Sep 10. Police car or Speed Limit Sign?
The hightway system is well developed in Texas, you can find \"70mph(about 112kmph)\" speed limit signs here while \"65mph\" or \"60mph\" signs are prevailing across the States. Anyway, the cowboys are not satisfied yet, I always see a lot trucks hurtling past me at 75 or even 80 on the road.
This Sunday is an ordinary one, and in the afternoon, I drove on the highway 6 back from extra work. The highway was crowded with speeding cars and I became one of them at a speed of 75mph. Suddenly the car ahead made a sudden breake which is unusual on the highway. I stepped on the braking paddle firmly to make my car slow down to the speed of the car in front, it was really a hard brake! When the speed got steady i took a look at the meter --- \"20mph\" I could not believe it! What happened? In a few seconds, I realized the reason --- two police cars were parking on the shoulder of the fast lane(usually they are off highway when parking). Obviously no one want to be caught speeding. Driving hundred of yards away from the point, all the cars gained speed again, and when about 1 mile away, i saw my meter was back to 75mph. |
