Where's a cop when you need one?


Yesterday I was driving home and had the most ridiculous road encounter of my life.... I have to turn left at a light to turn on to my street to get home. I waited with a couple other cars in front of me until the end of the light. The two cars in front of me made it on that light but by the time it was my turn the light had turned yellow and, like the good driver that I am :), I decided to just wait for the next light (it's not a long light so no big deal). Well, the idiot behind me was not interested in waiting. He swerved around me into the oncoming traffic lane and ran the red light to make the left. I honked at him because he's an idiot endangering everyone around him. Well his response to that was to stop in the middle of the road for a good 30 seconds and flip me the bird. Like I care, it was his fault. Unfortunately I didn't think to take down his license plate while he was "giving me what I deserved". Man if I could go back I would totally get his plate number and make a citizen's arrest :) Haha. Just more proof that the world is full of idiots and we are lucky everyday when we aren't killed by one on the road. There are some real winners in Utah :) Get off the road jerkface!

I've responded to calls like that. I'm always left wishing that I was there to catch the guy myself, but also wishing that the RP didn't bother calling since I'm not willing to go track someone down for a citizen's report of a traffic infraction.

I do find it vaguely amusing that he's willing to delay himself so long just to flip you off for delaying him.

See this is when my super power of transporting into other ppl's cars would come in handy. . .I would teleport and slap him in the back of the head!

Oh man! I would have been so mad if I were you! He's lucky he didn't cause an accident!
