I got pulled over the first time on Sunday - was doing 81 in a 65
Sometimes it is hard to really keep track of the speed. Typically I use cruise control but sometimes it is hard with people moving in and out of lanes, etc - which is what happened this time.
Anyway - officer was great!! I was going along and he was sitting in the shoulder, lights came on and I look down at my speed
So I assumed he was after me and I was right, he never had to even leave the shoulder, I immediately put on my blinker, slowed down, moved over and then pulled over as far off the highway as I could and he just crept up behind me.
Anyway, came up, introduced himself and said he got me doing 81 in a 65. Then said I had a really nice car
and asked me how much it cost
So I already assume this is a great officer, and I am always polite anyway. He asked for my license, I went to get the registration and he said I didn't need to get it for him - so I was already hoping it'd be warning. He came back, gave me the warning and then said something like "This is a really nice car, and I definitely understand the need to go fast in it - just be careful, this warning will be in the system for a while (didn't say how long exactly)." So he basically told me to not try to get as many warnings as I could
In the end, great cop - and being courteous goes a long way. If I had kept driving and made him pull out into traffic to chase me down, it may have been different. He kept complimenting the car and was great. Just remember, police officers are people too.
