Seeing Blue

Seeing Blue

We’ve all seen the “important people” parades of three or four police cars sandwiching a dark Mercedes Benz or BMW, with blue strobe lights on the dashboard, tinted windows, and the unique ability to stop traffic and meander on through traffic signals no matter the color… or the “CD” light blue colored diplomatic plates that catch your eye as they sneak past you at an intersection… but here’s a new twist for you:

While driving down Victoriei on my way to the Regilor this evening, I was being severely tailgated by a car.. It irritated me more than ever before in this instance for some strange reason, so I progressively slowed down more and more (first in an effort to let them pass me, but then in a more enjoyable effort to tick them off). It was after a “sudden decline in acceleration” on my part that I saw it…. the now flashing blue dashboard strobe light. Ooops. Get the photo copied passport out and the “stupid American” accent… I just angered the wrong person. As they whipped around the side of my car and began to overtake me, it was then when I noticed (to my pleasant surprise) that the “important person” was actually a teenager joyriding in a Dacia Logan with a flashing blue light inside the car.

Moral of the story? Who the f*#k knows….
