Decided to cross at the Colombia crossing Friday because the Bridge II crossing was having a 50 minute wait (according to the website) around noon. On the final part of highway 2 approaching the crossing I was pulled over by 2 cops in a truck. “You were speeding over 40kph” they said, never mind that I was still following 3 trucks I had been trailing for miles and was going their speed.
Decided to play dumb.... no habla espanol. So the English speaking cop took over. “You speed”. ‘No, I was not’. “Yes, I must give you a ticket” as he pretends to start writing out a ticket in his book. Then, “You can either pay here or go to the Police station”. ‘Let’s go to the station I say’. “It’s about an hour and 1/2 away” he says. ‘Fine, I say, let’s go to the station’ “You sure.... do you have cash”? ‘Yes, let’s go’.
With that they got in their truck, pulled up beside me and said, “You drive slow in the future”, GO!”
