So.....I'm on my way to the first A/X of the season at "o-dark thirty" Sunday morning. Gots my new Hoosiers on, all cambered up, ready to rumble with JP's A/X beast. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/aktion035.gif) I hit the stafford to I-205 on ramp and run through the gears finding fourth at the end of the ramp, (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) touching a buck twenty five..... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) .....Car is effing fast. Coast down to ~60, notice the "bad profile" behind me and he lights me up. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/huh.gif) Stafford is a constuction zone right now, so I figure I'm really done. I can't pull over as there is no shoulder for about half a mile, I didn't want to load my new rubber with gravel.
The officer, a Clackamas County Sheriff walks up and asks if I know why he stopped me. "Yes" I replied. He takes my registration and insurance papers, goes back to the patrol car then returns and asks how fast I thought I was going. I replied "about a hundred". He then tells me he was running 120 to pace me and I was still pulling away.....He taps my papers in his hands while looking me over. "You have good safety equipment in a good car with capabilities, your probably a good driver"..........and walks back to his car. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) He returns with the ticket and says:"I have some good news and bad news". Good news is I'm not a motorcycle cop and I'm not a State Patrol, they would impound the car and you would need to be bailed out of jail. Bad news is the fine for this speed is $1103. More bad news is this is a construction zone, fines double. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) I'll just leave it at the base fine. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/clap56.gif) You may contest this ticket, but I will show up to court, the judge will, at the very least, double the fine, I suggest you just pay the fine. I was all "yes sir", "thank you sir". I sent the check last night. I'm sure my insurance company will have something to say as well at my next renewal. Loved the crack about (IMG:style_emoticons/default/stromberg.gif) |
