Ha! This was maybe 6 months after I first got my license. I was messing with a friend of mine. Scared the crap out of him passing him on that street going that fast.

lucky u werent going 31 over the limit. they would have given you a ticket for reckless driving (6 points) and if the cop felt like it, taken you in and have someone bail u out.
