We were headed to Jerusalem today to witness a political party rally prior to the February 10 elections. We got a late start because of a long day of work and then I wasn't paying attention and headed north on the highway instead of south. I righted the ship, but had to pull a quick u-turn at a stop light when I got off the Ayalon Freeway. As soon as I made the turn, a cop in the street ordered me to pull over. I played dumb American hoping he would just wave me through. He switched to English and told me to park up ahead. When I did, a woman came up and told me that I was pulled over for the u-turn. Again, I played dumb. She asked for my license and I handed it to her...along with my diplomatic ID card. She looked at it and gave this look like, "well, I'm powerless to do anything against you if you have this card" and she told me to just not do it again. Turns out, she was totally within her rights to issue me a ticket.
Dodged one.
