When I blew by him he didn't even bother to try and chase, he just got on the radio to see if anybody up ahead might be able to stop me. When I turned around to pull back in the neighborhood I pretty much fell into his lap and he pulled out and turned on the lights. Since I was the only one on the road I knew he had to be coming for me so I pulled over by the clubhouse and waited for him. Long story short he was extremely nice and wrote me a reckless ticket for 6 points and $700, he reduced the speed on the ticket to 135mph in a 55mph so he wouldn't have to arrest me and impound the car. The week after I called him for about a week to see what options I had to pay for my stupidity but potentially avoid the 6 points against my record as I was a young guy with a clean record and didn't want my insurance to skyrocket. He told me since I was so polite and made the smart decision to pull over and wait for him he'd take care of me. When I went to court he ended up requesting the ticket be reduced to the minimum fine of $74 and 2 points.....HUGE break.
Quite a story -
I enjoy reading those
