Stopped by a Florida State Trooper many years ago. Instead of walking up to the car, he got out, stood behind his door and motioned for me to get out. We had a brand new Volvo with Maine dealer plates. The speedometer had broken but we knew that 3000 rpm was 60 mph so we drove on the tach. Forgot that the electric overdrive gave us another 500 rpm so we were speeding. My NH driver's license, renewed by mail while I was in the Navy, so it was stamped "Valid without photograph or signature" As Little Bear notes, he had never seen that before. He let us go with advice to stop passing so many cars.
