This happen to me this morning on my commute into work.
I was headed south and had just climbed the hill out of the Temecula Valley, doing about 78MPH. This little white car with two young women (who knows how young) came zipping by me like I was sitting still! (I guess between 90 & 95 mph). About 15 seconds after they flew by me we both spotted a CHP Truck on the left shoulder and it was coming back into traffic. We both slowed down and obviously, he didn't have radar on or he would have gotten them! The story doesn't end there... So all traffic around us has slowed to about 75mph and the CHP heads to the rightside lanes where a few trucks are rolling along. He looks them over and continues to the next truck.
We are now coming upon the exit for Mission road in Fallbrook and the CHP is in the far right (#4) lane, like he's getting off or something and there are several other vehicles in front of him and to his leftside...WHEN out of nowhere, here comes the two chicks in their little white car, back up to speed (90mph or so) in the #2 lane! It's like they thought the CHP was off the freeway, BUT HE WASN'T! He pulls over to the #3 lane, the chickies still don't see him (no brakes or anything) and before you can say "Gothca", lights come on and he's right behind them! Nailed them good! Boy, what a BIG Mistake she made!
I've been laughing all morning over that! I might even have it on video, if my cameras were working at the time...
