Default I lucked out...

Passed this feller camped out on the side of the highway (access road) going... Unslow. Sure enough, he pulled onto the highway. I merged over into the slow lane fully expecting him to pull me over. He pulled right up beside me, raised his coffee, nodded his head, and kept on his way. Cheers to you too buddy. My radar detector never went off so either I wasn't clocked or he hit me with LIDAR and the detector didn't catch it, either way I was ready to accept the responsibilities of my actions.

No, it was the passenger sitting in the back seat behind the driver who took the picture.

I recently had a state trooper pull up next to me and starting waving his hand for me to nail it. As you can guess I was a little confused. After exiting and coming to a light he pulled next to me and he asked what mods I had. He was a corvette enthusiast. When he pulled off he said "Run the $hit out it man"

Oh, you obviously did miss the joke. And now you're trying to cover up your miss. But that's okay, not everyone has the same sense of humor. In fact, some don't have a sense of humor at all.

I was driving home to NJ from Bowling Green. At night. Driving through PA I'm coming up on a car at night driving at the speed limit in the left lane. I was going a "little faster" so I flashed my lights a few times to get it to move over to the right. As I approach it moves over so I continue speeding. I move up next to the slower car, look to my right and it's a state trooper. Needless to say I was mortified. He looks at me and just motions with his hand to slow down. That was it. I was sure I was getting pulled over, but nothing happened. I waited until I couldn't see him anymore before I stepped it up again. He rode along with me for awhile and then pulled off at an exit.

While headed home from a 4th Weekend trip yesterday, some a$$hole in a white POS Ford baby station wagon looking something came charging up on me on a two lane with limited passing chances. He tailgated me at 75 plus for miles. Pi$$ed me off. Two highway crossings had 4 way stops and even though I had my 78 yr old Mom in the car, I put a couple of miles on him at each one! He eventually caught up with me in a small town and passed me in a zone known for heavy enforcement. Yep several miles after he passed me, BLUE, WHITE, RED lights were all over him. I rolled the window down, honked and waved as Mom and I rolled by!
