I was maybe 24 at the time and went to visit a dancer at this gentlemans club I used to frequent in the Hartford CT area. Myself and a friend of mine were driving together in my altima up I-91 from New Haven. As we are driving up maybe about 15 minutes into our drive my friend starts telling me to slow down as there are a lot of troopers in the area. I didnt listen really because I was dumb and because we were running late. The place was gonna close within an hour of us getting there.

I was cruising at maybe 70-75 in a 55mph zone and all of a sudden I see lights and hear sirens on behind me and I proceeded to get pulled over by a trooper. My friend was pissed because we had some "stuff" on us and he started getting nervous. The cop walks up to my window and just asks for my license, reg, and proof of insurance and while I hand it to him he says "dont worry guys im not gonna Jam you up im gonna be one of those cool cops, just slow it down and have a nice night". My friend was dead quiet and as soon as the cop walked away and got back in his cruiser and drove off my friend just says "you are sooooo freaking lucky idk how you do it". It was a friday night and I def had at least 2 beers. I count my blessing and only speed if im stone cold sober and take drinking and driving a lot more seriously in my 30's.

One more, I was 17 at the time and driving my riced out SE-R Spec V wannabe aka a base model sentra lol. I was cruising down 25 heading toward bridgeport from Trumbull. As I merge onto 25 (its dark and raining) I see a car just pull up behind me and I was doing 70 in a 55. All of a sudden he starts riding my ass really hard with no red and blue lights or anything and it was an unmarked car. I get nervous because well its Bridgeport CT So I speed up to 90-95ish and he continues to ride my bumper hard and finally puts on his lights and sirens. I Pull over and he comes out in his rain poncho and he says "what was that back there" I tell him "im sorry but I honestly didnt know you were law enforcemenet I thought you were just some person trying to follow me or bully me and got nervous so I began to speed" he looked at me and said "fine since you were honest with me and its raining out I will just write you a ticket for travelling to fast for weather conditions but if I really wanted to I could put you in handcuffs right now for reckless driving" and when he said that last part he could see the fear in my 17 year old face so he just smirked and just said wait right here. He came back and gave me a ticket and I was on my way.
