"Ever Got Lucky With The Police And Never Recieved A Ticket?

I live in Atlanta, Georgia. Well i was driving home this past weekend over by greenbriar mall in Atlanta, Georgia when a car in front of me was driving very slow. Well, blocked by 2 double yellow lines, i couldnt pass on his left (It's against the law to cross Solid Yellow Lines on a 2 lane road or enter incoming traffic coming from the opposite direction) Well it was about 2am so no traffic was really on the road. Well me getting angry because he driving so slow, i just got fed up and hit the gas and speed pass him on the left crossing over the yellow lines and into the oncoming traffing lane (breaking the law) and swerving back in front of him....Little did i know...The only car that was coming down in that lane was Atlanta Police. I was going kind of fast so i had a jump start ahead of the police because if he was going to try and pull me over he would have to turn around. Well i looked in the rearview mirrow and saw the police make a U-Turn, speeding up behind me. My heart Dropped. i was like "DAMN" im caught!!! Well he never turn on his siren or blue lights but he followed me for awhile, I think he Was Checking My Tag. I was so paranoid that i would see his blue lights come on i used my blinkers on every turn, stopped at yellow lights before they turned red and stay well below the speed limit. Well, we came up to an intersection at Headland drive In East Point, Georgia. The light was red. Normally the police wait for you to stop before they pull u over but as soon as the light turned green i drove off slowly hoping he would not continue to follow me. Well to my luck, The police made a right turn onto headland as i continued straight. WHEW!!! i though for sure i was about to get a ticket for illegal passing but somehow the police dint never pull me over. A LESSON TO YOU PEOPLE AND ME. "DONT DO ANYTHING CRAZY JUST BECAUSE YOU DONT SEE A POLICE. I DINT SEE ONE BUT AS SOON AS I MADE THAT ILLEGAL PASS THE ONLY ONCOMING CAR WAS A POLICE. I WAS NEVER PULLED OVER AND GOT HOME SAFE SO I WAS LUCKY." BY THE WAY, IT WAS DARK SO YOU NEVER KNOW.

    I got stopped for reckless driving many years ago and gladly took the ticket. I could have easily been hauled off to jail, but I was cooperative and the officer 'just' happen to know one of the AF sergeants I worked with. Getting the ticket instead of getting thrown in jail...that I call lucky.

    he probably was going to pull you over but got stuck behind the same slow poke and understood why you did it. He ran your tag it came back clean so he gave you a break..

    He must have also passed the same slow driver and understood why you did what you did. That being said he/she gave you a Christmas gift I hope you thanked him.
