Secretly, I wanted a cop to pull him over, or for him to pick up a nail in his tire.
Watched a guy do this in a stopped highway. then I saw that he was stopping when he got up to a car. then would sit a while and let a bunch of cars pass him as he sat on the side of the road. Then he would startup and drive along passed the stopped cars till he got back up to the car that marked "his spot"
