Have you ever been driving down a highway & had a motorist on the other side of the road flash their headlights at you, warning there's law enforcement hiding along the road up ahead?

Well, yesterday I was traveling west bound on Hwy 126 & a black & white flashed his head lights at me. That's right, a law enforcement officer. I failed to notice if the black & white was a LA County Sheriff or a CHP vehicle. I began thinking to myself, no way, he can't be warning me about a fellow law enforcement officer, no way, just can't be.

Well, around the next bend, there he was, a CHP officer parked on the side of the road, monitoring speeds with radar.

That will never happen again in a million years.

NO, I can't say that I ever had a funny feeling, except maybe the time I was driving down (south) on Highway 1 along the California coast. I was stuck behind a huge MotorHome (more like a MotorHOTEL), for miles and miles, doing around 40 MPH, with a DOUBLE YELLOW line ALL the way (Illegal to Pass). After about 20 miles, I could Not take 'It' any longer; I broke the law, and pulled out fast, on a 'slight' Hill, and passed! JUST as I was pulling right, back in front of the MotorHome, I was close to a 'Head on collision' with the Oncoming Vehicle!! Ya, You guessed it! It was a Califonia Highway Patrol Cruiser! You should have seen the look on his face! That officer swung that sedan around in one of the fastest '180' turns I have ever seen!! BOOM! RED LIGHTS in MY Mirrors! Ofcourse I Pulled over; He didn't take me to jail, but he had me exit the car and stand on the side of the road, with him, while he wrote out My ticket. Guess he wanted to observe weather or not I was Under the Influence, or not. I was not. If I remember correctly, That Citation cost me a day in court and $400. My point being: When I was young, once, I my not have had All good sense! But I always had PERFECT Timing!! LOL!
When I was 16, I was on my way home. Got behind a drunk doing 30 on the highway onramp. Got a clear shot and zoomed around him. You guesed it, the only car on the highway was a cop about 1/2 mile back. Pulled me out of the car, looking for booze, drugs etc. None there, about that time some one drove by and threw a beercan at the cop....I would like to thank that man today!
On my way to Utah, just outside a little southern town, two police cars backed in facing the hy, two Barny Fifes in the middle of the road pointing a radar gun at me. I realized what was happining when they bumped into each other trying to get to their cars when I stopped right in front of them so they could not pull onto the road and put my window down and asked...what are you going to do? chase me? They just asked me to pull over relax and get a 4 point 70 in a 35 speed trap. The funniest thing is when I went to court. There was a local black dude that had obviously been in front of that judge before. He was caught with two kinds of pot in his socks. The judge asked him why he had different baggies. The dude said one was hydro and the other was just regular pot. Then the judge said..Oh you mix them together do you. The dude looked up at the judge and said No No NO then he had an apparition and said " Well I guess you could" It was hilarious.. the judge gave him a new idea. My fine was reduced to $50.. To this day I still use the response..." I guess you could!"
