The road was long, open and hot. One other car could just about be seen on the horizon, but it was still several miles away. Besides that single vehicle, all that could be seen were a few dry trees and a large billboard further down the road. The hot weather led to Sandy wearing a pair of denim mini shorts and a low cut tank top that showed off her belly button. Her beach blonde hair was tied back in one long pony tail.
Speed was a passion of Sandy's. She'd faced numerous speeding fines in the last few years and was just 1 penalty point away from having her licence taken from her. She'd been driving much more cautiously lately, waiting for the points to expire. But here, in this grand stretch of emptiness, Sandy saw nothing to stop her from driving as fast as she wanted, so she pressed her foot down on the accelerator and sped on forward.
Sandy's joy ride was cut short as she passed the billboard. As she drove past, she noticed a police car parked behind, presumably waiting for people just like her. The car pulled out behind her, turned on it's lights and sirens and quickly sped up.
"Fuck!" Sandy shouted to herself in frustration.
She contemplated speeding up and trying to get away, but she quickly realised that was a stupid idea. She'd easily be caught with nowhere to hide and then she'd be in a lot more trouble. So she pulled over just off the road and waited.
A male cop of about 30 stood outside her door. Sandy lowered the window. He stared at her for a second.
"Do you know why I've pulled over?"
Sandy had been through all this crap too many times already. "No, officer."
"You were driving pretty fast back there. Too fast if you ask me."
"Do you have any proof?" After the second ticket, Sandy had decided to look up exactly what she could do to get herself out of the situation, and she knew that a single officer's testimony is not enough for a conviction.
He lifted up a hand-held speed detector. "There's also a camera constantly recording in the front of my car. Is that enough proof for you?"
This was trouble. Sandy couldn't afford any another ticket. Then she noticed the officer's wandering eyes briefly glancing at her chest every now and then. Perhaps I can charm my way out of this, she thought.
She leaned forward towards the window, giving him a better view down her top. Thanks to the heat, she wasn't wearing a bra, and she hoped the sight would daze him a little.
She put on her best cute face and innocent voice. "Please, officer. My sister's having a birthday party and she'd be really disappointed if I were late."
