The speed limit was 30 mph. When we saw headlights coming toward us, I joked to Jeremy how funny it would be if the approaching vehicle was a cop.Turns out, it was a cop.At this point, Jeremy starts slowing down. I recall screaming at him something to the effect of "You're driving 110 mph over the speed limit, without a valid license, and with expired tags and no insurance. If you get pulled over, you're going to jail."So he gunned it. Since the cop had to slow down, flip a U-turn, then accelerate to catch us, I knew we had a good chance of dusting him. I was right, fortunately. We lost him. Jeremy, of course, was so freaked out by the whole thing that he had to spill the beans to his girlfriend, who naturally ripped him to shreds verbally for being such a fool.Amazingly, alcohol wasn't involved. Just pure adolescent male stupidity.</blockquote>
