Mr. State Trooper was back again this morning. I had a run-in with him on the rural roads near my office back in December. Nothing from the PA this time. I made him wait as we approached a 90-deg. sharp left curve, with other traffic oncoming. After the curve and traffic I waved him by, and he threw a little tantrum by flooring it around me (still a full lane change, though). This was a Chevy Tahoe SUV highway patrol vehicle, BTW. Guess he was none too pleased about having to slow down for TEN WHOLE SECONDS.
I am glad there was no PA belly-aching from him today. I always find it funny when people fail to see the difference a few seconds makes, especially the people who floor it and peel out between lights. Only for my grandmotherly driving habits to see them at the next light. As many of us know patience is a virtue.
