:mad: I was going about 90 mph in a 55 highway. The cop was in front of me also going 90...then I switched to the right lane (to take an exit), and he came in the right lane ahead of me, and then pulled me over for 2 things: 1) Reckless driving, 2) Following an emergency vehicle. Luckily, seeing as how it's my first ticket, and my parents were in the car (And I had a reason for "following" the vehicle), he made it 1 not following a road sign ticket for $30. :D:D. Never speeding again..

He switched lanes when I had to take the exit, so I had to switch lanes too.




Yeah, okay. Maybe a teeny bit. :p. Not really though.

What about all that time behind him at 90? I feel like that's more his issue. I'm all for matching the way the rest of traffic is going, but staying with a Poilce Car at 90 just doesn't seem sensible... drop back to 55 and let him carry on until he's out of sight.

Yeah, I know. I was at fault. But see, most of the other cars seeing him pushed the limit up to about 70ish. We peaked at 90, weren't cruising. I still take the blame, and I got lucky it was only a $30 ticket.

Yeah, it's a good thing he used his discretion otherwise it would've been a much more expensive purchase :) Do you get penalty points for traffic offenses there?

Yeah, we do. I don't think this type of ticket gets me any demerit points (Not sure), but it does go and raise my insurance I think.
He wasn't parked on the shoulder/hiding out to try to give out tickets, so he was more lenient on that regard (I'm sure he was just going from point A -> B).

True, true.


With that being said, I was shaking when he pulled me over. My dad did most of the talking though (From the passenger side, leaning over to the driver side). I'm more in-my-nerves now after some sleep. First ticket, lesson learned.

$100. I was going to purchase the regular 1TB, but on their site it said $70, but it ranged up $100 as well, so I figured why not get the 2TB at the same price?

It had the red "As advertised" card on it, while the normal edition didnt.

4 years is long enough for most hard drives. I have a couple of Seagates that died on me for less than 2 years.
