Have you ever been a tad annoyed when the person in front of you forgets to turn off their turn signal? At every street you slow down in anticipation of their sudden turn.This was like that, and on a grand scale!
First the driver of a semi truck pulled into a gas station thinking he was being pulled over. He found a way to park in the small station lot, got out of his truck, waited for the cop, hopped on his cell phone and started pacing. The cop just drove coolly through the intersection (flashing all along) and kept going. Poor semi driver!
Then, at an intersection, the traffic lights were acting strange as they are set to be timed with the flashing cop car lights. Drivers were confused and didn't want to get ahead of the police vehicle, so we sat at the light and waited. . . and waited some more. . . . you get the idea.
Finally we're all following this fellow like a funeral procession, and perhaps he doesn't get why people in front of him are slowly turning off onto side streets, and I'm just about at the street where I turn off at work, (perhaps 2 or 3 miles down the road, which runs through a residential area - it really was a slow ride) he figures it out.
Poor fellow. I'm guessing he received more grief at the police station than I did when I walked in to work five minutes late.
