speeding AND stunting, NO ticket!

Just wanted to share my story.

My cobalt got broken into and my brand spankin new stereo got stolen, $1500 damages not including replacement of the stereo. So it's at the dealer getting fixed and I have a loaner, a cavie.

So me and my friend went for a drive because I don't care about a loaner. Not going to destroy it, but I'm also not going to care about putting miles on.

Anyway, I was driving her home at 3am. There is this turn where it's a very sharp merge that's oh so much fun to take at high speeds when noone is around. So I had her dare me to take it as fast as possible. I took at at about 80 or 85 klicks. Noone was around. I skidded and squealed the tires.

We were cheering (it's 3am ok, we were bored and acting like 12 year olds) when I see a truck far in my rearview. I asked my friend if it was a cop, it can't be a cop. She says oh it's a cop. No it's not a cop, can't be, did he see me? Aggie, it's a cop. No way dude, that's NOT a cop. AGGIE IT'S A COP! He turns on his lights and I swear I thought it was an ambulance, so I go into the right lane. So does he. I start yelling because I still thought it was an ambulance "GO AROUND ME!!!" so I go into the left lane, he's still behind me. FUCK!!!! I go back into the right lane and stop. He jumps right out of his car and comes to the window. Young guy.

Cop - Where's the fire?
Me - Oh my GOD! I didn't know that was such a tight turn!
C - You were going EIGHTY!
M - EIGHTY??? No way! I had no idea I was going so fast, this isin't my car, I can't judge my speed.
C - Have you been drinking tonight?
M - Nope (i really wansn't)
C - Where are you guys going?
M - I'm dropping her off
C - (to my friend) where do you live?
Friend - this and this address
C - (to me again) Have you been drinking tonight?
M - NO! You asked me that already!
C - (laughing) I'm just checking. Can I see your license? (i hand him my license, he glances at it, tells me I live on the other side of town and I better drive safely home) Have a good night!

He goes back into his car, pulls around us and WAVES and SMILES at us!! We wait until he's gone, take a glance at eachother and start CRACKING UP!!

I still can't believe he let me off so easy. If he had even checked my license, he would see I have a speeding ticket not yet taken care of, then surely he would have given me a ticket.

Anyway, just wanted to share :)

Congrats on just getting the warning. Gotta love when that happens. Keep it safe.

It still fully blows my mind just how NICE he was :)

And I do keep it safe, I may do some not so legal things at times, but I have a good feel for the car I'm in, if I don't then I don't do anything. And when there's snow or rain on the ground, I'm the person you yell at because I'm going so slow... but I'm also the person who always gets home. My dad once sent me out in the middle of an ice storm (a few years back, southern Ontario got a REALLY bad ice storm) for donuts, I kid you not. I've only been driving about 5 years, but I've not once caused an accident, or been remotely close to causing one. I've been hit, and pushed off the road, and had people close call me (just the other day nearly got t-boned by a guy coming out of a parking lot), but not even close to causing an accident.

Oh I'm THAT good ;)

I'd love to do some pro driving sometime in my life, go rallying or whatever the hell it's called, like off road cross country stuff.

And I'm done rambling, sorry it's late, I'm just going on and on and on :P
