Cops

Got talked into going out tonight, really stupid, work tommorrow at 8:30 (god i hate mornings), doing bout 110km/h in a 60 zone. 1 paddy wagon pulls out in a side street. slowing down now. another persuit vehicle pulls out a few streets ahead. down to about 80 now.

Flashing lights. Fuck. drove around til i found i nice park ( you're allowed by law to find a park that's safe if you feel unsafe where you are signaled) so pulled in. cop jumps out, walks up, asks what speed i was doing. They knew but wanted to see what i'd say. "oh 80" looking like a hit dog. "Any particular reason you were driving at such an excessive speed" (is there really an answer they'd accept, but i wasn't going to try my comedian act).

Cop's radio starts blaring "You're looking for a silver lantra registered to ..(name withheld)" couple of seconds later. "And that car is done" came the radio.

He warned me about having to cut me out of the car. brethoed me. Which i thought could be a problem as i had had some drinks and still have my Zero Blood Alchol condition. roughly 2 and half bundy and cokes in about 4 or so hours. Put me bang smack in the legal limit. if i was at .05 limit.

Be a bit more careful, blah blah blah. "could hit a black fella" was the cops reply (not to be used for legal purposes) did a full car inspection. tyres, plates and so he followed me to dropping my mates off. and i had no fine given to me and that would been a $100 plus a $10 victim levy. coulda been a lot worse. all my mates said i was lucky as hell. not the first time i've gotten off like that. happened once before. but funniest is that today i got gun sighted running at about 110 again in an 80 zone. and they waved me to slow down and that's it.

So for the rest of my trip home i set my cruise control and thought fuck. that was lucky.

Another funny story bout cops and a beer keg and two drunk teenagers. anyway that's some other time. i'm going to bed
