Close cop encounter, and some good luck!
Driving home today, I was about to make a routine right-hand turn onto the highway on-ramp. Cruising about 80, click off a heart-warming 5-3 DCT downshift with the appropriate rev-match in S4, and made a moderately quick turn onto the ramp....
... to be faced with 2 RCMP cruisers parked on the shoulder and two officers standing on the side of the road! No tire squealing, no sliding, no sideways action, no MDM intervention. I wasn't going THAT fast. Of course, I get waved down and pulled over. Here's how the conversation goes: Officer: Why were you speeding? Me: Just getting around the corner onto the highway. I'm really sorry about that. O: You were going pretty quick. Almost on 2 wheels. [not sure if he was kidding - wasn't even close] Me: I really do apologize. O: Can I see your driver's license please? How's your driving record? Me: Here you go. Record's clean. [really, it is.] O: Mr. Chowster? Just slow down a bit. Probably hard in a car like this. Drive safe. PHEW! And off I went onto the highway!!! Good thing I didn't do a more aggressive 5-2 downshift with some serious rev-matching and push it for fun. Some good luck for me today! I think they were out doing seatbelt and cellphone checks. Why else would they hang out on the highway on-ramp?

Not sure how it goes with RCMP, but I would never say anything remotely close to incriminating myself. It goes without saying to be polite, but I would never admit to speeding or apologizing about any "excessive speed" or "cornering." But glad to hear you got off.

Maybe the car seats in the back helped with my good image. :P

They simply stopped you since they wanted a closer look at your car
 ... this I was told was another encounter with the officer hiding behind a tree with his radar gun ... he stopped this young lady in her convertible ... Officer; Young lady I've been waiting for you all day! Young Lady; Officer I came as fast as I could! Both had a good  then he let her go with a warning telling her as he handed her the warning ..."next time go a bit slower, I'll be here all day no worries"
