Since we're off topic ... the other day I was absolutely flying down the interstate on my motorcycle, must have been going a touch over 100 mph. I saw ahead the traffic was sort of bunching up, but there was sort of a hole I could shoot through. So I just kept it hammered and aimed for the hole.
Just as I was clearing through the hole I saw WHY the traffic was bunched up. There was a cop stopped in the road ahead, his car pointed my way, straddling lanes and I was aimed head-on at his grill. I had to flick it left as hard as I could while doing so I noticed the passenger door was open. Immediately followed by noticing why it was open. The passenger seat cop had jumped out, leaving his door open and was bolting (to my left) toward the median wall divider. I had to give it as full right as I could once clearing the door so I didn't mow him down ... still at just over 100 mph. And as quick as it all happened I saw an image of his body go by on my left, I had just barely missed him.
How I missed him I still don't know. I'm betting he saw his life pass before his eyes. I figured I might as well keep the hammer down since I didn't want to get shot at. And so it all worked out and I just kept going. But I don't recommend such driving. Sure wish I had recorded all that, but haven't figured out how to record what I'm doing while playing Grand Theft Auto yet.
