Default One Way

Hi all. I just got a ticket for going the wrong way on a one way street.. Heres the story..

I just worked real hard at landing a hunt on a church that the city bought and will be tearing down soon. I actually got the permission right from the Mayors office which is great for my credibility.

I had my daughters with me today as it was bring your kid to work day. After we had lunch I decided to check out the church. I was so busy looking at the grounds and talking to my girls I turned the wrong way on the oneway street.

Well needless to say, there was a cop and I got a ticket..

Good news: my wife works with cops and the ticket will go away...

My point is, if your in an area to hunt that you dont know well, pay attention to everything even the oneway streets signs... good luck and be safe out there...

It's like when you drive 10 miles and you can't remember getting there because your mind is on something else. Thank God for the wives...they save our butts all the time!

omg... I hate to say it but when I lived in Tallahassee this happened ALL the time. I've never seen a cop give out a ticket for it though... they're usually pretty understanding b/c one-ways are confusing! Thank goodness you're safe though, and the only reason your trip was stopped was because of a cop!!
