i love/hate cagers.
My morning commute takes me down Sheridan Dr. from parker to the 190
entrance. I never go more than 5-10 over the limit on sheridan. on the bike especially.
last week, some guy gets out of his minivan while we are stopped at the delaware light and told me that i have no tail light…
news to me… had it inspected the prev. friday and it was fine.
i was thankful, and amazed that someone would bother.
so, i figured… great, as long as i get to work, i’ll fix it on lunch.
then… right as past the ball diamonds i was pulled over…
i figured it was because of the damn tail light.
well… sort of…
“we had 3 calls about a motorcyle driving recklessly down sheridan with no lights”
he must have been new, since he thought I could turn off my headlight.
after the 20 questions, 30 minutes, and 3 police cars…
i got to leave with my fix-it ticket.
i could care less about the ticket, because the lights are out and i missed it. plus, its not a real ticket.
but, to have people think i ride recklessly is annoying.
i dont even get above 6 k on my commute… when I do is on the 190 and i’m not much over the limit (5-10) and my chiken strips are over an inch wide.
he said he followed me from militay and did not see me driving recklessly, but since he pulled me over, he had to write a ticket.

I’m glad the town cops respond quickly, but i hate that people suck.
