So I had to nonchalantly slow myself down and as he passed by me I knew I still wasn’t quite at the speed limit. So I watched him on my rear view window as I repeated “just don’t turn around. Don’t turn around. Don’t turn around.” And I saw him turn in to the very next street and said “shoot, he’s gonna turn around.” Well, God was once again looking out for me and although the officer turned i
