another thing i just don't get

So there’s something I just don’t understand. Okay, well, there are a lot of things I just don’t understand, like: where all of my paycheck disappears to over the weekend, how Bristol beat out Brandy in DWTS, and the entire subject of trigonometry. But those things aside, there’s something else that has been bugging me for ages

WHY do people feel the need the slow down to below the posted speed limit when passing a state trooper who has already pulled someone else over? Is it the magnetism of the swirling lights and like moths to a flame we are lulled into letting off the gas? Is it the spectacle of Joe Schmoe driver of said vehicle in violation trying to appear unscathed? Whatever it is, let it not be because they think they’re at risk of getting pulled over as well. The officer has already taken the bait, folks. We’ve sacrificed one for the sake of the pack. If a migrating goose is injured another goose stays behind with him, rather than traveling on.

DON’T BE A GOOSE. They poop on everything and quite frankly, they’re kind of mean.


Anyway, what I’m trying to say is…maintain your speed. If you were going 75 mph before dude got plucked off, then there’s a good chance that they saw you…but wanted him more. Don’t give them an opportunity to question their decision. Keep going 75.

  1. I don't know the laws there. But when passing emergency vehicles here, you have to slow down to 60 km/h on the freeway
