Re: Encounter with Round Rock PD

Somewhat unrelated, but something that has remained a mystery to me for many years.

I drive Houston's toll roads enough to see this at least once per week: if the traffic is light to moderate (i.e., the very brief periods of "off-peak" commuting), you'll often see somebody who isn't content to even keep the speedometer in the 70s: he's really in a hurry. He'll tailgate, weave in and out of lanes, and do everything possible to get even a few car lengths ahead of the surrounding vehicles.

Then, lo and behold, as traffic nears a toll plaza, the guy cuts over two or three lanes to pay at a booth while most of the rest of the cars keep on keepin' on at 70mph through the EZ Tag lanes. And, yep; about ten minutes later guess who we see in the rear-view mirror bobbin', weavin', and lane-cuttin', drivin' like the proverbial bat out of the underworld in his rush to get to the next toll plaza ahead of us so that he can once again come to a stop and count out his quarters to get through the lift-gate.
