And when we park that huge red truck sideways across the road with all the flashy lights, and set up traffic cones/road flares blocking the entire road they always pull up and ask us "is the road closed?" "Can I get through here?"
If he has been on the road for 25 years he has seen more than a few oblivious motorists and your story should seem quite plausible.
Not that I am implying that you are an idiot or anything, just relaying my experience.
Good luck and keep us posted.

Believe me I do feel like an idiot. One of the first things I told the cop was "you can call me stupid"
I really do normally check my mirrors often. Truth is I was feeling kinda carefree, (not careless).
