So it happened. i got caught. By a laser gun not radar(thank you mission viejo police). If anyone is familiar with the area i was on alicia right by the kaiser on my way to vollunteer at the boys and girls club(serves me right right?) and i came upon the crest of the hill and passed a slow truck in 2nd gear and maxed it out to 6k rpm. of course this is precisely when my V1 detector goes off letting me know i just got screwed. so i got clocked at 68 exactly where the speed limit changes going downhill from 50 to 45.. even better!!! haha so the cop is pretty nice but even with a clean record and a polite attitude a warning was just not plausable. I guess it takes a ticket to dislike police passionately. So he wrote the max speed in the zone at 50 so that makes 18 over (ouch) so i can take traffic school without a problem. i deserved it but i wasnt doing anything dumb. i really wish i could feel like i was doing something dumb but theres a protected median and light traffic conditions so i figured passing him would do no harm. obviously i was wrong. lesson learned, but it really didnt take a ticket to put it in my head... just being pulled over is enough.. but since when does punishment come in necessary dosses. I know i deserved a ticket at 18 over(actually 23) but before you condemn me how many times have you done it? no i wasnt impressing a girl or racing some civic, simply driving too fast.
and this ticket just added to my wonderful week with my grandmother dying. my father losing his job( and consequently my free college tuition) my mother having a VERY serious infection of Staff and Streptococcus Bacilli (for those who are in the medical field you will understand that with lymphadema is EXTREAMLY serious and so all of this is just a great test given to me and my family from God. JUst to see how much we can handle and still remain faithfull.
So heres a message to all you Stanger's. Just remember that the cops really are out there to get you. its their job, they may be great people, but traffic cops have the sole purpose of keeping the streets safe, which in this case means giving out tickets to (hopefully) prevent more accidents. So just drive accordingly. i blame Corsa for the ticket by the way.. these mufflers just sound too good over 4k rpms.. its just not fair...
