I took my 70 out yesterday. It was 71 degrees F and very cloudy/dark the radar showed 0% chance of rain, it was an ominous if not gloomy looking day. I was alone as usual and drove around my block then down the road. I live in the 'country' wide open spaces. As I approached a newer Buick driven apparently by an elderly person doing 25 in a 45 MPH zone, I eagerly passed her and saw another vehicle much further ahead. A State Trooper was going the opposite way and as we passed he hit his lights and did a U-turn with lights blaring and coming fast on my ass. I didnt have my liscense, damn I forgot it! I was just starting to pull over when he passed me pulling over an old truck that was farther up ahead of me. Whew! I passed that old lady going at least 85! I thought I was dead Meat. With No liscense and reckless driving it could have been tow hook time! I was very Lucky! The police are on a seat belt crusade. They make 65 bucks with each ticket!
