Maine police officer recounts texting driver encounter with 'Missed Connections' post
Published in Weird News
I don't like the song "Tusk" so I was not singing along. Who could sing along with that song? So, since I was unable to move forward from my light, I continued watching you. I felt creepy, but I was stuck there as well.
You provided the much needed entertainment that Stevie Nicks could not bring me. If it had been Supertramp, I would have been singing and might have never noticed you.
I looked down at the black siren control in my cruiser. The air horn button beckoned me. Inviting me to startle you to get you to move along. I couldn't do it. I wanted our eyes to meet organically. With no loud noise to interrupt our Chi.
When our eyes met, you were embarrassed. You knew exactly what I was thinking. You read my mind.
Yes, it is illegal to text while in traffic, even at a light. You blushed. I smiled. I mouthed the words, S-T-O-P I-T. You understood. You pulled forward and were able to get through the green light just in time for the two cars behind you to get to the red light.
We always hope for voluntary compliance. Texting while in a motor vehicle AND on the roadway is illegal. Even at a traffic light.
I hope you remember our time together.
Keep your hands to yourself, leave other people's things alone, and be kind to one another.
We will be here.
