WOW, can you say, "Thank you officer!" That was VERY cool of him to do that...
And BTW, don't even think of fighting the $7.50 charge in court. He was NICE to you and let you off already... don't come back and try to upset him by going to court for $7.50 (Even if they do add $30-40 for court costs) You got off EASY... (I know, that was someone else's suggestion and I don't think you were going to take it but just wanted to re-iterate)
I think that ruins it for others when they give you a break then you try to put the screws to the same guy that gave you a break later in court. You think he WON'T remember that the next time he "thinks" about giving a poor sap like me a break?
Only my humble opinion but when you've been given a nice break, try not to crap on the system that gave you that break...
We all have to take responsibility for our actions... Now I have to put my flame suit on because I wrote this... give me a sec...

Story!! Every once and awhile I'll get a break, last year going to town to pick-up a tux for the daughters wedding, met a Co. Sheriffs Car, he pulled over to the side of the road to make his u-turn and turn on his lights, so I found a good spot to get off the road and waited for him, he comes ups and looks and my paper work, and says," If you can't go fast in a Corvette, what can you go fast in?" and let me go
I was gone before he got back in his car

I was pulled over once for making a left turn from the center lane. It was late at night and nobody on the road (but me and Leo).
One thing I've learned, never have an attitude! If you are nice, they'll be nice too. We talked cars for about 20 minutes, then he let me go with no ticket--just a warning. He was one cool Leo.

good ending!
That is a great way to end the story. He gave you a break.
I've worked with the LEO's around here for many years and know they are just doing their jobs. I'm glad they do what they do and I've had my share of tickets (none in the Vette).
My wife and I did get stopped three weeks ago by a Virginia State Trooper. He got me on an old country road for too dark tinted windows, no front license plate and expired plates(I forgot to renew over the winter). He let me go with instructions to "fix it." He said, "he didn't feel right ticketing a firefighter!" Honestly, I have fixed the issues and am very happy he let me go. He is a nice guy.
As I see it: Cops are good folks trying to do a very hard job. To the cops reading this: Thank you for what you do!

However I also agree with a post at the top regarding him passing up the other 3 cars going faster just because he probably wanted a look at the vette. In a way it's flattering but in a way it's a little cheesy.

And
Do they really have to write a ticket if they call you in?
