Let me tell you the whole story. As I was leaving the gas station yesterday I half way looked and pulled out in front of someone, not like right in front of them but enough to where I thought I had enough time to go and speed off and go on my way. Well this car was coming mighty fast and caught up to me quick, got all the way up to 70 which is 15 over the speed limit. We went that fast for about 20 seconds and I thought damn this guy was in a hurry. As we caught up to the cars in front of us I turned left at the red light and this guy followed me, again right up my ass. Well the car in front of me turned the same way I was going so there wasn't anywhere I could go. We went 55 mainly the whole way down this road. At the end of the road the car ahead of me was one of those cars that's super hesitant to go into traffic so finally when this girl went, I went right behind her (not really stopping at this stop sign) as I turned the car who was super close behind me turned as well. I remember thinking this guy still is mad I cut him off. As we turn onto a road with a bunch of hills I just set my cruise control and followed the slow car in front of me. Well I knew I was eventually going to pass this care if I had the opportunity. In the mean time I did a stop and go and the next stop sign. (If there's no one at a stop sign I will admit I don't stop the whole 5 seconds I break look real quick and go) ok so if your still with my story this far here's where it gets better. So after a few miles of following this slow car not riding his tail but being about two car lengths behind. I see an opportunity to pass. Well as soon as I do the freaking deusch bag behind me flips on his lights and pulls me over!!!!! So this jerk that has been basically riding my ass the whole time was an undercover cop. This nice gentleman was nice enough to write me two tickets! One for careless driving. With the description that I crossed middle lane several times and following too closely. He also wrote me one for illegal passing.
When he got to my window he didn't say anything about the speeding he just mentioned that I blew past all the stop signs, and was one of the worst drivers he'd ever seen. He said I showed some pretty terrible driving and he was going to put a stop to it...
So when he came back to the window he didn't explain what anything was and handed me the two tickets, told me my court day and told me to slow down.
But I wasn't driving like a mad man like his description on my careless driving ticket states. I maybe crossed the middle lane ONCE which was to make sure I there wasn't a car coming to safely pass. I wasn't in anyway riding the guy in front of me bumper and the cop sure wasn't off of mine. Not too mention he waited 20 minutes until he could rack up as many violations as possible. Well if he hadn't of ridden my ass at the beginning I wouldn't of sped up. I will admit I am not the best at stop signs, but these are back roads and not many people use them. I'm not going to be stupid about it but I just thought it was pretty harsh he followed me for so long to right me some pretty strong tickets. And today when I go back home I'm going to double check where I passed this car because I almost positive it was def just a dashed single line.
I am PISSED! I know I shouldn't of been in that big of a hurry but all I did was drive the speed limit and stop and go at two stop signs. I don't know what I'm gonna do because I certainly can't tell my fiancé just yet he is going to be soo mad at me. Specially since we share insurance. If I could have just left my house 2 seconds earlier
