Run in with a Coca Cola truck

This is a little side story of something that happened to me and my cousin while we were driving.

I was driving with my cousin trying to do some last minute shopping before heading home. Looking for things like Pisco glasses (Pisco is the vodka of Peru), mixes of drinks and recipes and a bunch of other requests. Anyways so we are driving down this two lane street and there is this massive coca cola truck in front of us in the right lane. We were in the left lane.

Now you can't tell its a coke truck because its covered and has a painting of the Coca Cola trademark on it in red and white. You know the normal trucks you see here. It was basically an open truck piled with bottles of the coke as well as fanta, sprite and some other drinks. There was a guy sitting on top of this pile while the truck was driving.

My cousin tries to overtake this slow ass truck but the guy doesn't let us pass. When my cousin tried again the truck made an aggressive move into our lane forcing my cousin to break. BOOM!! There goes the side view mirror on my side.

After that my cousin speeds in front of the truck and stops to get out and confront the driver. We get out my cousin is screaming at the driver, who doesn't say anything. A woman also stopped her car and started to scream at the driver to pay for the mirror but he doesn't budge. Some guy ended coming out and complaining it was our fault and started to take down our license plate! Like he was taking our license plate down, I don't even think he wrote it down but he pretended to.

Eventually the sheriff of the town we were in arrived and we explained the situation to him. He asked us to move our cars off the road and then he called for back-up. A police SUV gets there like 5 minutes later. The two cops come out say hi and start asking us what happened etc... They asked my cousin and then the guys driving the truck. Oh yeah the old lady left a few minutes before the sheriff got there.

So the cops write down their notes and tell us to follow them to the police station to sign some documents, take an alcohol test and whatever other procedures they had. We were like ok sounds good and head for the car. When we get back on the road we can't see the sheriff's car or the police SUV. Nowhere to be found. We had no idea where the polica station is so we started to follow the coke truck.

We got behind the truck and then they started making weird turns. A quick left here, a U turn here, it was as if they were trying to lose us, but there were going 20 miles an hour! Anyways eventually they start going into residential streets an we had no idea why, there was no way the police station was around there. At one point the stopped the truck. Got out. And started to make a delivery to one of the houses!!!

On the way to the police station these guys were making deliveries!! I couldn't believe this, my cousin and I were completely shocked. The truck had zero intention of going to the police station. We eventually went and the cops that were suppose to escort us there gave us wavy excuses of why the truck didn't have to go. "They are doing their job". Complete BS. Like they are the police, but they didn't care. I've never seen this kind of indifference before, especially from the authorities. They probably got paid off, or maybe were expecting a few new cases of sprite when they got home.

My cousin signed some documents, but all the cops at the station suggested he didn't pursue it any further and to just pay for the repairs. It would cost more to do all the tests and pay for whatever they wanted. We tried to argue but there was no use, they just didn't care.

AMAZING.
