What is some of your Pet Peeve's

[masseyrider]

I've been pulled over in my Ford GT a couple times.
Not speeding, obeying all the rules (if they only knew ).
Both times they were younger cops and pulled me over because they had no idea Ford had ever built something like the GT.
They thought for sure it was Ferrari or something of that ilk but the info they got said Ford. The only identifying Ford logo is on the front hood and easily missed from any other angle.
Stolen car or plates...?
One of the officers asked if he could come by after his shift to take a closer look.
Sure, why not?
He's something of a piston head into the rice rockets. I just can't get into those.

I had one on my bumper like that several times.
One time, he tailgated me doing 50 in a 55, on a curvy road for 10 miles, from one little town to the next town.

It's enough to qiss a guy off. If I had done that to him, I would have been given a ticket.

I had one of those one night. So close his headlights where below my tailgate.
Literally a few feet behind me.
I suddenly hit the brakes.
I'm really surprised he didn't make contact.
He pulled me over.
Asked me what I thought I was doing.
I answered that a deer had leapt across the road in front of me.
He didn't believe me and checked me out thoroughly and grudgingly let me go.
It would have been funny if he had hit me (older truck at the time) having to explain why he rear ended me while I wasn't committing any violation.

Oh... but you would have been committing a violation, he just hadn't thought of it yet.

I was pulled over in TN for doing 72 in a 55 speed limit.
I told the officer I had just disengaged the cruse control and was slowing for the 55 when he pulled me over in the 55. He said "Sure you did", then he saw my Vietnam hat on the dash and let me go, no warning or ticket.

Often when they come up on your bumper it's because they are checking your speed, but there is no excuse to follow you for miles that way.

When I used to work in New York it wasn't unusual to be coming back through Vermont after dark. Invariably somewhere around Burlington I would have a car come flying up behind me and climb onto my bumper. "That's either a Trooper or a Massachusetts driver, and I'm not going fast enough for it to be a trooper. At the last minute they'd pull out and go by, invariably would have Massachusetts plates.

That's funny, my uncle had a house south of Burlington in MA and we always knew the MA drivers as they moved so slow on the west side of the state.

Now around Boston, that's where people drive like madmen, first place I saw it legal to drive on the shoulder during rush hour.

I've had them so close it looks like they're in the back seat. I want to yank up on the parking brake so brake lights don't come on then say how my neck hurts after impact!

I don't get it guys.

Are your vehicles really so slow that they can't only keep up, but even tailgate you??

You might out run them, but you can't stay outrun a radio!
