Default A Ticket for me?

Yesturday i was driving on 405 to Bothell. A Red Mazda 6 was creeping up behind me really fast. So i floored it and hit almost 90 MPH. right then i saw a cop sitting on the road. I hit the brakes and the Mazda came running past me and hit his brakes. So the cop pull out into the highway and right there I was side by side with him for about 3 sec then he speed up to get behind the Mazda, turned on his lights, and pulled him over. Will the cop send me a ticket in the mail?

I thought he was gona get me and I was waiting for him to slow down and get behind me but never did. If he wanted to get me also also, would he have point me to pull over too?

I had no front plate and the only time he saw rear plate was the time when him and the mazda pulled over. Im loosing my hair worrying.

^^

"deer in the headlights" type of feeling.

To the OP: You got really lucky with the cop encounter but you should not be doing 90MPH on public roads/highway/freeway/etc (I-405).

WSP are using motorcycle pairs to pull over multiple cars and other speeding motorcyclists as well so its a good thing there was only one cop.

Just stay the speed limit and save the races for the weekend track events.

A) don't be an idiot
B) if you see someone creeping up behind you, let them pass...not pull shenanigans like this

Why the HELL did you floor it when you saw a MAZDA 6 speeding up behind you? Don't be stupid and you won't have to worry about stuff like this.

if they dont write you a ticket right there and then then you cant be cited for it. usually cops have only 48 hours before they give up. say if your car was reported stolen they'll stop looking for it if they dont see it 48 hours later and if it's found then it's found. Got my hatchback stolen back in the day =[
