I was pulled over for speeding by highway patrol officer S. Prater (14104). Officer Prater was very polite and professional in his traffic stop, which I needed, due to my unawareness of the speed reduction in the area. A friendly reminder and visit such as this is often what the public needs in order to realize that they are out there putting their lives in danger in order to make the highways safer for you and me. Once again I commend this officer for his courtesy, politeness and professionalism, along with concern for where I was headed and our safety.
