“Do you know how fast you were going?”
Eight of the worst words in the English dictionary. Especially when spoken by an officer of the law.
We were traveling back from picking up our daughter at daycare, and I was driving along one of the larger roads in town. I had just commented to my wife on how there seemed to be an awful lot of cops around today. There was one just up ahead of us, and we had just passed another leaving the parking lot of a grocery store. I happened to glance up to my rear view mirror and all of the sudden, the cop we had just passed was directly behind us. With the lights flashing.
I felt a twinge of worry. No one ever likes it when the cop pulls out behind you. I started to look for a place to pull into the right lane. Maybe he was on his way to some emergency.
Then he followed me into the right lane.
Crap…he’s after me.
