At least he didn't get a ticket

It was not a smooth trip home for a Bristol man early Sunday morning. The man told police he was driving on Wood Street at about 1 a.m. when he was signaled to pull over to the side of the road by a car traveling behind him. He said the car, a gray, mid-1990s Nissan Maxima, had a blue flashing light on its dashboard. After pulling him over, the Maxima's driver approached his car and requested his license and registration. After he handed them over, he said the man threw the documents in his face, returned to his car and took off. The man said there were two men and a woman in the Maxima, which was last seen in the area of Wood and Bradford streets.
