Do y'all have rotaries? It's just a big arse circle, around which are exits. Could be 3 exits or 8. Some rotaries are very tight and you can barely get your car around it.
I was approaching a rotary on the way home from work. During rush hour. In BOSTON. Where everyone seems to drive with their damned eyes closed.
The road I was on approaching the rotary is two lanes. I was in the wrong lane and neeeeeeeeded to get into the left lane but not one of the friendly Boston peeps one would let me in and I was too grumpy to charm them so I plotted.
Cars were taking too long to merge. Dang, GO already. No one in the rotary will ever slow down to let you go.
Ugh. Waiting, waiting, waiting. I was not going to sit all night waiting for one of the 20 cars going around the rotary to give me permission, I pulled into the rotary and over to the left lane.
Then all I saw were flashing blue lights in my rear view.

Why is this cop at a rotary??? Aren't there criminals to go catch?
Even looking at a ticket, I was in no mood to be charming so I did not say a word. Just gimme the ticket already and let me be on my way. I'll appeal it. Whatever.
He told me that I cut off multiple cars in the rotary and ... by the way, did I know one of my brake lights was out. He went on and on and on about the brake light. :facepalm:
I just handed over my license and registration. I had nothing to say.
He came back a few minutes later with a warning for the brake light. Tells me the rotary cut off would have been a $150 fine but he was letting me go on that one. Then he gave me another lecture on the brake lights.
What I took from this? It's ok to cut off everyone in sight, just make sure all of your brake lights are in working order.
Then .. "all I ask is that you're careful in the rotary next time."
"Ok," I said, lying like JA. "I will."
lol
