yup
I was driving down Vienna road for about 3 or 4 miles behind the same person. He was doing between 45 and 50 in a 55 (but in the worst way, he would speed up to 50 and about the time I got up to 50 he would slow back down to 45) So I kept trying to look for a break in traffic so I could zip past him. I finally found it and punched it to the floor from about two carlengths behind him and let off when I got to his door and coasted (too fast btw) around and got back in my lane. Problem was, there was a state cop driving towards me. Tagged. Nothing I could do, I saw him pull over on the side of the road and I knew I was done. By the time I got past him and looked in my rearview mirror he had already turned around and was behind the car I had passed. So at that point I just put on my blinker and pulled over. No point in continuing. I know at this point the people I passed were probably laughing their asses of. Me on the other hand was pretty nervous. I put on the hazards as he pulled over and flipped on his lights. He came up and asked me for registration proof of insurance and my license. I started to dig through my glovebox to try and find my insurance, but my mom had just switched companies a few months back and never gave me proof of insurance. Now in Michigan we have some awesome laws for insurance. They give you $140 non refundable (even if you find it later) ticket, and everytime you renew your plates for two years they charge you another fee (75 or 150 cant remember which)
So now I'm sweating pretty good. He asked me if I knew why he pulled me over. I said yes sir, I passed that car back there and I figure you tagged me speeding. He says yup I got you at 72mph. (Oh sh!t was all I could think cuz I had no idea how fast I was going) So then he took my license and registration back to his car for awhile and came back up in about 3 minutes (very fast) and said I'm going to let you off with a warning, but slow down Leslie.
I said yes sir thank you very much.
When he walked back to his car I looked over at my cousin and said I love him :D

I was so thankful at that point. But I think I went 5 under the speed limit the rest of the day.
Later there was a blazer driving down Vienna road going about 45 and speeding up to 50 and letting off back to 45 again. Know what I did? I kept a safe following distance and did 45 to 50 the whole way home [img]graemlins/rock.gif[/img]
