I was on a cross country trip with a friend (he was driving this leg) heading from Seatle to Chicago. We had just crossed over the mountains to find wide open space and long straight roads. My friend floors the gas of the Ford Taurus. We spend the next half hour with the needle between N and D (the speedometer only goes to 85mph). We were passing mile marker signs every 30 seconds, so we were doing about 120 mph.
Way up in the distance we see 4 or 5 cop cars with lights on, so obviously we slow down. I look out the side window and see a helicopter- not good. The cops flag us over.
The cop asks were we are heading and we explain that we just graduated college and are heading into the army- me Field Artillery, my friend a helicopter pilot. The cop sends the other cars away and the helicopter. BS for 10 minutes he says he will waive the mandatory court date since we will be at Officer Basic Training, and the wreckless driving ticket. However, since the helicopter was involved he had to give us the speeding ticket. He dropped it to 90 mph.
Right before he left, he said there were no more cops for the next 60 miles.
