My day continued in the same vein

Picture this:

An undivided two way road, two lanes of traffic each way.  There is traffic in only one lane - the far right, going away from you.  You get in the left lane on your side, which is empty.  As you accelerate, a car pulls out of the right hand lane and makes a U turn from a dead stop, cutting you off.

That was my commute to work.  A car making a U turn (on a bridge, at a stop light, across three lanes) as I turned onto the road and started to accelerate.  I slammed on my brakes and managed not to hit him.

The driver?  A uniformed policeman in a county police cruiser.  Nice.  Way to go, PG County cops!  Holding up your reputation!
