Can you just...

Read my mind....

by Wendy G


She was driving exactly on the speed limit, ignoring the driver behind who was tail-gating and flashing his lights, obviously annoyed.

As soon as possible, he started to overtake. Drawing level, he lowered his windows, shouted obscenities, and gave a vulgar hand signal. He then sped up.

She wound down her window, attached red and blue flashing police lights, and sounded the siren. Unmarked police car. Fines: "Intimidatory driving, body part outside vehicle, obscenity, and speeding."

She smiled. He didn't.
