So maybe a mid-life crisis or just plain stupidity. I would drive to Wendover,NV to play cards from SLC pretty frequently. I had a newer Lexus sedan and I’m ridiculously anal about maintenance.
I would set the cruise control at 126mph on the way back. Got pulled over the first time after seeing the flashing lights maybe 1 mile or 2 behind me. Knew he was after me since I was only person on the road at that time of night. West desert of Utah is a desolate place. He could have taken me to jail but instead gave me a ticket that required an appearance in court. Judge asked how long it had been since I got a ticket, it was at least a couple decades. Let me off with fine and no points. It was a 1400 dollar fine though.
Didn’t go so well a few weeks later. Same cop, same situation. Went to jail, saw the same judge fi e and points. Impound fee paid too. I did learn my lesson from the second experience.
The cop on the way to the Toole police station told me the Bonneville Salt Flsts were right next to the freeway and I should go there to get my yee haws out.
Didn’t end up getting an increase on my insurance as my insurance agent still had my drivers license from a different state.
In a way he probably thought you were mocking him by doing that just a few weeks later in the same area...you were kind of on probation with him.
