You know that chill you get up your spine when you look in the mirror and a lit-up Highway Patrol car is coming up behind you? You start thinking "Oh man, what did I do?"
Other than an open rest stop on I-10 after 200 miles, I don't think there is any greater feeling of relief as when that car swings around you and you realize that you weren't the target. Just felt that relief on the way in this morning. He was behind me on a metered freeway onramp which was moving pretty slowly, no room to pull over, so the agony was palpable.
He was moving with quite a purpose to get on the freeway, apparently to provide some backup to the white CHP car on the shoulder. Must be one heck of a beligerent HOV violator in that grey Honda.
