I do stop cars for that nonsense, but no, that wasn't me this time. It's the LAW, people.
I deal with idiot drivers all day long. Yesterday at around noon it was a younger woman who passed me, in a heavy downpour, with no lights on, while speeding, and then accelerated even faster to change lanes right-to-left-to-right while barely clearing the cars she was swerving around---at 50 MPH in a 25 zone.
I stop her, walk up to her window (getting soaked because I hate wearing the raincoat), and ask her if she knows why I stopped her. No idea. I informed her she was driving without her lights on while speeding in the rain. She immediately interrupts me with "I WASN'T SPEEDING!"
Yeah, right. I'm standing here getting drenched for the hell of it.
