| There is this corner by my house that gets horribly backed up in the morning. i know this, because it is about 100 yards from the entrance of my neighborhood. I start school at 7:15, which is 2 miles away. I left my house at 6:50 knowing this corner is bad. So im sitting there for about five minutes, and i finally get up to the light. There are about 10 or so cars behind me, all waiting to go. Im waiting for a minute or two for a gap when I finally see one, i slide in and pull up to a decent following length behind the car in front of me. The car behind me (white Escalade) with a female driver gets RIGHT on my ass to the point where i can barely see her headlights because they are too high. (this was all within 10 seconds, and 50 yards or so) The car in front of me turns off, so i pull ahead to move away from the Escalade (in 3rd gear now), but it turns off right where the first car did. No problem, I left off the gas and go to shift to fourth. Just as i put in my clutch i see a cop pass and hit his brakes. wooooonderful. i look down, 58mph. Ok, not too bad. So he comes up and puts on his lights, so i pull over Its about 6:58 now, he walks over...
"how you doing today"
"fine"
"you were really moving when you came around that turn, do you know how fast you were going"
"i never went past 56."
"i clocked you at 76. what gear were you in"
"i was in third, officer"
"i dont buy that"
"i had just come off of jackson mills road, i couldnt have gotten up to speed that fast"
"you were the lead in traffic, whats with that?
"i pulled in between cars, i was waiting at that corner for a while and i pulled in between two cars, they both turned onto freehold road"
"wait here son." 10 minutes pass
about 7:10 now. "where did you say you were headed."
"school"
"when does that start?"
"7:15"
"oh, so you're in a rush to get there?"
"not really, i was really early." (if he hadn't pulled me over i would have gotten to school around 7:00" (remind you, i have to be there at 7:15)
"so you were rushing."
pulls out a ticket.
"do you know why i am giving you this"
...
"because i really have no tolerance for you provisional highschool drivers. it is for 63 in a 50. the court date is on the bottom, if you want we can talk then." walks away. -------------- does anyone find that fucked up? so gay. 13 over. $88. first speeding ticket.. but im sure my insurance will rape me.
