I have this “friend” who was diving out to visit a buddy of his out by Palm Desert and he was driving a bit fast. By fast I mean 102mph and unfortunately…he was caught. My “friend” told me that the cops actually pulled a traffic break to stop him…which seemed a bit extreme to me…but w/e I guess they were bored. So as he’s pulling over…the cop says tells him to pull over and get out of the car. At this point in time he’s thinking oh shit…I’m going to jail but as he opens his door the cop kicks his door back closed. The cop proceeds to ask him if he knows how many people he just killed. He says no with a very confused look on his face. The cop (let’s call him… Clancy) says you just killed an entire family! Again…with a very confused look on his face my “friend” says huh? Clancy says that if he had hit a van with a family inside he would have killed them. My “friend” thought no…I would have gone around them…he SAID oh. Clancy also informs him that he is doing my “friend” a favor by NOT arresting him for going 102mph. My “friend” thanks him. After a short time Clancy gives my “friend” his ticket and sends him on his merry way.
A month later my “friend” finds out that the ticket is going to cost him $1,000 dollars and he cannot handle this over the phone…he will have to drive his ass back out to Palm Desert to appear at an arraignment. Fun times.  Once he arrives at the court room he is given instructions…what to expect…what to do…what not to do…(this is given to a group of about 50 people)…all in all the court spent about an hour explaning the rules. The actual time it took to sentence my “friend”? About 30 seconds. So anyway…my friend pays his fine and SLOWLY drives back home. (kind of an anticlamatic ending huh?)
What’s the lesson here boys and girls? Don’t drove 102…drive 99 =)
