Got A Horseshoe Up My Butt For Sure!

Tonight was driving home from work on one of our Canadian highways....posted speed limit was 100 km. Late at night and very few cars in sight so merged onto a section of the highway where there were alot of twisties and wanted to clean the carbon out (Redline Rule) taking them at 130, 140 kms. Hit the straights and realized I was up to 165km so I backed off and low and behold an officer of the law was on my *** lights on and siren blarring! I've been pulled over before with the cruisers lights but never with siren blarring so immediately I know he is PISSED and I am F@!*ed. Pulled over shut her off and watched him as he approached. Before I could get a word in edge wise he's yelling at me " I DONT KNOW WEATHER I SHOULD ARREST YOU...... CHARGE YOU WITH RECKLESS DRIVING........ OR CALL THE FLATBED AND IMPOND YOUR CAR! LISCENSE,INSURANCE, AND REGESTRATION! He then goes back to his cruiser without the info he's requested and I still have not been able to say a word to him so that sinking feeling in my gut is worse. He returns but this time on the passenger side and knocks on my window with flashlight.............roll window down and figure nothing I say is going to get out of this one...............he says " I tagged you just after you merged at 120 then 135 and could'nt keep up with you on the turns finally got you at 165 nice enough car to do it in" I figure with the compliment he could'nt be all that pissed that's when I got a brainstorm and was going to some how try to lie a little. Told him the reason I was speeding, I was rushing home because my mom is a diabetic (which she is) and she was having an insullin reaction and I just wanted to be there for her. He calls my bluff and says "well then should we call an ambulance for her"............"That's not nessesary officer she does have them frequent but I just want to make sure I am there so she does'nt fall into shock" I know what your saying what a lame excuse and I'm sure he's heard that one before. What makes it so much more beleivable, and I could not beleive the timming and my luck for that matter........... my cell rings and I ask him pollitely if I could take it for it may be her. Well...........it was not her but a buddy of mine and before he could say anything, I respond yes mom it won't be much longer I'm almost home..............the officer over hears the short conversation, on the other hand I hear my buddy saying "MOM ARE YOU HIGH OR SOMETHING?............click I hang up. Well he makes another trip back to the cruiser, this time with all my info and he is chatting with dispatch. So I'm thinking when he returns is there something else I can add to somehow just get a speeding infraction out of this. I was going to argue you've seen my driving record which is spottless I may add..........never a speeding ticket in four years of owning the car which is the hardcore truth, I rarely do speed ,only when implementing the redline rule. He returns again and before I could get out the first syllable of my speech ....... he says "letting you off with a warning go home and take care of your mom" . Holy **** !............did I hear him corectly it felt very surreal and I thought this could not be right. Not a hefty fine, no lost points, no licsense taken away NOTHING! I still can't beleive it, 65 km's over the posted speed limit and off with a warning..............how lucky is that? Now I got some explanning to do to my buddy!

i'm all for lying to the cops to avoid a ticket, but, dude, i think you should be ashamed of yourself.
