A WV. State Trooper was patrolling State RT. 10 in Logan County, when he notices a car puttering along at 10 mph. He thinks to himself, 'this driver is as dangerous as a speeder!' So he turns on his lights and pulls the driver over.
Approaching the car, he notices that there are five elderly ladies - two in the front seat and three in the back, wide-eyed and white as ghosts.
The driver, obviously confused, says to him, 'Officer, I don't understand. I was going the exact posted speed limit. What seems to be the problem?'
The trooper, trying to contain a chuckle, explains to her that 10 was the route number, not the speed limit.
A bit embarrassed, the woman grinned and thanked the officer for pointing out her error.
'But before you go, Ma'am, I have to ask, is everyone in this car OK? These women seem awfully shaken.'
'Oh, they'll be all right in a minute, officer. We just got off Route 129.'
