There are few things in life\u00ad that makes me as happy as seeing someone busted for violating the HOV lane.\u00a0 So imagine my pleasant surprise this morning.<\/span><\/p>\n

Traffic was especially sweltering, probably due to the fact that in the state of Georgia, it\u2019s spring break for most schools and colleges.\u00a0 After the section of Interstate 75\/85 known as the \u201cGrady Curve,\u201d there are occasionally strategically placed cops sitting in the shoulder, attempting to capitalize on unsuspecting HOV lane violators who can\u2019t see them just ahead, only to come out of the curve to see them way too late to even attempt to get out of the lane for their indiscretion.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t even suspect that the brand-new 7-Series BMW with temporary tags in front of me was violating the HOV lane.\u00a0 I wouldn\u2019t have been able to tell, since despite the newness of the vehicle, no time was wasted at getting the side and rear windows tinted.\u00a0 I didn\u2019t really think much of it either, considering it had literally been years since the last time I actually witnessed someone getting busted.\u00a0 But then I saw the cop, immediately after coming out of the Grady Curve; he must have felt like being extra vigilant this morning, or he was enjoying the morning weather of high-60s and pollen counts slightly lower for the time of day, because he was outside of his car, facing oncoming traffic, vigilantly looking into the front windshields of the parade of cars, seeking out those with only one warm body in the driver\u2019s seat.<\/span><\/p>\n

As we crawled closer to the cop, I noticed that his head was following the BMW in front of me.\u00a0 This, I did notice, because typically they\u2019re stoic and maintain vigilant to all cars, so maybe he just caught someone.\u00a0 Upon passing the cop, I glanced in my rear view mirror and saw the deliberate motion of the officer removing his hat, and his body lowering itself into the cruiser.\u00a0 At this point, the BMW in front of me quickly got out of the HOV lane.\u00a0 Glancing back again, the cruiser had begun moving, and was entering the dearth of morning traffic.\u00a0 The lights popped on, and I let out a rejoice and a fist pop simultaneously, as the police cruiser sidled up right behind the BMW and initiated ownage.\u00a0 Passing the BMW now, I glanced over to indeed see, just one person, a pompous-looking black guy, with nobody else in the vehicle, with a deep cringe in his face \u2013 QQ moar, noob, your arrogance just got you busted.<\/span><\/p>\n

So imagine my pleasant surprise indeed.\u00a0 Black guy douchebag in douchebag BMW 7-series, brand new, but already its windows tinted to obviously obscure visibility into the vehicle, still gets caught and busted for violating the HOV lane, meant for responsible carpoolers.\u00a0 After running behind and feeling cranky, it was the perfect remedy for turning my morning around.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
