Silver Ninety Three |

Well I was driving last night and going kind of fast. I was in a rush and had to take care of some stuff. Some black honda civic was pacing me and kept, speeding up, passing me and then slowing down. I was doing 90+ when I heard my V1 go off. I was by an airport where the V1 always goes off, so I only slowed down a little. It kept going off and then started showing behind me. Sometimes I come across cars that have old ass radars that tend to set the V1 off, so I thought it might be that. I couldn't see any cops or anything. I figured out that whatever was tripping the V1 was behind me and moving. I speed up to about 100 and am still not loosing it. There was a decent amount of large trucks on the road so I kept weaving around them. I figured if it was a cop, he was way back and I wasn't going to wait for him. Soon after I saw some red flashing lights a few miles back. I coudln't find any good exits, so I pulled intot he bext rest area. I went to flip off the lights but saw that the cop was already pulling in. I quickly turned the lights back on because I knew he caught me. I was sraight up with him. Told him I knew I was going fast because I had something important to take care of. He said he clocked me going 92 in a 65 and saw me overtake 13 cars. I also told him about the honda that was bothering me. He originally thought it was one of my friends who called me and told me to exit. I said that I didn't know the guy and was trying to get away from him because of the way he was driving. He asked if I had a blackout switch for my tailights. I said no, I went to signal when I saw him comming, and showed him how the turn signal is on the same stalk as the headlight switch. He seamed to buy it. I also showed him my state trooper card. So he goes back to his cruiser and comes back awhile later. Gave me a ticket for 92 in a 65, one for expired registration, and also improper passing. He said that those could add up to a class B misdemeanor, which means I could have gone to jail for the night. I thanked him for letting it go at that. I know I was wrong and guess I'll just pay the fines, but would like to get the points taken off. I plan to go to court. Anyone got advice?
