I was driving home at 7pm minding my own business, driving like a sane person and going the speed limit. Traffic is about a 6 out of 10, so not too crazy.

I make a turn onto a 3 lane road and suddenly some jerk in a truck is behind me with his brights on. So I hit the blinker and changed lanes. He matches my lane change and gets closer...real close! Like right on my bumper. Now Im practically being blinded.

So I changed back to my original lane and he matches again....I changed lanes 5 times in 3 miles and this jerk is right on me. I was actually starting to get worried this person was actually going to follow me home.

Then he turns on his red and blue lights....

I pulled over immediately and he walks up to my window and asks for my license. I handed it to him and said "you know I was changing lanes because your brights were on and I was being blinded" by the way he was driving a Chevy Tahoe and my Z is lowered.

He says "yea but you cant change lanes that quickly"

I said "sir, again you were blinding me and following me"

He says nothing and asks for my registration and insurance...walks back to truck.

As he is taking my info a huge car accident happens about 200 yards behind us. He walks up gives me a warning and say "if we catch you changing lanes like that again we will give you a ticket. Doesnt matter if you use your indicators or not"

I said "ok" and he speeds off to go back to the crash behind us.

lol. Im glad I didnt get any ticket but what total BS reason to pull someone over. Im going the speed limit, using indicators, and changing lanes normally..what else do you want?! 90% of people on the road cant even do that, and he singles me out. end rant
He would lose in court.Did you get his badge number and talk to the District Attorney?? Id like to see what is codified in your state about lane changing. No judge would let a ticket stand if you are not speeding and simply change lanes. If thats all the officer has he has NO CASE. He basically forced you to avoid him at speed. He never early on, showed he was law enforcement. Harrassment plain and simple. I bet you will find him on the same road again. Id get his badge and file a complaint. I wouldnt at all be surprised he has other complaints. People are creatures of habit. He is no different. Law enforcement gets my full respect but if this is true he needs some serious retraining. NO excuse.
Leadfoot and GaleForce like this.
