I was driving home along McKnight on Saturday night, through the construction, this guy in a red sports car, flies by me on the right. He pulled in behind the van in front of me, then decided he had enough time before the far right lane ended to get infront of the van so did. At the top of the hill (going over 36th street) two cops walk in the middle of the street and pull the guy over. As I drove by when he was talking to the cop, the cop was reaming him out and the guy seemed clueless to what he did wrong.

Finally the cops were there when I wished they were!
I had something similar on John Laurie.

I was driving along McKnight and further ahead saw and unmarked police pickup pull a u-turn over the median (he turned his lights on when he did this, otherwise I would not have known it was a police vehicle, even when I pulled up behing him at the next light). Traffic was moderate to heavy, everyone going about the speed limit but changing lanes wouldn't get you very far, so I just stayed behind him all the way onto John Laurie. Going by Nose Hill a car comes up from behind, lane hopping like crazy as he wove through the traffic as quickly as possible. A soon as he darted past the pickup, the pickup pull ed behind him, turned on the lights and pulled him over.
