Lucky for you lol the cops in my town try and find any reason to pull you over. I got pulled over at 1am for not making a complete stop at the stop sign even tho I looked both ways and there wasnt a car in sight. It was my first offense too and I didnt even get a warning he gave me a nice 130.00 ticket!!

Thats bs and its bad cause the same cop that pulled me over will fly through town like 50mph in a 25 no lights on, wont stop at the stop signs fully and doesnt use his turn signal either. I always have my camera with me now so I can catch him doing his reckless driving. That way when he pulls me over I can show him how he drives and endangers people on the road.

Well this just happened so why not. I work as a farm hand in the spring, summer and fall. Today we had to go out and bail straw in a really big field about 2 or 3 miles away from the hay barn. I got to drive the last load back and I got stuck with a slow tractor, so I pull out of te field onto the road; no cars behind me or in front. A mile down the road this lady is behind me honking her horn, now mind you this is a fairly big road not a small little country road. The trailers aren't even in the other lane and she has plenty of room to pass! I waved her to pass me about 6 or 7 times, and she is still back there honking her horn. So I slow up and pull over some and by this time I'm extremely annoyed and ticked off. She still won't f'ing pass! So I stop in the middle of the road, jump off the tractor and she pulls up next to me and she is really mad and says "Ya know I can't see around dem trailas" I say "Yeah I know, that's why I waved you to come around" Back to her "Ya kid I seen. I ain't blind, But I still couldn't see around dem trailas" I just looked at her like she was dumb for a minute and just jumped back on the tractor and left. She has to be the dumbest driver who I've come across while driving tractors back in forth on the road.

Some great stories here. The one above this is pretty funny I'd be pissed lol. Another thing people have mentioned is the left lane thing. I swear nobody around here knows that the left lane is for passing. Another thing I do is if there is construction and there's 2 lanes merging to 1, I'll sit in the middle of the 2 lanes so morons can't come flying up and get to the front of the line. Even then there are some aholes that go around into oncoming lanes to get around me.

These are all good reasons to own a motorcycle. You can get around people effortlessly and cops here in CT won't touch motorcycles. I was riding my room mates '09 zx10r and passed a cop doing 120+ and he never flinched or even thought about chasing. I let off and look back and he never moved. 1L street bikes are ridiculous but so much fun.

Yeah they wont around here either my brother in law was like on pa's wanted list like 6 years ago when he had his street bike lol. He said once you pass cops all you have to do is get past 130mph and they will have no chance

First off let me go on record that I don't have anything against people who smoke. But what I do hate is when they think the world is their ashtray. I recently found myself stopped behind a smoker at a stop light and they had their window down flicking their ashes out the window. No problem. But then they flick their butt out the window and think nothing of it. I made it a point to pass them and yelled over at them asking if their car was equipped with an ashtray. Needless to say I got the 1 finger salute in response.
