So I want to be a race car
driver. Trying to get more experience in the field, I was driving 70ish
down Oakville today heading out for lunch. Passed some old people doing
54 and got pulled over. The cop was nice and all, he asked me if I was
heading somewhere in a hurry for a point. I could have lied and said that
the day car provider had just called me at work and my child had fallen
down the stairs and cracked her head open, but I told the truth. “Uh, I
was passing those people who were going slow”. “I saw that” he said, “But
you didn’t try to slow down after you passed them”. Now here is another
spot that I could have argued, but didn’t feel the need to get a "harassing
the officer" ticket too. I just HATE it when people pass you –for heavens
sake, it is a free country, pass any damn one that you want! Just don’t
be a jackass about it!- and then slam on their breaks. That is just about
the most annoying (not to mention pointless) thing that someone can do
behind the wheel. But that is not the point. There needs to be a road somewhere
near here that has no speed limit. Like over in Montana or wherever they
did that “no limits” rule. All I am asking for is one road. I know that
my Vitara isn’t a record breaker for speed, but sometimes I just feel the
need to go 95. So I owe the state another $109. I wish I could put all
of my ticket money into a retirement fund or some sort of race-car-wanna-be-charity
fund. That would be cool. Very cool. So for all of you wanna-be-race-car-drivers,
watch out for that cop on Oakville (he had another poor soul pulled over
on the way back from lunch). -J
