Could have been - 55 down to 30 - no flashing yellow lights as I recall - I had a guy speeding up, slowing down in a pickup truck ahead of me (obviously not on cruise control)
He had just peeled off to the East about 4-5 blocks before on a curving road - then I hit the (revenue) town.
I had the car wired for road trips, CB radio (lots of lonely streches of road there, radar detector, dash cam (close to useless, early model very small screen) and an older GPS unit on the dash. I was heading back to the house for Christmas from a lousy job in a small town but I was hoping it would work out.
Guy didn’t even give me a slight break - on Christmas Eve - no alcohol, had just left the boss’s house about an hour earlier (after work). If I had only waited 30 seconds longer.
OR taken my original route heading East about 30-40 miles - missed my turn oops and didn’t head back that way. I was convinced this was a quicker route. Boy was I wrong that day.
I’m on I-95 in NJ, sped through a construction zone, don’t have my insurance card. Cop gives me a break, only writes me up for the insurance, no points. My lucky day.
A little while later, I’m in an unfamiliar town, come to a funky 5 sided intersection. The car in front and I both get pulled over for running a red light. It was not my lucky day.
