On my way home after a 12 hour day, I'm waiting at a traffic light, needing to turn left on a major highway. Road I'm on is 2 lane, and ahead there's a left turn lane that can fit 4 cars. I'm a ways back in the lineup and expect to go through another cycle of the light before I get there. Oh, well, I'll get there eventually ...

A large late model truck, a bit loud (obviously custom mufflers), and jacked up (lifts to make a tall truck taller) is a few in front of me. He gets impatient, crosses the double yellow line into the oncoming lane (no cars were visible in that lane), and cuts back into the left turn lane. Yeah, impatient!

His action wasn't exactly dangerous, as no cars were coming, but it was stupid, and illegal.

Dude should have been more observant -- directly behind him was a police car. Blue lights come and the cop follows him, and sits right behind the guy in the left turn lane for 3 or 4 minutes. The guy in the truck gets to ruminate on his poor decision making process.

The light cycles, traffic clears, we all turn left -- the guy in the truck pulls over with the cop behind him.

I was tired, but I drove the rest of the way home with a smile on my face. I wish I had a dash cam to preserve that scene for posterity.
