I just had a law enforcement officer follow me for about 5 miles.
I had gotten off the expressway at the wrong exit and wanted to turn left to continue down the service drive.
To do that , I had to turn right, but I was stopped at the light in the left lane with a car to my right.
So I looked, no one behind or approaching, and I backed up and pulled behind that other car. The light changed, I made my turn.
Then I saw the cop and he made a turn and followed me.
All the while I was wondering if he was going to pull me over.
Then I remembered:
Romans 13:3King James Version (KJV)
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same
I was headed to the donut shop for coffee and seriously thought he would turn in behind me, and I purposed to pay for his coffee behind me in the drive through.
To my amazement, he did not enter the donut shop driveway, but continued on.
So you missed your chance to be the good guy! :-)
ReplyDeleteI've done it before. It's scary when they follow you out and pull you over to thank you. :)
DeleteLong past time this meme got updated with: INSTEAD OF PULLING OVER, PULLED INTO A TIM HORTON'S DRIVE-THRU AND TRIED TO BRIBE ME WITH COFFEE AND DONUT.
ReplyDeleteWell, It was Timmy's. :)
DeleteOh, I HATE that feeling knowing "he's there behind me..is he going to..?" I had a left blinker not working once and had a cop behind me...I had to change my way home so I didn't have to turn left anywhere :-) Glad you escaped....
ReplyDeleteGlad you did too.
DeleteHold it ... you found a cop who passed a donut shop? Wow!
ReplyDeleteNews flash!!
DeleteIt is scary when they follow you. He probably saw some of the quasi legal lane change and just followed you to insure he would not see more of the same. At which point he would have pinched you. Always good when you get a pass.
ReplyDeleteThat's what I was thinking, Paul.
