If you're going to change lanes and jump in front of someone you'd be advised to make sure it's not a police car.
He must have seen the terror in my eyes as he just said, "Make sure you look in your mirror."
But I did look in my mirror and saw the police car, but he was a long way behind. I'm sure it wasn't as close as he claimed. "This close!" I had to resist the urge to say, "Yes, sir, sorry, sir, forgive me, sir."
The bit of road he wanted me to stop on was mostly double yellow lines. Fortunately there was a little pull-in place I could stop in, but if I'd stopped on the double yellow would I have got in trouble for that too?

Yesterday Husband woke up in a blood-soaked bed. It seems the injection he's been having in his stomach to stop clotting was working too well.
The coronary care consultant popped in when I was there in the evening. Said the echocardiogram would probably happen today (Monday) and they'd nag the max fax people to come and check his teeth, so hopefully by this evening we'll have a better idea of what's happening.
Husband's consultant surgeon's registrar also popped in. They are aware that Husband is in and are expecting him at some point so it's all looking positive. It just depends when they can find a slot for his operation.
When Husband was in hospital for a week at a time having chemotherapy back in the 90s we played the travel version of a game called Enigma, where you have to work out riddles. I dug out the game and took it in yesterday. We must have been smarter thirty years ago because we struggled to do any of them!

I hope they can fit in Husband's operation soon!
Oh my! So much is going on. This is difficult, and I wish you well.
What happens to our brains is an enigma.
Anvilcloud has me groaning. You and Husband have me concerned. We can only hope for a slot, soon.
I hope so, Debra.
Thank you, AC
Indeed, CopCar. It should be soon. I hope.
I think it's very hard to do puzzles with a stressed out brain! Let's hope they get that surgery scheduled. Soon.
Did you get a ticket or just a warning, I hope.
Your husband sounds like he has a lot of issues - I hope they get fixed ASAP!
I hope they fit in hubby’s surgery soon, Liz. Take care!
Things will have to settle down soon!
I published a paper in Cryptologia a decade or so ago showing i.a. how to cryptanalyse a Pocket Enigma. With pencil and paper even.
I have often driven by police officers who are sitting and waiting to catch speeders. Of course I'm always going a little too fast and then have to hope they weren't paying attention
