yeah i was. I think the cop was accelerating down the on ramp before i ever passed by him and I never saw him at all since he would have been behind me the entire time. I had ended the pull and was on the brakes slowing down fast wehn i saw the lights on my ass. Sure I could have down shifted and floored it and probably gotten away from him before he had a cnahce to radio for any help but i think he had already seen my tag and I wasn't about to make a bad situation worse.
in the end he wrote me for a measely ticket. statute he cited is for exceeding 65mph on a non interstate hwy. it is a $145 fine. But I have a mandatory court appearance. All I can do is hope for the best. Guessing the officer citing me for that statute was probably his way of saying you shouldn't have been doing what you were doing but at least you did it on an empty highway in broad daylight when no other cars were on the road. Reaching that speed took all of 5 seconds. Sure wish i could take back those 5 seconds.
