2 months ago this cop pulls me over for following this car to close that wasn't goin the speed limit and he was eatin a donut in his car cuz i looked in my rearview mirror while waiting for him to ask for my license and registration...

just this week I was hit from behing by someone looking down when they dropped their cigarrette. No insurance, no DL havin' LOSER went to jail and is now being sued.

Also a cop stopped a car for following too close in Melissa, TX and found 14 pounds of meth in the car.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/eek.gif.771b7a90cf45cabdc554ff1121c21c4a.gif

That reminds me of drivin home one day:
I was in the passing lane, and theres not much traffic. This jeep is commin up really fast (speed limit is 65, I was goin about 72, he was goin i'd guess 80+). I went to change lanes so he could pass me, but the asshat was too impatient and darted over into the right lane to pass me instead. So I sped up, and I was in the passing lane. I kept up with him enough that he couldnt get ahead of me and back into the passing lane. Comming up ahead was a big, slow-moving semi. I kept ahead of the asshat, and he had no chioce but to get behind me again. when I got up to where I was with the semi (and asshat couldnt pass), i slowed down to the speed of the semi (about 60). I rode like that for another 5 miles or so, when I had reached my turnoff. I stuck my middle finger up out of the window for him to see, and went home.

cuz your such a big bad wolf LOL

people wouldnt ever get caught if they had common sense. drugs in car, just act relaxed. i dont do it, never have, never will, so i dont have this problem its jut common sense. I like goin stiff passing a cop just for them to pull me over and search the car and find nothing and let me go. its a good late night laugh.

they wouldnt tail gate if you got out of the way...

if they are in that big of a hurry they can take the time to go around me. especially when there is no other traffic. But if im already going 5mph over the speed limit. dont get on my *** and expect me to go faster

Only one's I hate are the ones who tailgate u in the Carpool lane, when there's a slow car in front of u and they can see the slow car.

When your doing the speed limit in the fast lane, sorry for riding your ***. I am usually on cruise and don't want to shut it off lol.

 

[the727kid 10+ year member]

And usually I flash my brights when im 6-8 car lengths behind(if at night) and I know I'm coming up and if they still don't move, Imma tailgte.

hell yeah, that tenth of a second you WERE gonna save isnt gonna be worth it if you hit someone in the assend then they pull you out of your car and give you and assbeating! you could be like a month late to where ever you were going, not a good way to save time!

Hahaha, Id like to see that one.

I have metal bumpers and a vehicle that's cheap to fix, it'd be easier to find one at a junkyard to bolt on vs. them having to replace the front clip //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/wink.gif.608e3ea05f1a9f98611af0861652f8fb.gif

Still not worth the hassle. Moving out of the way is waaaay faster than that whole process. Even though I know what you are saying in your post.

Just slam on the brakes. Then don't get out of the car after they hit you. Tell them to call an ambulance because your neck hurts really bad. Get hauled away by EMS, get looked at by the doctor, who will always diagnose you with whiplash, call a lawyer, and sue the s**t out of them. Get a new car, and a fat "pain and suffering" settlement. My lawyer gave me the that advice. In his words, they really can't tell if you have whiplash or not, and no one can disprove that you're in pain. Oh, and unless your brake lights don't work, it will be the asshat tailgaters fault 100% of the time.

Right.........good luck with that.

I think we have a tailgater on our hands.

Honestly, if all of the lanes are wide open and I know I won't be going 30%+ above the speed limit, I'll stay in the middle or right lanes to give way to the faster traffic.

However, if the road is full of traffic and I'm driving in the left lane, keeping up with the person in front of me while maintaining a moderately close following distance, there's absolutely no reason for an asshat to zoom up on my bumper and follow my every little twitch like a fucking magnet. That kind of crap isn't going to get you anywhere faster.

If you like weaving in and out of traffic, be my guest! Just don't ride my *** for 10 miles before deciding to pass me.

Asshat.
