Jesus broke the law. So did George Washington. You did, too, and we want to hear about it.

Excessive Speed

Up +50 Down

The other day I was incredibly pissed off and decided to drive very fast to take out some of my agression (I live in a rural area with many open roads). It was 10:30 at night and pitch black out, and I'm going 125 mph on a two lane highway with a speed limit of 50. As I'm approaching my turn I back it down by jamming on the brakes and my car starts swerving all over the road. I make it around the turn and start going up the hill normally when I see a car behind me that wasn't there before. Naturally, the county sheriff flips his lights on and I pull over. All I could think about was how completely fucked I was the entire time he was walking up to the car (I'm 17 and never had a ticket before). The cop walks up and says nothing other than "hi there, you ever whacked a deer before?" I tell him no and he kind of nods, then takes my papers back to his car. Now I'm thinking that I'm definitely fucked and how I'm gonna explain this to my parents. He comes back and gives me my papers back and pretty much just says I could've hit something driving the way I was driving and he didn't want me to get hurt. Then he said "I wasn't really sure what to do about this, I was gonna call your parents and write you the ticket, but I didn't." He said he didn't want to have to pull me and my friend out of a wrecked car, and went on to say he was young once and didn't give a shit and understood how it was easy to get going fast on that road, but it was important to be careful. He let me off without even a formal warning. Oh yeah, and he never mentioned anything about the fact that I was also driving over the line, had no front license plate, had an illegal tinted cover on my back license plate, and my insurance was out of state.
