Speed limits

Sitting on the side of the highway to catch speeding drivers, a police officer sees a car puttering along at 22 mph

He thinks to himself ”this driver is just as dangerous as speedster”

So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over, approaching the car, he notices that there are five old ladies-two in the front and three in the back- all wide-eyed and white as ghosts.

The driver, obviously confused , says to him, ‘Officer, I don’t understand,I was doing exactly doing the speed limit. What seems to be the problem?’

‘Ma’am,’ the officer replies, ‘you weren’t speeding, but you should know that driving slower than the speed limit can also be a danger to other drivers.’

Slower than the speed limit? ‘No sir.I was doing exactly 22 mph.’

The officer explains that 22 was the route number, not the speed limit. ‘Before let you go, I have to ask you , is everyone in the car OK? These women seem awfully shaken, and they haven’t uttered a single peep all this time.’

‘They will be all right in a minute officer, we just got off route 119.’
