All right, three weeks ago I am at a party, a'ight? No alcohol or anything because I am the only one in my entire group of friends that drinks. Funny enough, I am also one of the only 2 people out of seven that even have a license (we are talking about 18-23 year olds here) and the other person doesn't have a car. So obviously, I'm the driver for parties and such.
Anyway, so I am taking people home afterwards, which is fine. They want to see how good of a driver I am, so I get up to 130 on an open freeway. They are impressed (for some odd reason) and after about 2 seconds at that speed I immediately brake, slow down, and continue on doing the speed limit, as I comment to them "I gotta slow down guys I don't want to get pulled over and have my license suspended."
Two hours later my car is impounded, my license has been suspended, and had been so thoroughly frisked that at least one cop owes me a dinner.
What happens is that I am just driving around late at night (doing the speed limit) because there are no cars out and I just love driving, no matter how fast or slow I am going. Got my tunes on and am just crusing. Eventually I just decide it's time to head home. I get within two blocks of my house, and yeah. I see a crown vic driving in the opposite direction of me. Normally I say "uh uh, no way, staying the hell away from that car, gotta be a cop". But the thing is going 80-85 MpH down a 45 MpH zone without his sirens going.
So I hang a Uie and chase after him, trying to get a race going with what I think is just another late-night racer like me. Pass him doing 110, see the berries, and pull over. 'Course, told him I was just doing 90 so it would only be a misdemeanor and not a felony, lol, but yeah. That totally sucked. Didn't help I was also armed at the time, lol. I gotta tell you, the backs of those cop cars are not at all comfortable, as I imagine was meant to be that way. No seatbelts lol. Would suck to be a criminal and get into an accident in one of those.
And now I am going through some serious withdrawl from not being able to drive...But oh well.
License suspended: 6 weeks (20 days left)
Car Impounded: $155.18
Fines/Penalties (TBD): $400-$1000 + 90 days in jail
Having a one-of-a-kind story to tell my kids one day: PRICELESS
