When the officer walks up to the car, he sees the driver is an eighty-year-old woman with very thick glasses.
"Ma'am, why are you driving so slowly on the highway?" he asks.
"Why are you mad at me? The speed limit is only ten miles an hour!" she replies angrily, gesturing toward a nearby sign.
The officer looks at the sign and sighs. "Ma'am, that sign says 'Highway 10,' not 'Speed Limit 10'."
"Oh my goodness!" the driver exclaims, embarrassed. "I'm so sorry, officer! I'll look more carefully at the signs, I promise!"
The officer nods and glances casually into the backseat, and freezes. Sitting in the backseat are two other women, wide-eyed and pale, barely breathing, their white knuckles gripping the seat as hard as they can.
"Are your passengers alright?" he asks.
"Oh, they're fine," the driver replies. "We just got off Highway 180."
