It was soon after I crossed the border. I was driving on I5 towards Redmond in the U.S. where my friends are living. I was following the car before me a little bit faster than 70 mph when suddenly red and blue lights came on. I was driving so smoothly and gently in a good manner that I couldn't understand why the lights came on. I changed the lane and the lights were still on just behind me, and I recognized for the first time that I was caught by them. As I know the cops in this country are sometimes very dangerous, I obeyed them and signed the ticket, but I can't still understand why I was caught. I believe I was far from danger. Anyway, it's a fact that I'm paying a fine every month in this year. How can I be more careful while driving?
When I'm consciously speeding, I just make sure that I'm not ever the fastest car on the road. If at least one person is going faster than me, they'll be the one to get caught.

Yes, you are right. I was taking the same strategy this time - driving at the tail of a several car group, and was caught. All the cars in front of me were safe. I can't believe it.
