Bad news my friends, I got my first speeding ticket ever (yes yes i know ive been lucky).
It was a big one too, with alot of explaining and so the story begins.....
On my way to work last night i decided to go for one of my common scenic drives through some back roads around the general Wal-Mart area (where i work). I came to a road that goes from a rural highway, 80km/h and then to a 70km/h valley, once the valley ends it turns into a city street which is 60km/h and short distance to Wal-Mart. I took a set of lights from a back road onto the valley (which is also short..... maybe 1/8 kms), and giving it a quick full throttle from 1st to 3rd and then evening out. There is a Subaru dealership just at the beginning of valley and its quite dark. There lies a strange looking Ford Explorer, odd in a Subaru dealer, no lights on, thought maybe it was for sale but it still gave me a weird feeling, so i slowed to the 70km/h just as i passed it, VTEC and all. This valley is wide, dark, straight and nothing around it other than the dealership. No houses and no traffic, especially at 10:45pm. I pulled into the Wal-Mart parking lot, with a big set of headlight in my mirror and then.......... red flashing lights. FUCK ME so it was a god damn cop! And the SOB pulled me over 2km later at my work. I watched as some of my co-workers pulled in and parked. Great now i have some explaining to do, to like 35 people......
The cop came to my window, "Dude i sure hope you dont always drive like that, do you have a speedometer? Doesnt it work? I got you clocked at 119km/h in a 70km/h zone. Licence and registration. You were 1 km/h under to be considered stunt driving, which could mean a 7 day roadside licence suspension and car impoundment." He came back 5 mins later..... felt like an hour. "Here is your ticket, here are your options, have a good night."....... quick.
The ticket had a set fine of $260, he gave me $359.00 payable. He could have easily gave me the stunt driving charge. He was Ontario Provincial Police (OPP), which would be like state police for you. They patrol outside cities, which i technically was. They are known for their strictness.
He was generous...
So now i have a $359 ticket, probably some points off my licence, increased insurance premium, teasing co-workers and an angry girlfriend. Teaches me for being stupid, i think i have learned my lesson. DONT SPEED PAST THAT DEALERSHIP AGAIN. Lol im kidding, i need to slow down.
Wish me luck guys, angry GF's are the worst. I am getting over it, its only money and some bruised ego...... lets see how long it takes to smooth this all over.
:axe:
