Okay, this was a while ago when I used to be a part of the Civic crew.
I would say this was the year 2002ish.
I was driving my 98 ej6 coupe.
I used to work overnight as a night manager at a Times Sq. Hotel.
My hours were 11pm - 7am. I did it for about a year. It was okay, but i started to get the, "bends." I was becoming a vampire and my social life and girlfriend at the time wasn't having it at all.
So there is this park near my house with a loooong downhill, about a good mile long i have to say. It's a speed trap. Everyone speeds down it, it's really tempting, hell im sure elderly in motorized carts would do the same!
The speed limit there is 30mph.
I get to the mouth of the hill and i say, "Man, i want to get home and eat dinner(breakfast) and pass out. Bah." So I'm going down this hill, and im doing a good 70mph, no other cars in SITE AT ALL. Im just flying down this hill with open windows, smelling the fresh morning air and what do i hear?
"WOOP WOOP"
NYPD cop hiding out on a corner...i swear i saw him but didn't think nothing of it. I was in a trance...tired, exhausted, hungry.
So he pulls me over and gives me the drill..."I COULD'VE PUT YOU IN JAIL! YOU KNOW HOW FAST WERE GOING???" yada yada...
I said, "no sir, yes sir, yes sir...all in my mind im going, "Give me the ticket man and let me go home to my steak and eggs, toast, tea, and morning news on the television.
So after a good 20 mins of BULLSHIET, i drive home, which is only 5 minutes away. I get home eat my chow and pass out.
When I wake up the that evening i realize NO!! POINTS ON MY LICENSE! BAAAAH!! So i did the most logical thing, i pleaded "NOT GUILTY."
I had at least postponed the court date twice.
But twice was enough, i was set to face the piper.
So i show up to the court to face the judge and the police officer.
I wait, nervously, look around for that cop to be hanging out stuffing dounuts in his face, lol.
So after about 30 mins of waiting, it's my turn. All through my mind i say, what a waste, i should've just pleaded guilty, and got over with it. Im such a pessimist.
SO the judge looks at me, then looks at the ticket. After mumbling to himself, he goes, "THE OFFICER IS NO LONGER A PART OF THE FORCE. CASE DISSMISSED."
:banana: :banana: :banana:
What! what!!
I leave the DMV with the biggest smirk on my face like i've eluded the crime of the century. hahaha...
So all in all, i learned my lesson. God was on my side that time.
My mother too got a ticket there before, same spot, same hill. Bah.
So please drive safe, obey the laws, luck isn't always there...
:D
