my license and said, "Mr. Spears, consider this your lucky day." Obviously the Sheriff's Office told him what he could do with his ticket."

Today's Featured Article - 12-Volt Conversions for 4-Cylinder Ford 2000 & 4000 Tractors - by Tommy Duvall. After two summers of having to park my old 1964 model 4000 gas 4 cyl. on a hill just in case the 6 volt system, for whatever reason, would not crank her, I decided to try the 12 volt conversion. After some research of convert or not, I decided to go ahead, the main reason being that this tractor was a working tractor, not a show tractor (yet). I did keep everything I replaced for the day I do want to restore her to showroom condition.
