Sunday I met up with some fellow stangers, and we chilled for a few hours. I just got my rearend built so I was feeling the go fast bug. So the crew decides to cruise out for a little drive and I'm feeling good so I do two flyby's to showoff or what not and on my last pull I see the police pull up behind me. So at this point Im like holy shit I F'd up.

The cop comes up to the car and immediately asks for my license and registration, then ask if I was going to see the doctor about my problem, and I ask what problem and he says "the problem with your lead foot". I laugh(nervously) and he smiles and goes to his vehicle. He comes back 5 minutes later and says its my lucky night, and I ask why and his exact words were "you were going so fast that I didnt get a chance to clock you so I cant legally give you a ticket, all I can do is give you a ticket for changing lanes illegally without signaling but I give those out allday so go see a doctor about that foot". I stuck my hand out and asked to shake his hand and said THANK YOU at least 10 times. He shook my hand and said "nice MACH but slow down!".

I went on my merry way and had a smile ear to ear for the rest of the night not even going one mph over the speed limit. I dont believe in luck but shit happens and I will be a more responsible driver, but Im sure I'll get the go fast bug again but will not go that fast again on a residential street.

Why wouldn't we like this story? Sounds like you had a positive run in with a gearhead cop who knows what it's like to want to romp on it once in a while. Can't say I haven't done the same exact thing before (except for ricers, they always get summonses) I kid! I kid!

Not all cops are dicks all the time, ya know!

Legally he could have given you a ticket for exceeding the posted speed, radar is not the only way to do it. But I like the story and seems not only did you get a nice break but you learned a lesson. Take care and watch your surroundings

That's awesome man. I got caught speeding one time, I knew I was ****ed so I pulled over before he pulled out. He pulled up along side of me and said nice cobra, please slow down. I replied thank you sir and ill definitely do that, he said have a good night and left. They're definitely not all dicks, just gotta watch out for the ones who are.

I think when cops give you a break, the lesson learned sticks harder because you know that doesn't happen often.

Thanks for the replies guys. It was a very good lesson learned, and I will keep my eye out even more next time
