The Early Morning Dew Effect: Overtaking Cops
I woke up this morning feeling quite icky. My sleep is messed up as usual. So I got up, did the morning rituals and went on to heat up water for the coffee. But then I saw the green can. THE Green Can…hmm, that’d wake me up.
Guzzled the Mountain Dew and took off for work. There’s a stretch of highway where it was so empty I got suddenly got the devil riding shotgun tempted. So the needle on my speedometer went a little over this:
Then I suddenly saw IT as I overtook an 18 wheeler truck. The police car was driving alongside the truck and I didn’t notice it at all until I glanced into my rear view, I had my eye on the speedometer and it was at 210kph (130mph) when I overtook the cop. Reflexively I decelerated without using the brakes (ingrained instincts when avoiding cops for years, NEVER stomp on the brakes when you see one..then you’re guilty as sin!).
The cop didn’t even go after me, I decelerated to the speed in above picture and he’s still idling along! WTF?!
Shows how much the police really care about the traffic in this country. Lax policemen = anarchy on the highways.
The only time they care is when their in the mood to take out their anger and frustrations of life on someone else. Thats the main issue I have with cops in Kuwait. They dont fine you cause its their job to do so, they do it with the intention to harass you, and to demonstrate their power.
Give em a call when you need help, they will show 2 hours late… if at all. Say a brutal street fight at your local supermarket late at night (only 2 mins away walking distance from the Police Station). “Umm sir, could you step outside and walk over there to check that theres really a fight going on?” me: “Hmm I can hear the screaming from here, and no Im not going to walk over there to confirm it”
Have a hot chick call their hotline and let here complain about some idiot chasing her, 7 patrol cars scramble to rescue the damsel in distress.
Hehe mini?
210??!!!!
No! No! You would drink Red Bull instead of coffee??? No! No!
BTW, you must have an angel watching over your shoulder who protected you from the policeman, made him look the other way, made him oblivious. You got lucky.
kismat: I couldn’t have said it any better, hats off to you!
Sunshine: Yep, my baby
E.E.E.: It wasn’t me! It was the devil!
intlxpatr: I won’t generalize but there are GREAT cops out there, I must admit. But seriously, you won’t notice/hear a car roaring past at that speed down the center lane? Wasn’t the first time either, I blew the doors off another cop a couple of years back doing 230kph in another vehicle, no reaction whatsoever. Read kismat’s comment, that’s the ugly truth.
