Had a friend, bran new fast car. Coming back to Tucson from SD, there's a nice flat stretch of desert. So he's tooling down the highway, and notices there's a cop car behind him, lights going. Looks down - doing an excessive rate of speed, 90 plus. "oops" and pulls over. He's all apologetic, road hypnosis, hadn't realized how fast he'd speeded up, and blah, blah. Cop tells him that if he hadn't slowed down, he would not have caught up to him. Said he'd been clocked at around 140 earlier, "way out in front". Ooops. Let him go with a warning, as I recall. Dang, I can remember his face (big hair and mustache - it was
1974) but not his name.
