Speeding ticket... - 03/20/03 12:23 PM
So I got my first speeding ticket yesterday. Was only a matter of time, but really I dont speed all the time.
I was driving on the highway and decided to pass 2 cars, so I nail it, pass both of them get back in the lane and cruise at that speed for a moment when I see a cop drive toward me, we were talking in the car at the time and didnt notice him soon enough.
I'm thinking "no biggie he was going the other way".. so 5 mins later I turn into a small town to grab some goodies for the road trip and have lights and sirens behind me.
I pull over, cop was pissed, took my info and went to his car for quite some time. When he came back he gave me a ticket and that was it. The ticket tho wasnt just a speeding ticket for x amount of $. It was a summons to go to court.
He clocked me at 155. So it looks like I'll have a not so smooth ride coming up here.
It is my own fault, I'll be the first to admit. But jeez does it ever suck, I would have rather gotten a big ticket and paid it and been done with.
