Close call...
So I went to play golf this a.m. @ Rolling Green in RI. It's a nice little 9 hole course in North Kingstown RI. Well I get done around 1pm and its a beautiful day. I jump on 95 heading toward Cranston and of course people are driving like animals.
You've got people driving in the high speed lane doing 60mph and people trying to merge doing 75-80mph. Not a good combination by any stretch. Anyways I finally make it to the Elmwood ave exit (I live in Edgewood and usually cut through the park). Those of you from RI know this exit, its the one with a traffic light to go straight or left and a damn stop sign if you are bearing right.
I can't for any reason imagine why there is a need for a stop sign next to a traffic light. Anyway the light is green and I'm going right. I usually slow down and almost come to a complete stop but for some reason I kind of creaped slowly right through.
Just to the right out of my view is two Providence Police officers on motorcycles pulling people over for going through the stop sign. By the time I rolled through it was too late to stop. But get this, both officers were looking down talking to the driver & passenger of the car they pulled over.
By the time the officer looked up I was already next to them. He sort of gave me a look like "I know you didn't stop, but I didn't see you do it." That was a close one.
Just thought I'd share, if you do use that exit watch out and hopefully someone will feel better knowing that every now and then the good guys win one.
