Ten minutes later he came back with a warning ticket. 
Oh my god... you are my new hero.... I never get away with ****...

I remember the scene in the movie FARGO . . . when the guy had a $50 bill sticking out of his wallet. The scene got really gruesome after that point in time.
I monitor the Ohio State Patrol. Those who get stopped usually get stopped multiple times in a rather short period of time.
CARDINAL rule for me . . . Only push it on the highway not in town . . and I use a Valentine 1 too. . . been real pleased following my rules of not speeding when there are a lot of other cars around or in the city limits . . . plenty of places you can use to go over the limit . . . you were lucky . . . you are a candidate for another stop soon but you may not be as lucky the next time . . . those insurance rates will grab you too when they do a BMV check

"I got caught a few weeks ago, it was 9 am on a sat taking a friend back to the airport. The express way becomes local and the exit ramp i needed was closed so i switched lanes and sure enough a cop on a bike was lurking under a ramp. He got be for 76 in a 55. Guy was a dick and gave me no break or anything, and it switched from 70 to 55 back like 100 yards plus the exit ramp i needed was closed. Not really making exuses but in 13 years of driving i have only had 2 5 over tickets in that time.
I got a lawyer for it so we will see how things turn out."
Finally had my day in court, zero points and a $110 dollar fine. Well worth it since it probably would have been 4 point or more ticket.
