Back in the early 1980s we were driving north on I25 around Walsenburg, CO. The wife was driving when she came up behind a very old pickup weaving all over the road going about 45. We could tell the guy was drunk. She waited for him to hit the shoulder, then she down shifted and blew by him on the other shoulder.
A Colorado HP was going the other direction and zapped the wife with the radar. He pulled around and stopped her several miles down the road. Told her she was going 65+. Ten over the old double nickel. He asked were why she was still accelerating when he hit her a second time.
We told him about the drunk and he said that was no excuse and went back to the car to run her DL and write her up. While he is on the radio, the drunk comes weaving by us all over the road. He jumps out of his car hands my wife her DL and blasts off with lights on.
We change drivers and catch up to the drunk and CHP down the road. The stumbling drunk is already cuffed and being led to the patrol car. We honk and the CHP smiles and waves.
