One time, I was driving to meet my dad in the town halfway between where he lived and my town. He and Mom were divorced for two years before they got back together and he used to come down, pick up my autistic brother on Friday, and then meet one of us halfway on Sunday.
I have horrible time (and everything else) management, so instead of driving my customary fifty-five in a sixty-five, I was speeding.
The highway patrol tried to pull me over. I was sleepy and thought they were trying to pass, so I changed lanes. Being sleepy, I did not think better than speeding up to change lanes.
When the highway patrol also changed lanes, I changed back over.
Believe it or not, when in a high-speed chase, I fell asleep.
I woke up on the shoulder, steered back, and then pulled over.
They cited me for driving eleven over, which was a worse ticket than ten over, but also for "improper lane usage."
After over a decade, this is the first time that I thought that I could have just stayed on the shoulder and come to a stop.
Speeding just makes you late when you get pulled over and you waste even more money.
