I almost sh!t my pants just right now

Skorch · 03-30-2009, 02:13 AM

So I'm heading home from hanging out with my buddy and I'm on an empty highway. I live kinda far from the main city, so it's a good 10 miles and the speed limit is 55. I'm cruising at about 80 or so, and after I pass a couple cars and no longer see them I decide to try out my 370Z's 4th gear acceleration. I floor it and enjoy the feeling of being pressed in my seat and don't notice that I'm already going 110. In my rearview mirror I see headlights, they look like a truck because they're too high for a car. The headlights are getting closer... I figure wow, this guy is really in a hurry somewhere... So I slow back down to 80 and change lanes to let the guy pass me. As the truck passes me see that it's a cop. He blows by me at about 120 or so. My first reaction is OMFG - the cop just passed me while I was going 25 over! He also most likely witnessed me doubling the speed limit as well!

At this point my exit is coming up and I see the cop is getting off on it. I had the urge to just keep going, pass my exit and come back but I was feeling tired and wanted to get home so I followed the cop. At the end of the off-ramp the cop stops and turns his lights on. I begin mentally cussing myself out for not listening to my inner voice. I pull up behind the cop and watch him get out and approach my car. I ask him how he's doing and in response he says, I'm on a domestic violence call, what's your excuse? I reply that I'm going home. He then asks me, would you please slow down? I assure him that I will, thank him, wish him a good night and he leaves to get back to his duty.

I have to say that was probably the best experience I've ever had with a cop and I wish you all the same should you ever get caught for doing something stupid.

your one lucky dude. i also tried my 4th and opened it up to 7500 rpm. i think i was about 110 to 120 but didn't look at the speedo...

You remind me about all the times the cops stopped me during a little "test driving" on two or four wheels....
Sometimes you meet the right guys, sometimes not. But when you meet the right cop your faith in the law reaches a higher level. You really think they're working FOR you, not AGAINST you.

close call. glad you made it out without the ticket.

StLRedrider · 03-30-2009, 09:27 AM

Me too.

I immediately connected it with the other new thread on 'internal gripes' (which I haven't read yet). I was starting to think that I'd made a 'boo-boo' and 'logged' on to some other 'dump' by mistake.

Oh well - I suppose that cop gets a few 'brownie' points.

Your one lucky dude...
Slow down or be prepared to pay the price!
Literally homie.

Don't follow cops for too long, they don't like it. I followed an unmarked car on a rural interstate once for about 30 miles, and he eventually pulled me over. He was pissed! I was keeping my distance but I was matching his speed exactly.

LOL!
I was on the Garden State Parkway on the left lane and I didn't even notice but there was a State Trooper behind me. I thought he would just pass me so I just kept on going. A few moments later he pulled me over saying that I blocked his way from a speeding car. He said he was gonna write me up for a ticket and give me 2 points but didn't.

I still don't get why he couldn't have just gone on the other lane...

Interesting story, nice cop for sure too. I wish they would request me to "please, slow down".
