So, as some of you may know, instead of getting mad at a car that zooms by me, I usually talk to them in a conversational way. Case in point:
Today, coming from Williston to the Shelburne Rd exit, I’m in the passing lane, going about 75 (speed limit is 65). In my mirror is this guy in a silver Audi (expensive car) right on top of me, really quite ridiculous. So, when the opportunity arises without me speeding too much to get past, I move back to the right lane. The Audi zooms by me at about 80-85. I say in my flippant way “go on with it, when you get pulled over, tell ‘em I sent ya.” I say this at times, and nothing ever comes of it.
So after his zooming be me, he then cuts off a person to get in the right lane to get off on the Shelburne Rd exit. Lovely, he couldn’t wait an extra 30 seconds, he had to try and zoom by everyone. But whatever.
So we get on the 189 link to Shelburne Rd, and he goes up and over a hill and I’m not paying attention because I’m trying to move to the left so the people merging on wont hit me. So as I get closer to where 189 ends, I see police lights up ahead on the right. I cross my fingers…but no, there’s a white car behind the police officer who’s getting a ticket. As I get closer, there’s also a blue car in front of the officer, who’s getting a ticket (that officer is good). And as I drive past,
who is leading the pack of ticket-getters? None other than my friend in the silver Audi, Mr. my time is more valuable than yours.
I smiled. Mercy cannot rob justice. It’s so true.
