Audi Lightning Bolt and the Cops

So this is pretty damm funny.
On Sunday, i get the flashing lights on the AC xpressway.
I know I am guilty of something, because I stupidly answered the phone on the seat, just as I approached the cop....I was doing 85 after slowing a bit, but so was he, and most of traffic.
I am not about to stop on this not -an -auto Strada, because there is no shoulder.
I’m not sure what he expected, or I did I care.
I just let him know I saw him, and I drove another 1/2 mile to an exit, and another 1/4 mile until I found a pull off spot.
He followed along...

I confessed immediately to picking up the phone, and he informed me that approaching him at 90 plus was the problem.
I suggested that I was following his pace.85
He told me I overtook him at a much higher speed...90 plus in a 65
I told him that I could not argue with that, either.


As far as cops go, he was cool.
The only odd thing was his first question..is this car new ?
I just shrugged and said, not really, it’s an ‘2012.
He looked at dash, and said...looks new...and he asked for the registration.
There are plenty of small chips on the back, and old decals on the window. ..not new

I thought it was a trick cop question, while I sat there as he was writing me up.

I got a $55.00 no points ticket, thanked the cop, and he thanked me for driving to a safe spot.
I wondered why anyone would risk their safety and stop on demand , but I didn’t!to say it. I should have.
It was the next day when I walked around back saw the car, and realized he was watching my rear as he followed , and spent his life looking at the ass end of cars. ..and thought if he had not seen it, it was something new.
Laughed my ass off when I got it.
