luck.
deciding to get some gasoline for my car, i changed my usual route of coming home from nathan's house. instead of the well lit highway, i went for the eastwood hills. passing the 40mph speed limit sign i reminded myself that i had to be cautious of the police. on eastwood hills, it's difficult to maintain the speed limit because of gravity. driving along, i noticed the car behind me had its brights on. i kept my eye on the vehicle because there wasn't much else to do. i realized that it had sped up and was following me pretty closely. feeling pressured, i reached speeds of 50mph or so. as i was reaching home, i noticed that the car was extremely close to mine. getting frustrated, i decided to piss it off by driving slow. when i was about to turn into my neighborhood, i put on my brakes and did a dead stop for a few seconds, obviously making the vehicle behind me stop, before turning right and on to the next street. chuckling, i looked in my rear view mirror. to my horror the familiar outline of a cop car was apparent. it drove away from me and out of site. i seriously can't believe how lucky i am. my driving record remains clean.
