It's never fun to get pulled over, but one mom has changed the perspective of many with a simple handwritten letter to a Colorado State Trooper.

According to a post by the Colorado State Patrol, State Trooper Voss received a heartfelt letter from a thankful mother after her son was pulled over for speeding.

Speeding in Colorado

One thing you'll notice as you drive through different places in Colorado is that the speed limit might be a lot lower than what you're used to if coming from a different state.

Navigating the Colorado mountains can take time to get used to and the mother expresses her thanks to the Trooper for the valuable lesson he gave her son.

While it may be frustrating at first, it's important to remember that these speed limits are designed to protect drivers and even pedestrians. Plus, with the ever-changing weather in the winter, it's crucial to play it safe.
