“I wonder if the cop would believe me if I say they rear-ended me.”
That’s almost always the first thought that crosses my mind, especially as we begin to climb one of the few man-made slopes in our town.
The kids around here play a game to see how close they can get their front bumper to the person’s rear bumper without hitting them while at a stoplight. Since almost everyone drives automatic vehicles around here, they think of it as lighthearted fun.
There are times I seriously debate rolling back just enough to tap them—scare ’em a bit. But then I think of all the paperwork and insurance proceedings, and my scheme seems less attractive.
If I’m in a bad enough mood and have free time that afternoon, I’ve been known to stop and throw on my hazards lights, pretending to be broken down at the light so that they have to go around.
