You know those people who drive like they're better than everyone else - and feel like the laws somehow don't apply to them? Dislike them with a passion, don't you? Come on, be honest here - it's just you and me. I talk to other drivers from inside my car, knowing full well and good that those arrogant so-and-so's can't hear me; but if it makes me feel better, I'm going with it.
Today I witnessed one of them get their comeuppance. Sorry if you think I'm petty, but it brought a small smile to my face, once I'd passed the incident. There's been lots of construction, lane changes and new traffic lights added on my route home from work. It's a big road, leading to a major highway - you'd better believe that U-turns are not permitted - yet I've been witness to WAY too many of them lately. Where's a cop when you need one? Today, he was there.
Driver in a red vehicle, from a traffic light, in front of said officer sitting in the median in an unmarked car, makes a U-turn, just to sit at another traffic light, and then proceeds to reverse and pull forward a few times to adjust their lane position. Officer just sits there, and when the light changes, he turns on his flashing lights, gives a few whoops with the siren, and pulls the red vehicle over. Like I said, it's a small thing, but it's nice to see a little balance in this unbalanced world.
