Lucky…
Ooh, and I forgot to write…
On my way home from my usual Tuesday night activites (wings at Shooter McGee’s) , I was cruising home…headed down the Dulles Toll Road and suddenly saw a cop. I knew I was toast instantly. I’m not sure how fast I was actually going, but I was definitely speeding. He pulled me over and said he had clocked me doing 78. He did the usual "Do you know why I pulled you over?" And I said, "Probably for speeding…" He disappeared for about 4 minutes while running my registration and license. I thought for sure as this was VA State Police that I was going to end up with a very expensive ticket. He returned, handed me back my license and vehicle registration and said that he was going to let me go with a warning and to be careful pulling back out on the roadway. I said thank you and wished him a safe night….and proceeded home. Man, it was hard to stay at the speed limit after that, and I don’t think I’ve ever driven that slow on the Toll road when not sitting in traffic. Phew.
