I was driving on a local highway on Monday and saw a black car parked on the side. My basic instinct is to move to the inner lane and ignore the car. I figure if it's broken, I can't hlep it, and if it's not then the driver must be up to no good. Well as I pass the car, a guy start walking onto the inner lane. I was thinking, this guy must be crazy, but I am the only car around. Then I see him waving at me, and I was thinking -- do I stop? what if this guy is psycho? He kept walking so now I am like, this guy definitely lost it.
Well, turns out this guy was waving a speeding gun at me and he was a cop. He and his partner has two bikes behind the black car and they were writing him a ticket. I was concentrating on the car that I didn't even notice the bikes behind it. (There were no flashing lights or anything) I didn't even know police men use motorcycles on a highway and is it legal to stop someone without flashing lights? He gave me a ticket for going 100 km in a 80 km lane. Afterwards, Mattie kept saying, policemen on motorcycles not in police cars.
I filed for a court date to talk to the judge. I think I reacted to too much CSI shows thinking this guy is trying to kill me and not realizing he is a cop. I guess I also am used to cops wearing blue and have shiny badges. It's just another freaky episode in my life.

Yikes! I don't blame you for being concerned. I would have been, too. Sorry to hear about your ticket.
