Pulled Over

Last week I was getting frustrated with my car's navigation system (code named Brenda) because I wanted it to put me on the highway (I was going to Foxwoods), but it was directing me on back roads through Jamaica Plain. I was driving through a rotary when unbeknownst to me a police officer got behind me. Had I known this I would not have stepped on the gas (due to my growing frustration with Brenda, actually that's not entirely true: I would have stepped on it anyway) and gone from about 20mph to 60mph in a couple of seconds, thereby going 30mph over the speed limit. Needless to say the cop immediately lit me up and pulled me over. The conversation went as follows once he got to my window:

cop "Are you kidding me!? I was right behind you. Did you want me to race you!?"
me "No, I didn't want to race. I'm sorry."

I gave the cop my license and registration and he came back after a couple of minutes and advised me to look around and know who is around me before I do that again. Also, he didn't give me a ticket and walked away. So thanks to the police officer in Jamaica Plain who didn't give me a ticket. That deserves 2 points, plus I hit Rhode Island and Connecticut on the trip, that's another 2 so we're at:

Blue Steel 4
World 0


However, the rest of the night was:
Foxwoods 1
Me 0
Or me -300 rather.
