Work Discussion Cop pulled me over in mail truck🤔.

I was going over the speed limit in the mail truck doing my usual Amazon Sunday and the cops decided to pull me over.Now I’m not sure what the rules are on that but I figured I would post here and see if anyone else has experienced this as I have never been pulled over in the 4 years I’ve been with the post office.He gave me a warning and told me to slow down and I said I would.But is this a common thing and what is everyone else’s opinions or insights on this?

why are y’all all forgetting that sometimes people just drive a little faster than usual sometimes (and I’m not talking about people speeding 24 seven. I’m talking about people just accidentally going over the speed limit a bit once every so often). Y’all cannot act like you have not ever accidentally drove a little too fast

Or like at my station where everyone in the entire state and stations (even cops) go 10 over the limit. Its actually less safe to go the limit around these people.

agree- you kind of have to adapt to how everyone else is driving. also everyone makes the mistake of pushing on the pedal a little too hard sometimes it’s too easy to make that mistake. i’m not sure why everyone’s giving this dude such a hard time
