charlos: When commuting between Berkeley and SLC for a while I used to take I 80 driving in "Autobahn style"....of course not for long.
When pulled over for speeding I always started to talk in German to the officer "was is los ?" explaining that I just saw all these blue signs "80" and they look very similar to the German signs for minimum speed. Usually they gave me a smile...what a silly guy...and let me go on.
p.s. That advice on the bottle of Port sounds nice, especially for trips in and out of Utah
There are 17 dry out centers for alcoholics in Utah so the port may not have worked.
