Just wondering. I haven't yet but I've had 3 close calls in the almost 4 months I've been driving mine.
First- 61 in a 50 Got off with a warning (local cop)
Second- 61 in a 45 Once again, off with a warning (Airport cop). This one was kind of bullshit though because the cop was traveling the opposite direction and then did a turn around and began following me. He didn't actually have me on radar but said he paced me.
As soon as I saw him I looked at my speed an it was about 55. By the time he had done his U-turn I had slowed down to 45 and being aware he was behind me, I kept it between 45 and 48. I actually think he was just trying to check out my car because he took his flashlight and walked around it a couple of times just looking at it.
Third- This morning, on the way home from work, I was behind a Civic doing 45 in a 55. So, first oppurtunity I got, I downshifted to 3rd and blazed past him doing about 63. Anyhow, I see a set of headlights gaining on me quickly. It was a truck so I thought, WTF? He pulled up behind me and flashed his brights. At the next light he pulled up next to me and it was a DPS officer in an F-150.
I looked over at him and he was giving me this mean ass look. So I rolled down my window and he did the same. I said, "Yes sir?" And then he yelled at me, "SLOW IT DOWN!!!" I then replied with a humble, "yes sir" once again and rolled my window back up. I felt like a 4 year old getting scolded for getting into the cookie jar right before dinner. He was in front of me the last 4 miles or so to my subdivision turn off so I made sure I was driving like Miss Daisy was in the back seat.
