During overtime today, I responded to a telephone report of a DWI on the freeway. I was one of three units that responded. None of us found the DWI, which was probably out of our area before we were even dispatched.
While I was on the freeway driving to the call, I was passed by a blue Honda. Yes, you read that right. I was driving a marked police car on the freeway and was passed. Not a good idea. I sped up and started following the Honda. The freeway was busy, but moving. The Honda was going 85 mph, weaving in and out of traffic without signaling. I finally caught up with the Honda as it almost rear ended an SUV and abruptly changed lanes cutting off another vehicle. I went around the traffic and pulled in behind the Honda and activated the lights. The Honda pulled over on the left shoulder of the freeway.
After letting the dispatcher know about my traffic stop, I walked up to the Honda. I found three girls that looked like they were headed out clubbing. I asked the driver for her license and insurance which she provided. They I asked her why she was driving like an idiot. She said "I am starting my menses, my female time, my period." It was so kind of her to say it three different ways, in case I did not know what she was referring to. She then said that she was trying to get to the hotel to take care of her issue. I looked at her license and she lived locally. Since we were on the side of the freeway, I did not want to spend the time figuring out why she was going to a hotel when she lived here.
I wrote her a ticket for speeding and making a lane change without signaling. When I handed her the ticket, she looked shocked. I think that she had used that excuse before and it had always worked. Not this time honey.
