A month or so back I was heading back to Oregon from BC on I-5S and was in the 7th inning stretch listening to a good podcast.
Next thing I know, a WA trooper is on my tail and I proceed to drive under the speed limit. He hits the light and I pull over around exit 42 and he asks me how fast I was going. I thought I was close to 70ish but my speedometer is in KM and without my reading glasses I was just guessing. Well, I must have hit the 83MPH he clocked me from the overpass as I switched into the middle lane. He was a nice enough guy, very professional and I could tell he was getting a little impatient as I was trying to figure out which insurance/registration form was current (again, I didn't have my reading glasses on).
The officier takes my license/registration to his car to look me up and I start laughing as I haven't been pulled over in almost 20 years and I like the fact that I stopped at exit 42 as it reminded me of Douglas Adams.
Anyway, a couple minutes pass and he lets me go with a warning. Sure, you could say I only think he was a good cop because he let me go with a warning, and I would agree, but I still appreciate that being only the 2nd time I have ever got out of a ticket.
