 New Radar, Stupidity Provails
Ok i've had this quite expensive safety device(radar/laser detector) for about 4 months now, And initial research found that none of the loacal companies would install it for me in my pristine new SLK. So it's been sat there looking perdy in its box.
This weekend on the way to the race track of all places, I was taking quite easy in the middle of nowhere, No house, no schools, no parks even no junctions. Just wide open north texas planes. So I'm driving along and one of texas finest offices is driving the other way. I think nothing of it until I see him spin round. Figuring I havent seen another car for 10mins I guess i'm in for a little "respect my authority". Anyhow turns out the small bit of road he was passing me in drops for no reason what so ever to a 45zone.. and I was doing 65mph. My english upbringing doesn't help in the UK a road 3 times the width, twistie and two way would be a 60zone.
So now i'm punished in the wallet, I figure this weekend I'm going to fit the safety device myself just so I dont waste the time of any good doing officers in the future. |
