I ran from the law today

[JerrySTL]

Driving to work on a 4-lane highway and see a cop car coming the other way. I look down and see that I'm 15 MPH over the limit. Look in the rear view mirror and notice that there's about 4 cars right behind me AND the brake lights on the cop car. Knowing that it's going to take a little while for the cop to turn around, I make a quick left turn and I'm quickly behind a large fence. Seconds later I see the cop car giving chase with all lights on.

 

1. Was it a smart thing to do?

2. Will the other drivers give me up?

3. Should I switch my avatar or its it too late?

 

Cruise control and buying cars with the smallest available engine are about the only thing that keeps me from getting speeding tickets on the open highway. I have a lead foot. Fortunately my last traffic ticket was in the early '80s for speeding.

Did you fap while waiting in the car behind the fence?

son, you didn't just do the right thing, you did the ONLY thing a self respecting American can do!

What KT and Nate said.  You did good.

 

It is time for an avatar change, yes.

I may or may not have done the same thing in the past.  Ya know, sometimes you just have to make a last minute decision to get off the highway to use the facilities or something.

Dash Cam footage will hang you.

* trying to remember to use cruse control on the way home tonight *

What's cruse control?

[Kzoo]

What's cruse control?

 

That right there sir, is a darn good question.

[KrAzY]

I have done that kind of thing a few times. You did a fine job! 

[JerrySTL]

It's like cuss control but different.

[Kzoo]

It's like cuss control but different.

 

This is the SW Forum.  Conceived, architected, and ruled over with a firm iron hand by the Emperor himself His Majesty, SquareGuy.

 

There is no cuss control in the SW Forum.

[Ralphie]

So you are now an official scofflaw and ne'erdowell.

 

 

 

Congrats!

I dodged the police a few times in my teens while speeding. One time, 45 minutes after I lost them, I came across three police cars that had an older guy pulled over. They had their guns drawn, he had his hands on his head, laying over the hood of his car. I think his only crime was he had the exact same car, (make, model, color) as I did.  I felt bad for him, but not enough to turn myself in.

Scooter!  You little shit!

Yep, young and foolish.  And I thought I had mad driving skills.

With todays technology, they'd be sitting at my parents house, waiting for me to get home.
