What are the odds of stopping a traffic violator with the first name Sally?

Asked by john65pennington (29273points) March 20th, 2011

Out of 44 years of stopping traffic violators, I thought I was going to retire, without ever stopping a Ford Mustang with a girl named Sally driving it. In the summer of 2008, I clocked this vehicle going 82 mph in a 45 mph zone. I stopped the vehicle and asked to see the drivers license and proof of insurance from the driver. Boy, was I shocked! This was history, in the making, for me and probably for every police officer in the nation. The drivers name was Sally and she was driving a Ford Mustang….....Mustang Sally!
Question: what was my course of action with Mustang Sally?

Thanks filmfann. Did I issue her a citation or not?

Of course you did just so you could have proof that you actually stopped her in her mustang

Just think even if she went to court to have the ticket lowered, it would everyone in the courthouse that day would be singing mustang sally…. you would be ledgendary

In the state of Confusion California, if you are found traveling over 20 mph above the posted limit, you don’t get a ticket, you get a free ride to jail. Of course, most cops don’t actually do that, and write them up for just under the 20.
According to the song, you should have put her flat feet on the ground.
I am guessing you let her go, since it was your first Mustang Sally.

You should have asked her to get in the backseat with you.

Similar to the odds of finding a tattooed lady named Lydia.
