A few weeks ago, I was at the dry cleaners, dropping off some things for my sister and ended up in line behind a police officer on his lunch break. The clerk was trying to find the officer's dress uniform when a man in a business suit stormed into the building, slapped his ticket on the counter, and began shouting for service. He hollered and fussed until the lady working with me finished my ticket and headed over to help him.
I headed out to the parking lot and stopped to have a brief conversation with the police officer, who commented on some damage I'd received to my Explorer during a wreck the week before and what an idiot the other customer had been. By the time we parted company, the rude customer had collected his items, stormed out of the dry cleaners, hopped into his car, and tore out of the parking lot just ahead of us.
I was right behind him when we reached a traffic light that had already turned red. Instead of stopping, he blitzed right through the intersection, almost hitting a school bus. The cop behind me flipped on his lights and siren and whipped around me. As he went past, he just smiled and waved.
That was one ticket that cop was more than happy to write.
Your story reminds me being out driving a few weeks ago. I passed a guy who was driving in the right lane on a fourlane expressway and for some reason, he took offense. He tailgated me all the way to and onto the interstate, where he promptly blew past me doing at least 70+ and accelerating rapidly.
It wasn't 20 seconds after the guy blew past me that I saw a cop pull out from behind some barrels and pull the guy over as it was a 55mph workzone. I blew my horn and waved to the guy as I rolled by.
