I skilfully turned off Pacific Highway, and peeked into Lavender street....
It was still a clear and quiet street at 8 in the morning; what better to do, than to test out the limits of the 'new hotness' (the 'new' 3 yr old hotness, the 'new' 3 yr old hotness..which belongs to my mum...(hold the applause please)) - I floored the metal with my pedal, and with ease I cleared the first set of traffic lights in spectacular timing...after my small victory dance...I heard the siren and the blue/red lights flash behind me.
shit...
Officer: "License please"
Me: I hand over my license
Officer: "Sir, you do realise this is a 60 zone right? we clocked you going at over 90km/hr. Give me one reason why I shouldn't charge you for wreckless driving....
Me: "Officer, honestly, I was just trying to be a good citizen...I saw a punk driving recklessly at a very dangerous speed, so I sped up, hoping I could convince him to slow down".
Officer: "...well, I'm sorry he got away....where are you going so fast anyway?...
Me: "work"
Officer: "and where did you come from..."
Me: "home"
Officer: "Did you have anything to drink beforehand?"
Me: "a cup of coffee..."
Officer: "Nah, I mean alcohol"
Me: "At 8 in the morning?"
Officer: "Tryin' to be cocky?"
Me: "No officer...just stating the facts"
Officer: "You know, I could charge you right now, and give you a ticket and have your license suspended...."
Me: "Are you for real?, you being serious"
Officer: "For real" (trying to imitate my blackness)
Me: "wow, its just that...its a 'new' car and everything, never mind...you wouldn't understand (trying to pull the sympathy marks)...
Officer: "Actually, I know what you mean, when I was your age...I liked to do a bit of racing myself.......(monologuing for 5 mins)...
Me: Responding every few secs, with "Yea?", 'Absolutely', 'tell me about it', 'bet you got a lot of chicks with that sorta mileage'
*5 Mins later*
Officer: "I won't write you a ticket this time, but you can't be driving that fast from now on, you're free to go now, Sir"
Me: Thank you Officer, you keep fighting the good fight man!
Now, in such situations, I know for a fact that girls get let off the hook much easier. Especially Asian girls, (you know the whole asian fever business)....they flirt for a bit, claim they 'didn't know what they were doing', throw in the 'giggle'....and wollah! Mr police officer would be all smiles! - they don't even need to undo any buttons on their shirt !! that's disgraceful! (it would be mandatory if I was the police officer!)
