  2. Stupid Cop

    So Dave picks me up to go to work. We hop onto 880 S and then cross over to 280 N. We’re doing about 90 or so in the HOV (errr…. carpool) lane. Dave slams on the breaks when he sees a cop right in front of us. Eventually the cop crosses over a couple of lanes and then parks on the bank of the curb right before he turns on his lights right behind us. Seriously, wtf? We were going about 60 and not doing anything wrong. The cop gets out of his car and comes over to our window and is like …. "So this is a kinda interesting situation. You are actually going to slow for the HOV lane. So you can either speed up or merge over." After the cop left me and Dave were just cracking up. Dave, out of all people who would get pulled over all the time for speed tickets, now got in trouble for driving too slow. It seems you can never please ….. But seriously —- made my morning.

      thats scary, i think that 80 is fast the cops on 280 are pretty crazy, i bet you that he was trying to catch you for something else but didnt get a good reading on the radar, generally people incriminate themselves so perhaps thats what he was trying to do… dont get yourself killed before you come to visit! that would suck :-(
