Uh Oh….Crap!
Well of course. Turned 500 miles this morning and the very first time I send it this happens. Sunday morning on a empty 4 lane I come around a lazy sweeper and there he was. He was very professional, ran my information, quickly returned, handed me my cards and asked me to slow down some and enjoy the beautiful car. Carry on.

He said 68. Not too excessive. I will tell you though, it’s been a long time since I had those butterflies in my belly. Lol

Stroke of luck that he let you off with no ticket. Perhaps time to go play the lottery.

Getting stopped is not the end of the world. Now, if you're in "go to jail" speeds, that's another matter.

Lucky he let you off with a warning, now spend the money he saved you for a radar detector.

Either he just wanted to check out your ride or you got the "old guy" free pass. Keep calm and carry on.

What was the posted speed limit. I think he just wanted to check your ride out.

Yeah, this is a real thing. If you were 25 you'd have gotten a ticket for sure.

All good until you get lasered by a motorcycle cop on a bridge over the interstate. Damage is already done and costly. I unfortunately speak from recent experience.
