Well, it finally happened; I got stopped by the police while driving. I had been warned that this could happen, but I was really hoping that it wouldn't.
I went out to a very nice dinner with my manager and two colleagues from the UK. It was a nice evening with good food and some live jazz music near the Sava River on the riverfront. The other three took a cab, but I had driven. I made a wrong turn going home, but eventually got on the right path. And then, I saw 3 cops in the middle of the road. They were not wearing the green vests of traffic cops. They motioned me to get behind their car, which was parked in the middle of the road. The cop didn't speak English, but what I got was that he said I was driving on the trolley tracks (WHICH I WAS NOT!). He kept saying "BAD!" and then pointing to the road. It reminded me of how you would yell at your dog. Anyway, I knew what he wanted, but I made him ask for it. 1000rsd. That is about $15. So I passed over the cash, and got home.
Gotta love Serbia.
