[Shotimes] 141 MPH Speeding Ticket(almost)

[don d]

I had two interesting expierences at warp speed ... in the past 10 years. Nothing recent ..since i have become more sedate in my driving habits esp with the new florida law .. U get caught racing someone on a public street its a felony and u loose your license.

My first close brush with the FHP .... I was late to a meeting and I was on I-10 doing about 135mph. Just as I rounded a corner .. two state troopers coming in oppsite directions came around the bend and my valentine came full on. 

Instantly I had come around the bend and they were out of sight. Now this was my philopsphy about fleeing and eluding. U have to know u are being chased to flee and elude ? right ??

So if u dont see them behind u .. u can only get ticketed for speeding that u have already been caught at ! .. So I got up to max speed ( about 145) and proceeded to the first exit .. took a side road .. and stayed in a side lot for about 40 minutes catching some zzzzzzzzzzz's

Second expierence was on alligator ally near miami. WAs coming home and had a corvette playing with me( this was when the car was supercharged). Well we were crusing at 130 .. and heard on my cb radio from a trucker that a FHP mustang did a flip( i never saw him ) and he was coming at us at a high rate of speed.

Corvette didnt know this ..  I did .. so i jumped to 150 ... got out of sight REAL quick .... and got off at a rest area .. and stayed for another 40 minutes.

Got back on and passed the vette down the road ... with the FHP pulled in behing him .. that was funny.

No longer speed like that .. too dangerous.
