Got pulled over in the Ex doing 105 in a 70 in Paw Paw, Michigan... I was on my way back to school and just flying past the rest of traffic (it was cool, everyone in the passing lane was also getting out of my way), and I had not seen any cops for a long time so it seemed safe (in terms of not getting pulled over -- definitely not safe to go that fast). So I am cruising along, when I look in my rearview mirror and all I could see was a big suburban riding my ass.
First thought: "What the hell is this jerk doing riding my ass, I'm needled out!!!"
That's when I looked again and noticed the lightbar on the dash of the suburban.
I moved over to the right lane and then to the shoulder. Cop walked up and asked me if I knew how fast I was going. I said "Nope, but I know the needle was down here (pointing to the Overdrive symbol on the gear selector). He told me he had been following me for about 3 miles, going 105 to catch up to me. (This is why I still contest that I was not doing 105, because if I was, he never would have caught up to me). He was actually not a dick about it though... He just confiscated my license since I could not pay the ticket right then and it was an out of state license, then he told me "You're blowing by everybody on the road, man! Slow down, because there are about 4 of my buddies parked up the road".
I paid the ticket the next day (It was about $250) and my license was soon mailed back to me. Insurance never went up, but I got the points on my license. I considered going to court to fight it and try to get the speed dropped to 95 or so, but then decided I would just bend over and take it because the court house was 4 hours from my home.
That was 19 months ago now so all the points are off of my license.
but if you were for real, then it meant
