I'm sure that they're only offended if you're above the speed limit in the
process...

I am not the cause of your problems.
My actions are the result of your actions.
Your life is not my fault.

Sounds to me like you were DWS (Driving While Stupid). You had no real
concept of what was going on around you. Probably didn't belong in the
left lane at any rate. Had you been as smart as you were paranoid, you
would have stayed in the right lane as the trooper went trolling on
down the road. Had you been as smart as you were paranoid, you would
not have gone ahead and overtaken the 18-wheeler (Hey, Jaybird will
back me up on this; if you can't get *behind* the guy and he's
oblivious to your *hand* signals, how can you pull him over?) and
ineptly tried to duck in behind the trooper. Had you been as smart as
you were *stupid*, you would have dropped a few more mph and slotted in
*behind* the semi.

Pay the ticket. It's not for speeding; it's the price of stupidity,
but they're not allowed to write you up for that alone.
