What a weird morning.

I saved a bee from drowning this morning...and then got stopped by a cop on my ride in to work for using my turnsignal before changing lanes. What a weird morning.

I realize that most of one's running commentary while on the road involves snidlely noting how it's such a shame that the manufacturer of (usually expensive car) couldn't be bothered to include directionals on that model. I had not realized it was now illegal to use said directionals.

WTF? What did the cop say to indicate you were doing something not appropriate?

Err.. trebled confusion. You got pulled over for -using- your signals!?

I think that by the time we'd found a safe place to pull over, he realized I'd signaled to change lanes & get out from in front of him as he was tailgating me & I'd wanted him to go around - so no ticket, no 'warning', just a discussion at the side of the road while he examined my 'papers' (and bonus - I got to educate on how/where to find the inspection sticker on a motorcycle license plate as there was some initial confusion).

I tell you what though, that joke about if he'd hit me there would have been a lot of paperwork - that sure was funny. %-/

PS-Unmarked car, though I still would have signaled & changed lanes if a marked car had been tailgating me, too.
