Speeding ticket. OUCH!!!

I was speeding in WY back in '99 when I was on my way to Fort Bragg. (We were going to visit family outside Chicago.) Well I was cruising along for like an hour or so and didn't see anyone of either side of the highway and just started picking up the pace. Well when I passed the cop in the bushes I let off the gas and when he caught up to me he was pissed. I saw him I knew I was wrong I slowed down and pulled over. He had me get out of the car and had me sit in the back of his car. I am pretty sure I would have gotten arrested but my wife who was asleep until I pulled over was crying. Well the police officer gave me a ticket and a warning. He told me I was going over 130 but only wrote the ticket up for 130. The ticket was 250. That was my Christmas present that year. No more speeding from me. Well once but it was only 5 over. I was wrong. I pay the fines.
