Exceptional Can you just... Read my mind.... by Wendy G 80 Word Flash Fiction contest entry

She was driving exactly on the speed limit, ignoring the driver behind who was tail-gating and flashing his lights, obviously annoyed. As soon as possible, he started to overtake. Drawing level, he lowered his windows, shouted obscenities, and gave a vulgar hand signal. He then sped up. She wound down her window, attached red and blue flashing police lights, and sounded the siren. Unmarked police car. Fines: "Intimidatory driving, body part outside vehicle, obscenity, and speeding." She smiled. He didn't. Recognized Author Notes (81 words) Tailgating involves driving without a sufficient distance between vehicles. Driving with hands (or any part of the body) outside a moving vehicle is illegal in all states of Australia and can result in some hefty penalties. Public obscenities can incur a fine as well.
