I was run off the road by a State Cop tonight.

The commute home includes a mountain climb on a busy road with a small shoulder. I'm nervous going up this section, because the cars are fast and there is nowhere to go if a car decides to skirt the shoulder. If a car honks the horn on this section it makes me jump.

I was on the right of the fog line (off the road) with a steep grassy bank going up next to me. I heard a car coming behind me (as usual), but just before he got to me the cop hit his siren. I jumped out of my skin, tried to pull over more, hit the grass and fell over onto the bank. The cop went past - never noticing that I fell. The fall wasn't hard because the steep bank prevented me from going far. It was just a scare and an embarrassment.
