yesterday, I pulled out of my parking lot and immediately got stuck at a stoplight behind a cop. As I followed him for less than two blocks, this is what I noticed...
As the light turned green, he stomped on the pedal and took off. Roughly 40 in a 30mph zone (I know this because I was doing 35 and couldn't keep up). At the next intersection, he changed lanes in the middle of the intersection without signaling and then halfway down the block made a right turn into a business driveway and not only failed again to use his blinker, but also had a tail light out.
Now... If I had done any combination of the above, I'd have gotten a ticket. or worse!
I think I'm going into the wrong field...
It's so true! If you have lights on top of your car you can get away with random sthtuff.
ReplyDeleteTrue story: I was driving home from work with Amelie in the car. Watched another car hit a pedestrian in the street and drive off while the pedestrian laid there moaning, and would you like to guess what the cop sitting in front of said cross walk did? NOTHING! Yup, not. a. thing.
I was livid, and pulled over and called 911. He of course was the 1st responder. He said he didn't see anything happen, because he was on his laptop updating after giving a speeding ticket. What. The. Jeff.
argh!! FRUSTRATIONS!!
