They annoy me. Generally, these cheaters always choose to cut right in front of me. Instead of waiting to go behind me (when there's no car there), they dive into the small space between the car in front of me...and me. I assume they think this will help keep the cops off them, hiding in between two legitimate carpooling vehicles.
I had always wondered if they ever get caught, get ticketed. The other day I found out.
As I was driving up the ramp in the carpool lane, I looked at the very long line in the regular lane. All of a sudden, a car jumped right in front of me. I thought, "STUPID! And is there even a passenger in that car? Gah! I hope he gets a ticket!" A few seconds later, we make it up to the stoplight before getting onto the freeway.
And guess what we see?
That's right, the California Highway Patrol!
Bwhahahaha.
Stupid a**. Served him right. I see the driver pointing to the back of the car. The patrolman looks more closely (he's standing on the side of the ramp with about five other cheaters' vehicles) and then tells him to pull over!
That's karma, baby.
That made my day. Maybe it helped that he was a cute patrolman and he winked at me. Whatever the case, I fought the morning traffic with a smile on my face.
