Speeding

Apparently, the cops hate me. I was going 50 in a 30 supposedly. I could have been. I was slowing down from coasting down a hill. I was super-nervous and he's like stop jittering.

I was on my way home with my friend Erik behind me. We were going a little over the speed limit, okay, maybe more than a little. I saw the police coming up on me from the other direction.

His lights flashed. I slowed to a stop. He tried to talk to me on the speaker thing to get me to pull over, I didn't hear him. My friend, Erik, went by. I swore.

The policeman walked up to my window and tapped on it. He's like did you hear me. I respoded, "No." I had already gotten my registration out of the glove compartment. I told him my wallet was in the trunk. He had me pull up get my wallet out and wait for him. He took my license and registration and explained to me what had occurred. He said I was going 50+ and I think it was maybe 48 but whatever. He rounded it down to 45 either way because at 50 you are at a 200 dollar ticket and at 45 you are at a 75 dollar ticket.

So anyway now I think I may lose my license for 20 days but whatever. I was really angry because I was only 150 feet from the sign where it changed and they changed the speed limit within the last few months. Anyway, Drive the Speed Limit until you are 18!
