To the very understandably annoyed driver who went behind me for a good while on the highway, permit me to somehow convey these messages.
1. We've just had the first, extremely wet flurry of the year, on the highway which is STILL undergoing construction.
2. I can't fathom why, presumably they're terrified of snow, but the guy two cars in front of me is going 30 mph, dropping down to 20 in sudden braking ways at every tiny curve. Either way, there's no way to get around it unless you would like to risk the big trucks going past at twice the speed we are, with the wet road.
3. the flurry is making it difficult enough to see.
So with these in mind, could you pretty pretty please maybe back off a few inches and turn off your brights?
I know that I am driving the wonderful car of purple magic with it's special review mirror that destroys glare, but sadly my side mirrors do not have this effect and the glare from each turn is annoying.
So I'm not sure what it is with me and trucks, but they always seem to be the problem causers around me. Idk
JUST PULL THEM OVER ALREADY
I was driving to work (currently working for the paper, so understand, this is at 2 in the morning) for reasons nobody has been able to determine, there have been an extra load of police around recently, so I don't really think of anything when I see one in front of me, next to a truck. The truck slows down, clearly wanting the police to pull in front of them. Cop slows down. Truck slows down. Cop slows down. Repeat. We are now all going 15 mph on a 45mph road.
after a minute or so of this surreal behavior the cop turns on his lights. Both cars proceed to not pull over, or change their speed. Just lights btw, not sirens. Truck continues to try to out slow the cop. After another 2 minutes, they finally get the guy to pull over. Geh!
Wh...where are you going?
There's a fairly busy 4 way intersection which has the main road for one section of town, the highway entering into it, the mall road and 3 churches all in different directions by my house I use on a fairly regular basis to get to school. There are 2 turn lanes from my general direction. One is (theoretically) for the highway only, and the other is to go to the main road. Usually people are pretty good about this. This day... not so much. There is a bright red shiny truck firmly stationed with the dividing solid line for these two roads underneath the underbelly of his car, sticking a good headchunk over the line. Pretty much everyone near him is back about a car length from him, making me wonder what he was pulling before he got here, since the drivers around here tend to follow the pack method of driving, trying to clump as close as possible. He pulls off, keeping the line between him until the last possible moment and then veers off onto the highway.

So I was taking my sister and her friend to their fall social (middle schools have socials? I was unaware of this) And driving on the highway, when a green truck pulls into the lane behind me. He is quite obviously missing a headlight, (was almost nightfall) When a cop accelerates past us, then suddenly decelerates, turning on the lights and siren right next to both of us. I bite back a curse, and slow down, trying to think of all the things that could possibly be wrong (and not coming up with anything), when my sister points out that the cop has pulled over the guy behind us.
