Ever been pulled over for racing?

You want a 'Caught Racing' story? Sure.

I was nabbed dragging a Firebird out on the infamous Berlin Turnpike at 1:00 am, some years back. The arresting cop had no sense of humor at all. I was ticketed for speeding (85 in a 50) and Reckless Driving.
My car was towed and impounded and I had to pay a $100. bail to go home, but at least I wasn't made to wait in a jail cell.
Woke up my wife who had to drive 30 miles at 2:00 am to pick me up with our toddler in tow. Fun.

Next day, I had to pay $60. for the tow and storage to the garage, but the car was O.K.
In court, I was my own lawyer and got the Reckless Driving charged kicked, but pled guilty to the speeding ticket and paid a $250. fine. No suspension. Total cost was $310. (and a annoyed but sympathetic spouse - she knew I went out to race).

If anyone gets caught racing and the cop let's you go, be very thankful. It's rare.
