What are the odds?
So I was stopped on Santa Monica Boulevard, under the 405 overpass, waiting to turn south onto the freeway, at about 11 p.m. the other night. Also stopped under the overpass, stopped and waiting the next lane over in the opposite direction, was a California Highway Patrol car. I looked over and realized that the chippies were driving with their headlights off. So I tooted the horn, rolled down the window and pointed at their headlights, saying "Your lights are off." The officer driving looked quite embarrassed, flicked on the lights and muttered "thanks" as his partner began ripping on him.
Driving without lights -- something you might expect from the LAPD, but not our beloved chippies!
