I got pulled over on the Route 3 Laconia bypass by an officer with the same logic. He was parked off the road right where it begins in Belmont, so when I passed him I was in my blast off acceleration mode. When I turn on there, I generally like to romp on it, redline first, redline second, then shift to top gear and cruise at 60. I got pulled over about 2 miles down the road, where he asks me how fast I was going. I asked him what he had, he said he didn't know (
) but that he had to go 110 mph to catch up with me, and that "I really took off like a bat out of hell." Well of course one must go faster than the car one is chasing in order to catch up, especially if he was stopped when I passed him. It's basic logic!
No proof of speed (since I wasn't really speeding) = no ticket
