Today as I exited the freeway, I realized I had a CHP right behind me. I wasn't speeding, had signaled, plates current, so no reason. So I thought I was being paranoid. I signaled to turn right. Then he did. Next stop sign, I signaled to turn left. Then he did. Next stop sign, I signaled to turn right. Yep, he then signaled to turn right. Guy stayed right behind all the way to the private road back to my place. We're far from the freeway, back on country roads at this point. Definitely NOT a coincidence. And I felt a little intimidated, to tell you the truth. It's not the first time they've done that.
So later this afternoon I headed over to the CHP substation a few exits down the freeway, parked, and went to the desk. I told the guy on duty that I had my Roadster out front & "clearly it was of high interest to the guys on patrol since I was getting followed a lot". I told him about earlier today. I offered to come back at a time convenient (like say a shift change) so that everyone could see it, possibly drive it, ask all the questions they wanted to ask - because, again, I was getting followed a LOT and that never happened in my Jeep, so obviously there was curiosity. And it was bothering me.
Hahaha. Anyway, no I don't need to come back. He apologized that I was getting followed and felt it necessary to stop by for a show and tell. And it won't happen anymore. We'll see. But at least I felt better about it.
