Got pulled over for honking... at a cop.

[JeremiahJohnson]

Dear penthouse,
I was pulled over by this woman cop for being a little horny.....

That's funny right there!

 

[ArcadiaGP]

I've often wondered how honking at a cop would result. I've been cut off by bad cop drivers before, but never honked...

Hm.

 

[JollyMon]

I have gave an officer a little honk before..... but it was because they were stopped at green light

 

[Kirk Freeman]

Oh, to do that cross examination. *sigh*

Too bad I have already tasted blood this week. Time to fly back to the coffin.

To be honest, this isn't my first time. I've honked at a few others, but all because they were driving like idiots (like this one) and didn't have their lights on. Had she had her lights on, no big deal. When she doesn't, she needs to be driving like everyone else.

 

[BiscuitNaBasket]

Well, you know she has a bad argument when her "out" is "do you want a ticket?"

Cmon. Lay it on me...

Not even a "have a nice day dickhead" or nothing. Just "do you want a ticket" and then she walks away...

 

[hoosierdoc]

Or any Caribbean island.

So, failure to yield, illegal u-turn, and likely several other traffic violations, all because you tapped your horn?

She wouldn't last 5 minutes in Chicago or New York City. Folks use their horn more than their signals!

did she say why she was intending to catch up with that vehicle?

 

[THE BIG SITT]

I doubt there actually was another vehicle. My guess is that she simply wasn't paying attention.

 

[ArcadiaGP]

Wonder how it would have played out if she really did give you a ticket for.. uh... whatever reason she pulled out of her ass.

Just stopping you to intimidate you is a ****ty thing to do. "Did you seriously just honk at me, pleb? I'm better than you. You see this badge? It makes me more important than you. Know your place, scrub. Oh the things I could do to you if I really wanted (to lose my job)."

I didn't want to cross that line, but since you did... that is exactly as she came across. Stumbling through an excuse and trying to intimidate me. I am normally very respectful and appreciative of law enforcement (I've shaken an officer's hand AFTER he gave me a ticket) but she was disrespectful, so I wasn't exactly a nice guy either.

I have not honked at LEO but I have pulled up next to a few at the light and gave them the WTF look with hands in the air. They just look back and drive on.

That is why they wear the sunglasses. So they don't have to make eye contact after acting the fool.

For the record, IC 9-19-5-2 says the following:

The driver of a motor vehicle shall, when reasonably necessary to ensure safe operation, give audible warning with the horn on the motor vehicle but may not otherwise use the horn when upon a highway.

I think KY's law is very similar except it has a requirement that at least one out of every 20 drivers must honk their horn when going through a tunnel.

Dear penthouse,

I think printcraft just won INGO for today.

I couldn't rep either.

Ugh I remember this one dude speeding out of the Walmart on Co Line and Emerson across 3 lanes to get into the westbound turn lane. Had zero regard for everyone travelling north, just cut everyone off. I pulled up behind him, he reached up and turned his rear-view mirror so he couldn't see me.

Yep, as long as I don't look at the people I just pissed off, it's A-OK.

Maybe the sun was reflecting in his eyes?

 

[jbombelli]

Yeah. She was trying to catch up to another car. That's why she wheeled around and went after YOU.

 

[Kutnupe14]

One sided story, is one sided. Where was the "no u-turn" sign located?

 

[Doug]

In my experience, often LEO's will do anything they want just because they can.
I try to always be ready for any police car I see to do anything at all; I give them extra room, expect them to cut me off or turn in front of me, and never stay beside them on a multi-lane road.
They are dangerous vehicles; avoid them.
