So, It's 1972 and I'm tooling along on the 4 lane from Dothan Alabama to Montgomery Alabama. I'm doing a wee bit more than the 70 MPH speed limit. A Super Bee blows by me. Then I see a Blue light jump out of the bushes. He was parked and perpendicular to the highway when I passed him. I ease back to the posted speed limit. The Super Bee keeps going.
As I'm thinking to my self that the speed trap cop has no chance to catch the Super Bee, the the cop car blows by me like I'm backing up in less than a mile from where I passed him and I see similar to the picture below.
Who'd a thunk it? This was 1970's Alabama. State Police had big 4 door Dodges and Fords then. A space ship passing me wouldn't have shocked me more than that trooper going by me.
