Subject: RE: Help: Singles driving to Canada with kids
You know, I've been crossing for about 35 years probably on average 3 times a year. My relatives have been coming up as long. I can't begin to calculate the number of times that Latimers have crossed the border, but it is literally hundreds. I have been pulled over once, I have had two cousins pulled over once each and one of those was being a smart ass.

Apparently they have to pull a certain number of vehicles over. I was crossing at Detroit one time on my way to Florida. There were three or four lines going to the checkpoint. At the back of one was on old jacked up Nova with a hood scoop, big mag wheels about four long haired guys and a bumper sticker that said "Don't like my driving? Call 1-800 Eat-Shit." I pulled right behind them figuring that they were certainly going to be pulled over and that they wouldn't pull over two vehicles consecutively. Worked like a charm.
