consider yourself very very lucky, and drive the speedlimit from now on.

little over a year ago I was pulling out of a fast food parkinglot into a bigger parking lot in my g/f lifted jeep on my way to the main road (stip mall like complex with devided parking lots) anyway I was not very use to her jeep or cluch and dropped it a bit early and since it was late at night just after a considerable rain fall it was far slicker then it looked, anyway the back end broke lose and it spun around about 30 degress nothing major I stopped it right away and then drove off. right when I pulled onto the main road 3 cop cars jumped behind me and lit up the lights, I was pulled from the car told I was going to jail and when I asked what for they just laughed and said what do you think. they tossed me in back of the cop car cuffed and grilled me on what I was doing how much i drank etc. witch of corse I said the truth, I dont drink was was leaving after getting some food said it was an accident I spun and I was cautions and stopped the car as soon as I could etc. they just kept grilling for me to confes to something which I never did, anyway they let me go with a court date for recless driving which my lawyer for the cost of 2k dropped to neg driving of the 2nd degree and a $540 fine.

consider yourself very very lucky and learn from it. some people don't get a 2nd chance even if the was complete bs as in my case.

yeah man. its crazy how i could have easily lost everything if he had just simply changed his mind.

im never going to speed on the freeway again. i dont care if i can get there 20 minutes earlier the risk is just not worth it.

i may be stupid still, but its really weird how authority changes between countries, to provinces to even cities. Here the cops are slack and arent that rough but you better watch out for the cops in Rothesay (20 minutes away), they will pull you over if you painted your car and its not the same on the registration. But no wheres even in Northern Ontario where they pulled over a buddy of mine for speeding 30 over the speed limit (highways are 90 there and when the highway is normally posted 110 we go 120, didnt realize that it was diff), and gave them a ticket without warning, are the cops hard on you as some of the stories I have heard here. I keep telling myself I hate the sj but man the cops are so much lighter here...
