I know that must have been frustrating, but it is sort of funny.

Back when I was thinking about moving back to the Bay Area, I pretty much decided the only way I'd be able to tolerate the traffic/commute was on a motorcycle, and the safest motorcycle would be an ex-CHP bike, because even if you don't go out of your way to look like a CHP motor officer (like this guy was doing), the shape and color of the ex-CHP bike would still grab drivers' attention, and even if a second or third look tells them you're not a CHP, at least they have noticed you.
