Cliff Notes:
Driving, honked lady at traffic light. She drives REALLY slow, gives me finger, calls cops on me claiming I'm tailgating. Cop gives me non-tailgate ticket.
--
I was on my way to Sears to try to get some tools to work on my busted car. I'm taking a POS beater with crappy brakes and no power and good gas mileage to the mall.
I'm minding my own business driving through local roads (40mph limit in NJ) and I'm stopped behind some people in a Hyundai SUV. I have no idea why but they sit at the light for a good 5+ seconds with it green so I beep them once to get their attention to the green.
So they floor it and then hit their brakes to 30mph. So obviously I have to slow down and I end up like 2 car lengths back. Next traffic light they move off normally and when they hit a bend, they brake check me around the curve. Obviously since I'm 3 car lengths behind, it's not like I'm close so it has me back within 2 car lengths of them as I wait for them to speed up.
Next light, she gives me the finger and I'm sitting there wondering what I did wrong?? Was she PO'ed that I honked her or something?? Did they not notice that they were going 25-30 in a 40 and I was following appropriately for that speed? Did they get sand their crotch or something?
The cop pulls me over and I'm wondering what the heck's going on. He tells me those buttnuggets called and complained about "erratic driving" and the whole license and registration thing. So right now I'm pretty PO'ed that they get to act like Aholes and I'm gonna get the short end of the stick because they had a "witness in the car."
Cop gives me a bit of an attitude when he asks for my license and registration. Cop waits until they leave and checks to find my perfect driving record and says those ladies wanted him to nail me for 5pts but he'll give me a BS ticket with no points for $130.
I'm still really PO'ed about how those b1tches are probably laughing their @$$es off at how they were able to screw someone over because they had a bad day. :disgust:
I didn't mention to the cop about the finger but that just doesn't seem right. Just because they were two people and I'm one, they get to jerk me? WTF??? Was there something I should have done? Bradruth?
