Forgot my credentials today, so around lunch I was on my way home to get them, cruise controlled at about 5-over in the left lane, when the RD chirps on Ka band. I downshifted to the PSL JUST in time to see...yep, a state trooper unmarked crown vic turning around in the median.
What's he do?
Gets on the highway, in the right lane, behind me. I thought he would pass me, but then he moved to the left lane, right on my butt, and flipped on the lights.
Know that sinking feeling in your stomach? Yeah, I got tha feeling, peed a little, then, thought, "WTF, for 5-over? BS!"
So I slid to the right lane, but didn't pull over. He took OFF after some guy in a red Altima. I was actually laughing hysterically when he blew by me. He just wanted to pass on the left, not the right, in his pursuit.
So while I was at home, getting my stuff, I also took a moment to clean up and change my pants. And cruise controlled it AT the PSL on the way back to work.
At least I didn't have a coronary...but another ticket would probably have meant a divorce.
...sort of.
