I cut -off a unmarked State Patrol car on the freeway in my old '64 bus once. He followed me to a gas station and confronted me" Did you know you cut me off back there?" he demanded.
I was shocked , as I had not seen him on the freeway when I almost missed my gas exit and maneuvered toward the off -ramp (quite a feat in a splittie. )

I apoligized profusely and told him how it's hard it is to see behind a old bus.  
The Trooper replied" That's alright, I know, I used to own one".
