Robbie: Many of us have gone over the speed limit on occasion but to state it the way you did was asking for trouble. Before dealing with Law School I was making some good dough and traded my SL500 for a new SL600 Bi-Turbo....this thing was pushing 500hp and was stable as a rock at high speeds....one night after working really late (2 am) I decided I would push it a bit for the first time on Freeway 91 in So Cal...it was completely empty for literally miles ahead of me....I had never done this before and had the itch to see what it was like...in a few SECONDS I was at 130 and was then clocked by a patrol officer with his lights off. I had a perfect record...not one ticket in my 8-9 years as a driver (I was 24). The guy and I talked for about 30 minutes about what he should do....basically he could have locked me up and impounded the car. I'll never forget that conversation and I never drove in excess like that again to this day...he let me off with a warning and I didnt need to pay any ticket to learn that what I had done not only put his life in danger but my own as well. I have nothing but respect for most members of the PD and HP not because I got out of a ticket but because I realize that theyre performing a tough job which is a necessity in order to keep people within this society safe.
I think Robbie is a member who contributes quite a bit and hate to see such a mess arise...some members arent just angered by his actions but are also put off by his tone and attitude....he made a mistake by posting this and I think he knows that so lets just let it rest.
