I've tried to get one back in my youth as well. A quick 30' downhill drop, then the 25mph road flatens out for a half mile -- Our little burg's favorite speed trap. I saw the cop running radar up ahead and gave it my best shot. I whizzed past him, hell-bent-for-leather, and went back to ask him how fast I was going. He said he had he clocked me at 32mph. And he added "You best be sure you have good brakes, son..."
