I got lucky a few years ago. I decided it would be a good idea to skin it back in the C5 I had at the time on an on ramp to the interstate. Just crossed triple digits when I see a guy stand up next to a car on the side of the interstate. Yup, a state boy. When I saw him stand up beside his car, I mashed the brakes so hard it's a wonder the air bags didn't go off. I just went ahead and pulled over, since there was NO doubt who he was after. He told me the first time he clocked me, I was doing 103, and the second time 83. So, like here, I told him that as soon as I saw him, I mashed the brakes as hard as I could. He literally busted out laughing. I did get a ticket for a non moving violation, and am grateful for it. He could have hauled my ass straight to jail. It was on Christmas eve too, and I knew things were not going to go well for me at home. I was already mentally prepared for the worst.

Something like that happened to me a long time ago. I'm cruising along at night, very light highway traffic out in BFE, Louisiana, radar detector just starts freaking out. I slow down, and saw the car hiding under the bridge. I was pulled over before he even got on the road with his lights. He made sure I wasn't drinking and let me go. There were no exits for miles, so there would have been no place to get away, even if I wanted to.

Seventeen. I was very reckless (and lucky) when I was young. Mostly speeding (78 in 55, 54 in 35, 45 in 30 (actually faster but he was cool), 84 in 65, 81 in 65, 55 in 40, 48 in 30, 87 in 55), stop sign, a few registration (always dropped), no proof of insurance (dropped), failure to yield, one DWI (1991, going through my first divorce) and finally "Vehicle was engaged in a contest of speed (136 mph in 45 mph speed zone)).

I did also manage to talk my way out of a few also. The four speeding and the stop sign were all in the same car and while young and stupid (1976 Camaro Rally Sport at 18/19 in 79/80).

A couple of times I came within a couple of points of losing my license, and it was suspended for a year with the DWI.

I have been involved in five accidents of which only one was my fault (fell asleep and crashed a '79 Monza). Oddly enough three times were in the same Camaro mentioned above.

I believe it was cursed.
