The last ticket I received was on the 605 freeway a number of years ago. I was in the fast lane, basically keeping up with traffic. Out of the clear blue, a CHP pulled me over with a few other cars. When I asked the problem, the officer told me that he would not have pulled me over, except that I had to apply my brakes when a TRUCK pulled ahead of me into the fast lane. Now, IF that happened, which I could not even recall, it could not have been a big deal since I didn't even know what he was talking about. (Had I been required to panic brake for some idiot, I'd have surely recalled it.) Beyond that, why the heck was he bothering me? If some stupid jerk in a truck made an unsafe lane change, why was it my fault? My only conclusion was that I passed the revenue test and failed the preferred motorist category. still burns me to this day!!
