Ace Got Caught Speeding - Oops! Cop Had a Sense of Humor Though.
 

Was driving home in the G the other night and I guess I got a little "over-enthusiastic" when the light turned green. (Hard not to do in a 298 HP, 6 speed sports car.)

Well, next thing ya know, there's some red and blue lights flashing in my mirror, and one of Bakersfield's finest (or was it the CHP - I dunno, I was too pumped full of adrenaline after I saw the lights to tell) pulled me over.

"Have any idea what the speed limit is here?" he asked.

"Yes officer, 55, " I said.

"I had you at 65," he said. "May I see your license and insurance info please?"

So, I hand over everything. Start calculating how much this is gonna cost me, ticket $125, on-line driver school to avoid the insurance bump, another $250. Geez.  THAT'S ALMOST A TANK OF GAS!!!!

Anyway, the cop comes back, hands me my license, I get ready to sign the ticket, but instead he says, "Ok Ace, you can go now. Just try to watch your speed next time," and then he added, and this was really funny:

"ESPECIALLY WHEN THERE IS A COP RIGHT BEHIND YOU!"

  Something was going on in the Kern River Canyon yesterday.  After getting to the freeway part going east, there were 3 chp cars with perpetrators pulled over, and another holding the ticket in his hand.  Usually there are none or at the most one, so there must have been a Friday first of the month payday bust.  Or we have had a big rash of druggers.

 I think $125 for the fine of the ticket is a little low.......

 You lucked out. They see your car and like to pull them over. They figure you can afford the  car and the ticket;) Be glad you didn't pick a red little fast car;)

 

Typicall if you are maybe driving over the limit within 10 miles and hour, no big deal but if you are over there it's usually not good.
