I used to drive for a flower shop and was on the roads around town all the time. I wasn't exactly on the road when I saw this, though. I was loading the van and noticed a police car sitting at the corner of an intersection right by the shop. I knew he was sitting there waiting for a funeral procession because it was something I saw all the time and there is a funeral home just up the street from there.
So while I'm loading the van and the policeman is sitting there a man in an old, ragged out truck drives slowly through the intersection blatantly running a red light. He noticed the police car and then decided to put the truck in reverse and back up through the intersection while the light is still red. Almost as soon as he'd backed back up to where he would have been if he'd stopped like he should have in the first place, the light turned green and he pulled out again. This time the policeman, visibly shaking his head, pulled out behind him with his blue lights flashing.
That policeman already had a job to do and I just know that if the guy hadn't backed up like he did he would have gotten away with running that light the first time.
