Barb’s Close Call



Barb had hurt her arm but she thought it might be better and she wanted to say good-bye to her pickleball friends in Ottawa before she left for Florida.  So she went to Pickleball in the east end on the Tuesday before the Thursday that we were leaving.

She was driving down the Queensway in the fast lane as usual and there were no cars in the fast lane at all.  There was one car following her but he seemed to be happy with her speed. So she didn’t pull over.

Then she saw the police flashers go off on the car behind her.  She pulled off the highway and policeman in the unmarked car got out.  He told her that he had clocked her going 145 km/hr.  If she had gone 5 km/hr faster, he would have had to take her license away, impound her car and give her 10 demerit points as well as a hefty ticket.

Fortunately, she had a clean record and he only gave her a ticket for $95.  Barb has never been so happy to have to pay $95 dollars before.
