I was heading home from speedway one night about 2am. I crew for a mate and so usually end up in the clubrooms after to have a beer, steak sandwich, talk shit with all the other speedway munters etc
anyway, its a 1 hour drive to where i used to live out in the back blocks, so the roads are empty and i usually sat on around 100mph. I came round this blind corner at a serious speed and a copper went past the other way. I just caught a glimpse of his lights coming on as he dissapeared around the corner. I slammed on the brakes and did a u-turn and went the other way. As i came up to the corner, the copper went past the other way and i thought i was safe.
I kept driving and turned down a road about 1km later which loops back onto the main road about 5km past the corner. I was hammering it round the back road because its gravel and i know it well. I rounded the last corner sideways and slid up to the intersection,(still sideways) And there was the bloody cop sitting on his car waiting for me.
So picture me stopped parallel to the main road, stopped, this huge cloud of dust floating past and as it cleared, there was the cop right in my headlights.
He came up to me and his words were:
Not a bad time mate.
Me:ahhh...... what do you mean?
him:I saw you going the other way, and have been waiting here for you to come past. Any particular reason for your speed around hill road?
Me: i wasn't speeding. Look at this car, its old and pretty slow.
him: i have been sitting here for 5 minutes and have been able to hear you for at least 2 mintues and by the sounds of it you were giving it death.
Me: Na, i think i have a bit of a hole in the muffler so it sounds loud.
He
laughed and asked to see my licence. I figured i was fucked, but he just chuckled, handed it back to me and said:
you might want to slow down a bit eh boy.
He got back in his car and drove off.
A week later my old man said he was talking to his mate at the pub. Turns out it was the cop and he new the car when my old man used to drive it. (he's a bandit like me
)
Moral of the story: Move to south taranaki NZ
