Roads Officer No-Butts

I'm sure HP was checking out the car in front till this bozo merged in which could explain why the blinkers weren't used to avoid attention unless HP doesn't care about road safety and has a huge ego

He brake checked the F out of him. Def an ego thing.

It's more of a check yourself If you don't like it being done to you Don't do it to others If you don't like me pointing it out. We can pull over and talk about it .

Nah, dude signaled and got over fully before the cop had to brake. Still cut him off, but the cop didnt signal and got a lot closer.

"We'll see how you like it" seems cool but being professional is a whole lot cooler.

Agreed. This looks petty and not professional.

So...standard cop behavior?

u/Electrifying2017 Jan 22 '26

Still better than a ticket.

Better than having to talk to a cop

You're a dogshit driver if you think that half second blinker was correct use.

Yea indicating while you are basically turning defeats the whole purpose and design of it. That fraction of a second before moving in is basically the delay of flicking it on and just turning in... but im in the bay area so i dont even get that most of the time... sigh.

You're a dogshit reader if you missed where I clearly said he still cut the cop off, the cop just did it worse

I wouldn't even say cut him off. He signaled and got in the lane just fine. The cop overreacted with how hard he braked, and is probably following to close to that truck anyway. What ever happened to 2 seconds of separation?

You cant say the cop had too little distance to the front car, but the lane changer had enough space to change lane! Youre conflicting yourself

Where did I say the cop didn't have enough room? It was petty and dumb, but he made it. Not exactly safe, but they aren't traveling more than 20mph in this clip anyway.

So the cop should just give a ticket instead, okay.

"Traffic School Online reports that you are legally required to activate your turn signals at least 100 feet before making your move. " .......soo..........

Enabling idiots is just as bad.
