Just today I was in the minivan with Mom & Dad. Mom made an offhand comment that there were probably cops out on the road... not that it mattered much for Dad cos he tends to drive under the speed limit these days. The road in question is 4 lanes but narrows down to two, and it's apparently typical for drivers here to speed up so they can get ahead of the other drivers before it narrows. In fact we had already seen one driver pulled to the side by the cops.
Well, right afterwards, Dad sees a white mercedes zipping up on his left, the driver talking away on her cell phone. I look down the road and see a cop car with flashing lights behind some other car and comment, "Sure lady keep on speeding!" haha!
Well obviously she slowed down once she saw the cops too... but it was too late. She had already passed the unmarked radar car and the cops had radioed ahead to the pickup cars. I think I saw a line of about... maybe 4 or 5 cop cars down the road. One of them waited until she passed and instantly flicked on the lights and pulled out behind her. She was so busy talking away on her phone that it took her almost half a minute to realize the cop was there for her.
We drove on, chuckling.
