Crusing into work this morning on the west Raleigh side of the Beltline, I saw a motorist pulled over by an unmarked car I didn’t recognize. It seems the N.C. Highway Patrol may have a new unmarked car out clocking speeders.
While I am not completely sure of the vehicle model, it certainly wasn’t the usual Crown Vic. The car was large with a prominent front grille, similar to a Dodge Charger. This particular vehicle was dark blue with blue lights hidden in the visor area and strobes hidden in the back-up lights. The trooper was dressed in civilian clothes, in this case a red shirt.
Slow it down out there or the muscle car creeping up behind you may be delivering a surprise!
The Oklahoma Highway Patrol (or was it the State Police?) have been issued Suzuki Hayabusas. These are the so claimed “world’s fastest production motorcycle” electronically governed at 183 mph or some such near-light speed.
Well, either way I’m not outrunning anything in the diesel liberty so what does it matter.
