Re: No more street racing for me.
I got hit with an 86 in a 70mph zone. Some guys in a Nissan werer playing games with me and everytime I went to pass, they sped up' I backed off and then the same thing over again. The fourth time I said the hell with it and ripped on by them. Unfortuneatly a B&W State cruiser just came down the on ramp on the opposite side and I could see his eyballs flashing along with the lights. I could have lost him while he found a place to crossover but who knows what's down the road. I eased back to cc 72MPH AND SOON HE CAME UP AND PULLED ME OVER. What irritated me the most was his attitude, here's an old man in a hot car blah, blah, blah. Just stated what he was going to cite me for and no explaining. I bit my tongue and ate the ticket, but found out in Texas on the first ticket with a good driving record you could go to remedial driving course for $30 and 8 hours, take it to the justice or whatever , pay your fine and NO POINTS WERE ASSESSED. I understand this is a one slam a year so even tho you pay the fine, the insurance co isn't gonna hear about it. The town BEEP was talking about is about 20-30 miles east of SA on I 10. You can count at least half a dozen to a dozen cars from all agencies in about a 5 mile stretch. Aint worth it!!!!
