While driving to work, I got stopped for doing 48MPH in a 40MPH zone on his radar. The motorcycle cop mentioned that I increased my speed to 52MPH when he pulled out to catch me.

Which reminds me of what I learned from my days of motorcycling where the speedo is usually 10% too fast on import bikes... and he was riding a BMW. Anyway, I didn't mention that to him.

So, I hands him my CHL and DL together eventhough I wasn't carrying. I told him that I wasn't carrying while handing him the licenses. He sees the CHL and asked "Do you have your piece on you?" (This is the first time I've heard in person using the word "piece". BTW, this is after I had already told him that I didn't.) Anyway, I remained in my car the whole time.

So now, I've finally broken my 14 year run of no speed tickets and will be looking for an online defensive driving class. Although I wasn't sure if I was speeding this time (I'm almost certain I was doing 45MPH, but I guess 48MPH may be a possibility at when he radared me), this ticket helps in bringing me back to driving within the speed limits again.

Anyway, this is my first encounter and my CHL didn't get me out of the ticket :) Maybe if I had my "piece" with me... hmmm.
