So last night I am coming back from Blockbuster and I pull onto the freeway on one of my favorite on ramps. It is only one exit away from where I need to be so I usually do a little 0 to whatever blast and then get off.
I get a little sideways going up the onramp and then get into it full throttle with a clear lane ahead of me so I take it up to about 110 and then just as I am letting off, I get lighted from behind.
I pull off on the next offramp and pull into a wide spot for the officers safety.
I roll down my window so that maybe he will not see my tint. He walks up to the other side of course.
Cop; So do you know how fast you were going?
Me; No, not sure.
Cop; well north of 100.
Me; how could that be, I just got on the freeway?
Cop; come on, I know how fast these trucks are.
Me; ok.
At this point I know it's no use to bs the guy. He walks up and looks at my missing front plate and asks "do you have a front plate"? "I think", I say.
So he tells me to sit tight and he's going back to his car to write me a citation.
He comes back and tells me he is just going to issue me a verbal warning for the speed and a "fix it" ticket for the missing plate and my window tint.
I just said "Thank you" because I figured he let me off pretty easy.
Now I just have to remove my tint, temp. mount my plate, get the ticky written off and then re'apply the tint.
I just thought I'd share the story.
