Speeding cop
As I was going to work Tuesday morning, Aug. 21, on I-110 at 6:03 a.m., a Santa Rosa County sheriff's cruiser passed me like I was sitting still.
I was doing 55 mph, so being the good citizen that I am and interested in where the crime was in Escambia County that would cause him to travel at this high rate of speed, I sped up to 65 mph to follow him.
Alas, I could not maintain the speed he was doing. Maybe it was a call in Gulf Breeze that required him to not use his blue lights, or maybe he felt exempt from the posted speed limit most of the citizens traveling I-110 maintain.
