Yelling at a cop this morning...

[blktoptrvl]

I was in the right of two left turning lanes (car A).

Light turns green.

I proceed to make my turn.

Before I can complete the turn, I have to wait because car (D) goes across the middle lane into the left lane. He is followed by car C who blows through the yield sign and also jumps into the left lane.

After they clear out of my way, I proceed down the middle lane which is clear of all cars (all of the cars getting onto the ramp from the left and right turn lanes are jumping into the left ramp lane.)

And of course, some of the people who jumped into the left are now blowing their horns at me because they are pissed that I am going to be in front of them. As usual, I ignore them.

Suddenly car C (undercover cop) comes flying up behind me with his lights on, so I pull over onto the shoulder at position (B)

The cop stops on the road in the middle lane and starts yelling at me (“you can’t do that!!!) Me, still pissed that he blew the yield and cut me off yells back “Yes I can,” and I just stare at him.

He decided to continue down the ramp to merge onto the highway. I jump right on his tail and follow him onto the highway.

In a few more feet, I catch up with him because traffic ahead is stopped. So, I roll down my window and look at him again. He says “You can’t do that, you broke the law, you jumped ahead of 4 or 5 cars when you are required to merge.” So, I yell back, “are you nuts, I was in my lane which was clear, and they were in their lane stopped. There was nothing illegal about anything I did.”

Then traffic ahead clears, he shakes his head at me, and drives on.

I was pissed for quite a while and thought about calling his command.

OK somebody tell me why the cop had a bug up his butt this morning? What is it he thinks I did wrong?
