37156, RE: got a speeding ticket

The funniest one I saw was these two girls, yakking away with each other. The driver never looked in her mirror, and hardly ever out the windshield. They were behind me when I saw the CHP well behind. I slowed a little and moved to the right lane while the girls stayed in the left.

If you don't know, what the CHP do to "warn" you is get right on your ass and stay there - no lights, just letting you know they're there. Back when they had those 440 Chryslers with those huge push-bars on the front, it was a pretty intimidating site :)

So I'm watching the CHP, and the girls, wondering what's going to happen. They're right next to me. He gets on their butt, no light, and I swear he sat there for about two miles. They never looked back in all that time. You could see the poor cop's exasperation when he finally pulled them over. Not because they were speeding, but because they were speeding, and so utterly clueless that they didn't notice this thoroughly intimidating presence literally filling their mirrors for so long it was just silly.
