Driving Through a Speed Trap 


Angel: Why are you driving at a snail’s pace? 


Georgina: This is an infamous 1 speed trap. I don’t want to get a ticket – again. 


Angel: I don’t see any squad 2 cars along the road. Are you sure this is the right stretch of road? 


Georgina: I’m sure. Those cops are crafty 3. They hide out behind big rocks or a bend in the road, and as soon as you let your guard down and go over the speed limit, they nab you. 


Angel: But you’re not exceeding the speed limit. In fact, you’re driving way under the speed limit. 


Georgina: You can’t be too careful. You never know if those speed guns are accurate, and I don’t want there to be any doubt that I’m being a law-abiding citizen. 


Angel: But at this pace, we could get home faster if we walked! 


Georgina: Don’t exaggerate. You might be able to run home faster, but not walk.
