Well, Im gunna be late more often
I had dropped off my wheel's at Ian's shop, and was heading home. I forgot which road took me back to Hamilton St that will take me through Rutgers. So I took this one road, but it was the wrong one...well, I gunned it over this bridge, and realize that I was going really fast, so I slammed on my brakes, and tried ot find a place to spin around and head back the other direction....
Well, as I did that, I looked behind me, and a cop was flying up full speed behind me. I didnt know what was going on, so I went onto a side street to turn around, and the cop followed me into the turn.
Pulled me over, got me doing 62 in a 35.... Now I dont think I was doing 62 as when I was going over this near verticle bridge, I remember looking down and realizing i was doing 50-55 over the peak of the bridge, and slammed on the brakes. But, he gave me a ticket, and I assume that this is going to cost me a lot to possibly get it reduced, or cost me in insurance.
I always liked to drive fast wherever I go because I hate wasting time. But that has got to change. Just figured Id give everyone a heads up, and Im gunna have to leave earlier to get to places now.

Get your ass to court & plead down or you can kiss your classic car insurance goodbye for the next 4-5 years.

I had my radar detector on, but I think he zapped me as I flew past him, not coming up too him. And I already am SOL on classic insurance till that Careless goes away.

Did he actually give you the ticket for 62 in a 35, or did he lower it a bit for ya?

Sorry to hear it man. Cop was only doing his job.
To get back to Hamilton Street which takes you to Rutgers in NB, from Ian's shop, you just go north on Route 206 to Route 514. Hang a right (going east) and keep going til you hit Rutgers. Route 514 = Hamilton, but doesnt say Hamilton until you are in NB.
For future reference.

Yes the cop did give me a 62 in a 35, and yes he is doing his job, Im not knocking that. I just dont think I was doing 62. I was speeding over the limit, but 62 is fast for that little one lane road.
As for directions...the cop gave them to me after he handed me the ticket. I didnt know that Hamilton St = 514.
