So I'm heading home from hanging out with my buddy and I'm on an empty highway. I live kinda far from the main city, so it's a good 10 miles and the speed limit is 55. I'm cruising at about 80 or so, and after I pass a couple cars and no longer see them I decide to try out my 370Z's 4th gear acceleration. I floor it and enjoy the feeling of being pressed in my seat and don't notice that I'm already going 110. In my rearview mirror I see headlights, they look like a truck because they're too high for a car. The headlights are getting closer... I figure wow, this guy is really in a hurry somewhere... So I slow back down to 80 and change lanes to let the guy pass me. As the truck passes me see that it's a cop. He blows by me at about 120 or so. My first reaction is OMFG - the cop just passed me while I was going 25 over! He also most likely witnessed me doubling the speed limit as well!

At this point my exit is coming up and I see the cop is getting off on it. I had the urge to just keep going, pass my exit and come back but I was feeling tired and wanted to get home so I followed the cop. At the end of the off-ramp the cop stops and turns his lights on. I begin mentally cussing myself out for not listening to my inner voice. I pull up behind the cop and watch him get out and approach my car. I ask him how he's doing and in response he says, I'm on a domestic violence call, what's your excuse? I reply that I'm going home. He then asks me, would you please slow down? I assure him that I will, thank him, wish him a good night and he leaves to get back to his duty.

I have to say that was probably the best experience I've ever had with a cop and I wish you all the same should you ever get caught for doing something stupid.
