I was driving home from Cape May New Jersey, after a
glorious few days, with TLW (The Little Woman), my older sister Tess (much
older) and my brother-in-law John, when suddenly we hit a backup on the Garden
State parkway.
For what was a whole hour, we crawled inches at a time until
we saw the source of the tie-up, a multi car accident. Two cars are totally
wrecked and ambulances are all over the road, fire trucks and police, lights
flashing and bodies on the ground.
Once we passed that point, it suddenly opened up and off we
were once again, driving at least 70 mph, wondering where all those vehicles
went that I was sitting with moments ago.
As I am driving in the left lane, this dark blue car
suddenly appears and comes up to my tail, almost bumping me: making me very
angry, but I will not be bullied. He stays there for a few miles, and I am
ready to boil, so I slow down, to get him to go around me. Finally the
numbskull gets the message, and pulls around to the side of me, rolls down his window
and gives ME a dirty look!
“Go around you moron!” I intone.
He gets in front of me and flashes his blue lights, telling
me he is an unmarked police car! I had just told off a stupid cop, because he
was creating a dangerous situation for my family and me, and I had gotten away
with it.
In all honesty, I would have gladly moved over if his lights
were flashing, if I could recognize the fact that he was on some mission. He
was on the way to a non-emergency, and decided that the world owed him free
access to anywhere he wished to go, so get the hell out of his way.
I guess I should write to the NJ Highway police and
complain, but what good will that do? The stupid cop just went through one of
the worst accidents as I did, and here he is driving recklessly!
