Wife is driving pull up to red light.
Big shiny new dodge 4 dr pulls up on the turn lane next to us and inches foward 6 feet ahead .
I said to wife hold back as he is going to jump in front of us. Sure enough, light changes rice mufflers bark and there he go's!
WOOP WOOP AREREEEE a un marked jet black jeep renegade roars and it's blue light special and we have a front 4ow seat!
We wait tell they are pulled over then go about our business. ..
Seen the officer jest a few minutes ago an he said he ripped the young man a new one but cut him a break as he had his wife and baby in the car...
Then he took a good look at our vette and told me that there was a track in Gainesville that has a run what you brung on April first!

Wife and baby in the car and the Cop cuts him a break. You would think he would do the opposite to make him think twice before endangers his family again.
But with Cops who knows what they are thinking.

Having walked in the Cops shoes, I can tell you what he was thinking. He didn't want to take money that would feed the kids. If a good ripping works, that's all that is needed sometimes. IMHO

In Cop 101, you learn lecture or ticket, but not both. LOL

I guess it pays then to take your family along when speeding.

The cop is counting on the wife to finish the job.....over the next ten years of their marriage.
