Re: [Chevelle-List] Driving/Car Saftey

Funny how that works... I was a pretty good driver except for my street racing at a local underground spot and an occasionally high speed blast at dawn in the middle of nowhere. Well that got me nailed when I got clocked at an almost unreal 132 mph in my old 70 Z28. I was very lucky I only got nailed with every charge in the book and was thrown around like a rag doll and slammed into the back of the squad car. I then was chewed out... left to sweat it out until finally he let me go only because I stopped and he was not about to call a chopper to pursue me. I was lucky it was a small town cop in ND. I thought for sure I was going to jail.   Overall the experience cost me all my points in the state of North Dakota but one (so any violation would of cost me my license), about $1800 in fines, class charges, etc., 100 hundred hours of community service, and one pair of $5.99 boxer shorts.   Mikey   ----- Original Message ----- From: JDHall Sent: Wednesday, July 17, 2002 8:25 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [Chevelle-List] Driving/Car Saftey   "so i bet when you were 16 - you thought it was a privalige to drive...yea right." I did! Once the Judge at traffic court informed me that it was! 8). 8 points in 6 months. My 69SS was defiantly a ticket magnet back then. It took years to get off the high risk category from that time. There was a MD State boy the made me his life work during that time. I wonder if he's retired yet? He was always  very pleasant when he would write me up one.  Maybe Ill pay him a visit once I get the ol girl restored. Just for kicks <G> after 19 years I still remember his full name LOL Seriously, You realize how much a privilege it is when you come that close to loosing it. Or loose a few friends in highschool as I did. They though it was there right to drive and they did. Stupidly. JDHall
