. . . and i'm giving you a WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!
no ticket
edit: California Highway Patrol in my town
:shocked:
(i thanked him . . . twice)
++++++++++++++++++++++
EDIT: Here's the "details" of the stop:
Actually, i was on the cell-phone (with a utility company so i was pretty irritated) and noticed i was almost 75 in a 65 . . . i immediately let up on the gas and looked back to see the CHP way (way ) back there.
I continued to coast until i was doing exactly 67MPH and noticed he was pacing me . . . after 1/2 mile more he put on the lights. He told me i was doing 80 in a 65 and i told him "impossible". He said "my radar is calibrated" and that he noticed me on the cell phone. i agreed with him, that my speed "got away" from me during the call on the downhill grade but it was NOT 80MPH.
He pressed me to tell him exactly "how fast" and i said almost 75 when i immediately let up the gas. He told me to "watch your speed and i am only giving you a warning this time."
:thumbsup:
2nd EDIT: How lucky, you might ask? He didn't even cite me for my cracked windshield . . . about a foot-long from a rock.
UPDATE It's been about 10 days and i thought you'd like an update. Evidently my "stop" was part of a CHP crackdown on speedeers. . . . 2-3 cops patrolled where one was the norm. And i have to say it worked - whereas 3/4s of the drivers used to routinely fly by at 10-15 miles over the speed limit - they have slowed to nearly the speed limit.
i guess we're now all 'saving gas.
