The crazy/scary thing about the lady with the “no right hand” situation and supposedly texting while driving is that once the officer realized he was wrong, instead of just admitting it, he let his ego take over and still proceeded to give her a ticket anyway.
Some people may look at it like “it’s not that deep,” but honestly it is.
Because if someone’s ego is too big to admit they were wrong in a small situation like that, imagine how that could show up in bigger situations involving other people. Ego makes people double down instead of self-correcting, and that’s dangerous.
