Apr. 2nd, 2013 08:41 pmMy daughter's choir is going to New York in two weeks so tonight was the parent's meeting.
On the way home we were stopped at a red light waiting to turn right. The middle lane was empty and there was a car in the left lane waiting to turn left.
I was not paying any attention to the other cars, other than the ones in front of us because when they turned, then I can turn. All of a sudden the driver in the left lane put their car in reverse and backed up SUPER FAST.
And THAT'S when I noticed that it's a cop car. My heart started pounding and my daughter, who is getting ready to learn how to drive, asked what I did wrong. I put my blinker on and was worried I was going to get a ticket, not that I did anything wrong (my car is only a year old so the registration and inspection is current) but the cop never turned his lights on so I felt I was okay.
The cars in front of me turned and when it was my turn I was doing my best to follow all the rules, luckily the light we were at has a right turn arrow.
As soon as I turned, the cop went flying past me. I breathed a sigh of relief that I wasn't in trouble. But even so, my daughter said, "Well, that just happened." And I couldn't agree with her more.
