re: more idiots on the road
Last saturday, driving down 128 outside Boston, I was in the right hand lane
nearing my exit, doing about 65 (the other 3 lanes moving faster, and full of
traffic)...
A cop had pulled over a late 80's Honda civic with a couple young girls in it
several hundred yards before my exit...as I approach them, the civic throws
on the turn signal, and immediately pulls out about 10 or so car lengths
ahead of me. Lets see, the honda probably does 0-65 mph (my speed) in about
12 seconds, i.e., can't be done in about 10 car lengths. As usual, nobody
behind me in my lane, so I get to test out both the UFOs and the horn,
wishing the cop would follow and pull them over once again...Fortunately, the
brakes work well. Hope their upholstery is scotch-guarded...
Perhaps they didn't see my big pearl white Audi? Didn't want to wait the 3
seconds for a clear lane? Or perhaps they just couldn't afford that SUV
quite yet...
