At 0800 today I pulled into the Tiger Tote in downtown Luling after a right turn at the red light (Southbound) . Upon leaving the parking lot (right turn heading Southbound) I was stopped by a local cop for 35mph in a 20mph “School Zone”. I DO NOT SPEED…ever! He asked if I was local…no sir, I’m not. He asked if I had seen the School zone,…no, I had not, what school zone? What school? Cop,,where are you comming from? me, the Tiger Tote. Cop, oh well you problably didn’t even see the sign (it’s in the parking lot so you don’t notice it). It’s about 100′ from the redlight and you will not see it unless you are the first one at the light.

I saw the 35 mph sign in the next block after the Tiger Tote parking lot and was stopped about 2 blocks later in front of a 40 mph sign and ticketed. THIS IS A TRAP IN THE STRICT SENSE OF THE WORD AND THE COP KNEW IT. A freind laughed when I told him about getting a ticket in Luling. He got the same ticket in the same location 2 years before. Oh, and the school you ask? It’s located 1/4 mile West of the “school zone” off the hwyway in a neighborhood not anywhere near this zone!

ANOTHER MONEY GRAB! I will not make my weekly stops in Luling to by my usual $100 in fuel and I’ll find BBQ elsewhere.
