A cop pops behind me, and I know the drill before it happens: they are going to turn on their lights and pull me over. They do. As soon as they walk up to my window I hand them a little piece of paper that validates my coveted &#8220;white stickers\u201d. They look it over, and send me on my way.\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>But that isn\u2019t the story! The fun part came the following day as I\u2019m driving up Highway 17 in a lot of heavy traffic. I\u2019m in the \u201cfast\u201d lane and see a motorcyclist splitting the lanes. He slows down beside my passenger window, and starts revving his engine to get my attention. Now, keep in mind my last encounters with motorcyclists hadn\u2019t been so great. I roll down my passenger window (which isn\u2019t easy), and the guy starts yelling at me: \u201cI saw the cop pulling you over yesterday, and said no! Don\u2019t pull him over \u2014 he\u2019s electric!\u201d. It made my day to hear him say that.
