Jerk of the Day Got His

[Yaris Hilton]

I was headed down to the local Lowe's near sunset yesterday, and stopped at the traffic light to wait to turn left onto the Volunteer Parkway here in Bristol, Tennessee. When the light finally changed, a guy headed south on the Parkway in a small Lexus had to stop and wait. I pulled out and started cruising in the right lane at the 35 MPH speed limit, as I always do. Behind me, the light changed and the Lexus roared off. He zoomed up to catch me, and though the left lane was clear to pass, he got right on my bumper and aggressively tailgated me. Perhaps he was mad at me for triggering the light and making him stop? As I got to the gentle downgrade approaching Med One, he suddenly whipped left, floored the gas and roared around me. WHOOOM! He whipped back over into the right lane 100 feet in front of me, and from the Med One parking lot a police car zipped out and got right on his bumper! The cop stayed on his bumper for .3 miles or so, and while the guy in the Lexus slowed down, they were still putting distance between me and them as I cruised the posted speed limit. As they passed in front of Lowe's, where I was headed, the blue lights came on. The cop made the guy pull down into the Food City parking lot and ticketed him in front of all the grocery shoppers, while I went into Lowe's and went about my business. Hee, hee, hee.
