State Police contact - GOOD

I was in the carpool lane on I-45 when I was pulled over. I was doing 75 in 65. Partly why I was speeding was because I saw an SUV tailgating me, and I wanted to get more distance between us since crossing a double solid line is illegal. When he hit his lights, only then did I notice it was State Police. Awwww shucks! OK, here we go... I move over all the way to the right side of the freeway. As soon as we came to a stop, I pulled out my CHL and DL, rolled down both windows and put my both hands on the wheel. When the officer approached, I handed him both CHL and DL. He was an older gentleman. He handed me back my CHL right away and said... "Sonny, that carpool lane ain't for speeding..." "My apologies sir." "You know what the speed limit is?" "Yes sir! It's 65." "OK, then! You folks have a nice day and stay safe." I felt like I was pulled over by dad... LOL
He never asked me if I had my weapon on me. Good thing because I didn't as we were on our way to the airport to fly outta town. I was told by my LEO friends that a number of LEO's will give you a talkin'-to if you are a CHL and are not carrying... Makes sense as there has been a number of recent incidents where a CHL helped officer in distress.
