So I'm leaving work yesterday and I normally make a right onto Kolb to head home. Instead I was headed to my boyfriends house so I made a left onto Kolb. Leaving the station we're on a business road so I don't come out at a light. You know how Kolb is divided? Well I went to jump across to head south when a police car came speeding up so I ended up stopping in the middle waiting for him to pass. He quickly turned into the left turning lane in front of me and I went on my way. Apparently there was another police car behind me... the ones with no lights on top so you dont really notice them. Sneaky! As soon as I was on my way, so was he with his little flashy lights on the dash. I pull over into a neighborhood to get off Kolb and await my verdict. He slowly inspects my filthy van, peering into the windows which made me take notice as to how filthy the inside is as well. Got the standard "license, registration and proof of insurance."  Is there a reason you pulled me over I asked... "Yes... there's a reason." Ok... I was sure I was going to get a ticket at that point. After he pointed out that I gave him last years insurance card and then found my current one he told me that I was "blocking the intersection with nowhere to go." It made me chuckle a little but he assured me that's what it's called. I explained that I had a clear shot across until the other cop came flying up which made me stop. He shamed me for a bit while I apologized as much as you do to a policeman hoping to not get a ticket. He asked if I have ever gotten a ticket before... wish I could say never, but it's been quite a while. He then told me it was my lucky day and to not do it again. "Yes sir! No sir I wont! Thank you!"  Sigh of relief. Who can afford the extra expense of a ticket let alone the hassle of it. So  now I'm here to educate you from my experience. If you ever pull out into the middle of the road or sit in the middle lane waiting to get over it has a name. "Blocking the intersection with nowhere to go."  Now we know. =)
