There I was, riding along Buena Vista with hubby, minding my own business (as usual) when a dang stupid police cruiser pulled from the left lane right across in front of me and STOPPED. I almost rammed right into the idiot. Then sped off after another car east on 466. There better have been an axe murderer in the vehicle s/he was chasing to cause that kind of maneuver. I'm all for cracking down on traffic violators, but not by placing other peoples lives and my new-to-me car in jeopardy!
Ok, just had to vent.

You go, girl!!!

If YOU pulled a stunt like that in front of the cruiser, they'd probably have you face down on the hood, "hooking you up".........

Seen a lot of bad driving by the younger police here. Seems they also have to talk on cell phones also. Never seem to use blinkers.

I wish I had a dollar every time I seen a cruiser ride another cars behind (tailgating) without any lights on. They think they are above the law?

There was probably a 2 for 1 sale going on at Dunkin Donuts on 466.

You all make me feel so much better!

When something like that happens to me I always try and think " there must be some logical explanation for that person doing such a dumb thing" . It takes a lot of the stress away. Some one goes flying by me in their car, I think maybe their child is in the emergency room.

Just one of many examples in my personal life. I was on an airplane and they ask that all seat backs be placed in upright position. The idiot in front of me put his up, but 1 minute later, after the flight attendant went by, he put it back down. While in flight the " idiot" told the flight attendant they should right up a repair order on his seat, as it would not stay upright. Kind of made me feel like an idiot myself.

I've found, at least in New York, that the cops are usually the worst drivers for one very good reason. They don't have to follow the rules.
