You know all the times you say "Man, where is the cop when you need one." I was in Old Town, Fort Collins, CO making a U turn. For those of you that are not lucky enough to be in Colorado, fort collins old town is a "party town" Very similar to pleasure island in disney. 30 Bars/clubs in a town square area type thing. Very Fun.

Anyways, was making this U turn on Friday Night as the light for the side of the road i was turning into goes green. Some kid in a honda aparently had to floor his throttle off the light and then slam on his brakes and horn as I wasnt done with the u turn yet. Aparently he was in a major rush. As I complete the U turn he flys by and gives me the finger. What he didnt realise was that there was a police car directly behind him. He gets pulled over. So I pass him with a smile. I stop up the road and park. I walked back to check on the situation.

Aparently it is illeagal to "provoke" a driver (giving the finger, honking, yelling at them). So he gets a ticket for that. Then he is given a breathaliser and he was aparently .11....just over the legal limit, so he is arrested. The cop asked me why i was watching this and I was like "Oh, I was the one that he was shouting at and giving the obsene gestures to". The cops exact words "Nice H2, I have an 05 just like it.". I asked what was going to happen to the guy in the car and he was like "This guy is a jerk, he is going to jail tonignt."

Then we chated for a while about places to go wheeling and such, while the jerk sat in the back of the police van.

Awesome. Had to share that one.
