So we are in the HOV where only cars with 2 passengers or more can ride, and it's of course the far left lane. I am moving along with traffic and I see Mr. Policeman in the lane to my right, and as I am coming up to be equal with him, Mr. Douchenozzle In Training extrordinaire just jumps into my lane without using the little blinking thing that indicates a lane switch....Strike One. So my wife utters "nice signal" and I simply roll my eyes as I have seen this more than a few times. Total tool...I actually saw him looking at us in his rearview mirror.
Then I kinda actually fall back a little as I KNOW cops don't like you tailgating them. So we speed on down the road and we are coming up to a place where you actually exit to the left. So Cophole starts drifting to the left into the exit lane....yes, you guessed it, no turn signal. But that's not all, instead of actually exiting, he all of a sudden turns to the right as if he was going to jump back in the lane, and of course by this time I am up next to him, scared the hell out of my wife and I. What he was doing was actually positioning himself on that little area where an exit separates from the road so he could snag evildoers that cross the line of the law. Strike Two. My man is well on his way toward total Douchenozzlery.
Well what is the reaction any responsible driver has when someone is about to enter their lane stupidly with great possibility of an accident, they lay on the horn! And much to my surprise (insert sarcasm here) the cop pulls out a few cars behind and comes up and you guessed it, pulls me over. So I get as far as I can over that would still allow his ample roundish frame to squeak up to my window, asks for my license and even before he gets to say anything I cannot help myself but I declare "you know, you scared the hell out of my wife and I back there". He says "excuse me, but the reason I pulled you over was because I couldn't see inside your car to see that you had enough passengers to be in the HOV lane" which was a total lie as I had already seen him looking at us in his rearview mirror, unless of course they have some special non-passenger viewing setting I don't know of. And said "well sir, I can't really comment on that, but you basically cut me off without signaling when you got in this lane, then you drifted into the Exit lane with no turn signal and then came right real quick as if you were coming back in the lane!....It scared the hell out of us sir, we thought you were going to hit us!" Note, I would never condone swearing to a cop but I was livid. This chubby pork rind eating sweating like a fiend turd demonstrated twice that he is a danger. THEN hosebeast says "well I'm a little concerned about your following too closely" ...Strike Three. He gets called out by a (dashingly handsome) well dressed feller with his equally (quite beautiful) nicely dressed wife and cannot admit it, and has to try and fall back on the lamest of arguments. Again, I saw that he was going to let me go so I refrained from pointing out to him that I wasn't following too close but rather he slowed down when he was in the exit lane until he scared us by turning to the right.
Ladies and gentlemen, we have Total Douchnozzlery, courtesy of the Georgia State Patrol.
You would think that someone would point out to these large foreheads that by them NOT following the laws, they are a danger to the traffic and we lose all respect for them. They are cops, if they signal, we'll get out of your way!
Lastly, this guy never even looked at my license, I might as well have handed him a library card, although he likely would not have known how to use it. Here's to the men in blue.
