I may or may not have evaded a speeding ticket yesterday by outrunning a cop.  I'm not completely sure.  I was on a road where the speed limit was 35mph.  I was on a downward-sloped section, so I was momentarily going 45mph.  That's when I saw the cop.  And that's when I noticed I was going 45 in a 35.  And that's when my heart started being faster.  I looked in my rearview and noticed the cop's brake lights go on.  I thought, "Great.  I can't deal with another speeding ticket."  So I sped up a little bit, went around a bend and up a little hill, and made a quick little right turn down a residential road.  I made a few more little turns like this so the cop (if he was following me) wouldn't see me as he drove by.  I drove to a dead end and sat there for a few minutes as my blood pressure and heart rate stabilized.  After a little while, I drove away and continued on my way home. 

I'm not completely sure if the cop even followed me.  I just made sure I got out of there and onto some side roads.  I guess I just didn't feel like I deserved a speeding ticket for a problem that was caused by gravity.  Call it blame-shifting, but that gravity thing is a big problem.
