Default Accidental kill!!

I was on my way to work this morning doing about 65 when all of a sudden I see blue and red lights behind me.

I pull over and the the cop comes up beside me and askes me if I always blow past cops doing 25 over the speed limit..... I tell him that I didn't even see him and he runs my license and comes back telling me to slow down.

The best part is when he is about to walk back to his car he says" Nice car I wish I had one." Living here and being in the Coast guard sure does help w/ tickets.

I guess it's not really a kill. He said he was doing 35 and I blew by him and it took him a second to realize it, and had to step on it to catch up to me.

I really was telling the truth when I told hom I wasn't paying attention. It was 0530 in the morning on a three lane street and he was on the other side of a car.
