There is a traffic circle by my house with really low curbs, very similar to the rumble strips in F1, and train tracks running through it... It basically acts like a chicane, where you barely have to turn if you skim the curbs. It was completely deserted so I entered this chicane “spiritedly”, bounced a bit on the tracks which made the tires chirp and give the impression I’m trying to drift, which I was not. Anyway this turn is very fun… But there was a cop in an SUV hauling a boat (he was patrolling the river) coming the other way as I exited and he pulled me over from the front. He grabbed my papers and when he came back out he said “Do you want the $700 option or the $80 option?” I said $80 sounds like the better deal. Basically he said he could have got me for reckless driving, stunting and speeding; but he would let me off with an $80 warning (speeding) because he knew it was a new car that I was probably excited about and my record was good, but I should chill the f* out.
