Coldwater, Michigan | I've been guilty most of the times I was stopped! I got a couple of times I wasn't sure I liked the result, but when I considered the ones I got out of, I can't complain.
When in High school I got my 1st stop one night after delivering my dance partner to her home. On the way back into town to help tear down the decorations I step my foot on the gas and just as the speedometer was reading 110 mph, there were red lights flashing in the rear window. Oh sh..! I never even saw his headlights till he turn on the flashing Reds! He was in one of the small Plymouth's with the 426 wedge engine in it.
Discussion went "where you going"? I told him ( he was one of the advisors group to the party we just had). "Where are you coming from"? He said "I don't know how fast you were going, and I have a Pursuit car, not a patrol car. I do know how fast I needed to go to catch up with you, though. And I am going to write you a warning ticket."
To which I said "you aren't going to write me a ticket?" And he said "Don't you ever let me catch you going that fast again, for any reason!"
He never had to! I got a few speeding tickets in other states over time, but never for being that far out the speed limit!
