I had to drive down to Rosebud this morning for a few things - about 10 mins on the freeway.
On the way back, I was in the left hand lane doing 101km/h - digital speedo.
A guy in a Commodore gradually came up on my right side, eased past me, and when he got just past me he planted the foot quite a bit and accelerated away. I'm guessing doing at least 120km's.
Now, to clarify the scenario, my car is a charcoal grey Commodore HSV R8, and looks like an unmarked cop car, so I'm guessing that because I was almost exactly on the speed limit, he was checking to see if I was a cop, and then seeing I wasn't he had the all clear to zoom off.
About 500m ahead of me, I saw his brake lights come on briefly, and I wondered what the reason would have been. It occurred to me that maybe there was a break in the centre divide tree line and there was possibly a cop car sitting there?
I was right.
I passed the cop car which was now pulling out with it's lights on, and flew past me and pulled the guy over further up the road ahead of me.
BWAHAHA! No sympathy here.
My last thought as I passed the guy on the side of the road was; "I wonder if he saw or heard any of the 50 million police warnings in the media about driving safely over the Easter w/end?".
