After reading your subject line,the first bit of
advice that popped into my head was "slow down".But if
you`re looking for excuses to tell a police officer,I
have a couple: 1)."I was a little loose coming out of
turn four back there,but you know I really have to
thank all the guys in the pits,my crew chief,and these
new Goodyear tires.Coca-cola`s been especially good to
us this year,too",etc. 2).I wasn`t going too
fast,officer,I always try to watch my speed when I`ve
had too much to drink..... 3). WOW!! Impressive! I`ll
bet somebody`s anxious to get this thing back!
There`s some icebreakers for you,William,if nothing
else.(But one or more of them may tend to imply
guilt,so be careful). Steve P.
