Blocking police cars
A police car was coming down the passing lane at high-speed, with lights
and siren on. An LLB in the lane stepped on the brakes so as to slow down to the speed of the cars in the right lane. After waiting for what seemed like too long, the cop swerved into the right lane, but then all the drivers in that lane stepped on their brakes. It took more than 30 seconds and three lane changes to get through the blockage. Can't you ram if an LLB blocks you like that? Before that incident, I was driving in the right lane when a minivan driver in the passing lane started flashing its brake lights. There was one car ahead of me, but nothing in front of the minivan. A driver who was trying to pass got behind me and started tailgating as the minivan driver slowed down to match my speed and then began drifting into me. Trapped between the minivan and the car in front and back, I downshifted and waited for the gap to open, and then swerved in front of the minivan. That didn't wake up this LLB Duckling, however, as the minivan driver then slowed to a crawl and angered two other drivers behind it after I had accelerated away. Also this week, on a 2-lane road with a slight curve, I notice that there's two GM econoboxes with high-beams on, coming down my side of the road. It's MSMD! |

If ever a situation called for the PIT maneuver, this was it. |
