Flashing Lights on a Truck

It was pouring down rain late this afternoon when I was driving down Hillsborough st. In Raleigh on my way to Mah Jongg class. I don’t mind driving down Hillsborough in the summer as without the NC state students it is practically empty.

The rain made it very dark even though it was just after five. I noticed a truck following very closely behind me with annoying flashing lights in the grill. At first I thought I was being pulled over, but I looked more closely and saw it was a work truck with a ladder on top. I also knew I had not committed a moving violation.

I tried to ignore the truck, but the lights were flashing right in my rear view mirror and the guy was right on my tail. What was the purpose of this, there were hardly any other cars on the street. As we went around the roundabouts I was able to see the writing on the side of the truck. I was trying to acess if it was an emergency vehicle that had to get by me.

The first round about I couldn’t quite read the lettering. The second one I figured it out. GOOGLE FIBER. You have got to be kidding me. It’s like they are stalking me, even in a different city.

What gives with those flashing lights? Why were they needed? Oh wait, where you on a run to fix something you screwed up? That is my only answer for those lights.

So far I have heard of five other houses just in our neighborhood where they hit the gas line. Someone is going to blow up. Those flashing lights won’t help you then.
