What is the name of your state?
I am in Florida.
I would like for someone to offer their opinion. I was driving on the road and I was coming up to an intersection. An SUV came from behind me very fast and pretty much threw his car over two lanes, in front of a police officer, almost causing an accident because I was not too far behind. At this intersection, off to the side of the road, was another police officer. He had pulled over a car or something.
All I know is that the light turned green and this SUV, that was in front of me, wasn't moving. Finally he decided to move forward when all of a sudden about mid intersection he decides to come to a complete stop. So I honked the horn once. There was no one in front of him. So he decides to break hard in the middle of the intersection. So I went around him and put my blinker and got in front of him. I did give some room before I did the lane change. By all this I got upset, so I flicked him. NOt a GOOD IDEA, but now I know. The guy came around with his car, again driving recklessly, I might say. He then got next to me and pulled down his window, to show me his badge. He gives me twenty million excuses why he stopped in the middle of the road. One of them had to do with making sure is fellow officer was okay. Then he informed me that the only purpose the horn is supposed to be used is for an emergency. Then he threatened to get off his car to issue a ticket. He didn't give me a ticket but I feel he was wrong. Okay, granted, I was wrong for flicking him but that does not excuse his driving. What right's do I have? Am I not allowed to honk my horn and doesn't this country allow freedom of speech. Am I not allowed to express myself. Did I break a law? Please someone tell me. I was driving at the correct speed and as far as I know I didn't break any moving violations law. I would appreciate some feedback.
