PTSD: Phoenix Traffic Stress Disorder

Phoenix Asshole Drivers #72

I don’t know on which of our many trips to Las Vegas the following incident occured, but it was definitely pre-dashcam.

My wife & I were driving back from Las Vegas, on US-93, just south of Wikieup, AZ. At the time, that section was one lane each way. A 55-mph no passing zone. And a construction zone (though it was inactive on Sunday.) There were eight cars in front of me, crawling. I floored it. Passed them all. Doing 100.

As I pulled back in, I remarked to my wife, “Good thing there’s no cops.” At the same moment, I looked in my mirror and saw flashing blue & reds. 😳

Police Car: red & blue flashersI skipped the first four stages of Kübler-Ross’s Five Stages of Grief — Denial, Anger, Depression & Bargaining — going straight to Acceptance: “I’m going to jail, and I’m okay with that.” The cop passed me doing 110.

It was one of the situations where you look around: What the fuck just happened? Then laugh, because you dodged a bullet.

I, of course, slowed way down. 30 miles later, we caught up to the cop.

What was his big emergency? Rousting a bum trespassing in another construction zone. 🤣

I still can’t believe it!
