I once got behind a guy who was VERY tipsy in some of the back roads around
where I live.  They can all be VERY dangerous if you're not watching the
line; many of them are full of tight curves.  Well, this guy decided he
didn't want to do tight, so he cut the corners.  By several feet over the
line.

As luck had it, he and I were both headed past the local police station.
Luck also had it that one of the town cops was just pulling in.  I pulled
in, and as she got out, yelled, "Drunk driver, red mercedes coupe, headed
THAT way!"

She jumped back in, zoomed off, and a minute or two later I passed the guy,
pulled over by the side of the road.

One lister, after my recounting this story, said, "eh, so you're a snitch, eh?"

Damn straight.  And with a cell phone in the car now, I feel a lot less
"helpless"/"powerless" when I see something...
