Its more fun, when you have manual trans, to drop couple gears(from 5th ->3rd) and let go the gas pedal. They will learn a fast lesson on how to brake.

But when you do this be ready to accelerate cause some of them are so dumb that they will rear end you.

 

This has to be the winner for the stupidest post to this site ever! Way to get someone killed! I am glad you are memorializing it online so that you can be sued by the survivors.

I for one can say that I have many family members and friends that are Troopers and they are the scariest drivers out there. I am good friends with over 15 of them. They forget that they are in their normal car and not the "unit." (the best term of all time ) Many cops that I know really dont give a damn about traffic laws when they are off duty.

 

and KPD- YOU GOT A MAJOR +1 MAN... We need more cops like you!!!!

You have me for another 11 months...although i have to admit the sheer butthurt in these threads makes me laugh... Do i give other cops a pass on traffic violations? yup..but then again i also give Firefioghters, ER nurses EMT's Soldiers, Sailors, Marines, Zoomies, and Coasties a pass as well...nevermind the THOUSANDS of tickets i DONT write to Jane or Joe Citizen. For me to stop you you have to so something really Stupid..for me to WRITE YOU you have to be a major A-Hole. And for the record i HAVE done other cops for DUI, and Domestics, as well as Family members, and PBA card holders.

I'll tell you, I do doubt any of us drive like the little old lady who only drive to church on Sundays, while I don't have a shield and don't really need or want one I do have to ask after reading this thread and some of the posts I have to comment a little. While I do have PBA and FOP cards, if I happen to get pulled over and one of the got me out of a ticket, fantastic, I would like to keep my clean record because even though NJM who I an insured with doesn't ding you in a ticket, I can do with out the fine and depending on type of ticket other associated costs.

 

Now for the people who don't want a shield or frown upon other who have them, it's really hard to cover all of them with the same stroke of the brush, not all are A-Hole ginornis SUV drivers.

 

Now before anyone comments, how many of you have been pulled over and the officer was going to give you a pass, or how about a violation that didn't incur points and said, NO, I deserve the ticket, give it to me. Come one, I doubt anyone here has ever done that. However if any of you have, would you care to tell us about it..

If I am on the Parkway and doing 80-85 and some A-hole starts tailgating, screw him. I am already doing 20 or 30 (they made it 55 by me nowadays) over the speed limit. If that's not fast enough too bad. He flashes his lights behind me.... brake check time. Some lady did that to me on RT 18 once, I brake checked her so hard she flew into the grass.

 

Cmon 20 or 30 mphs over isn't fast enough?

 

Why would you not just move over if you can? Really, are you the now the state's speed enforcer? Is it some kinda ego thing?

 

Failure to keep right is the law, just like the speed limit. So it's ok for you to violate the keep right law, but not ok for me to speed, and you are the judge.

 

F*ck that.

when i lived in italy i rigged my brake lights to a push button switch on my dash. That took care of tailgaiters easily.....

I did once Harry. I deserved a ticket for what I had done, but the officer was VERY nice about it and only gave me a seat belt ticket. He said he couldn't believe I had a clean liscense and said I better keep it that way. It's a long story, but it is the reason I got into Drag Racing!

All that isn't going to matter when I have you boxed in next to a car that's going 60 mph in a 65 mph zone now is it? You will be enraged, and I will be laughing while I watch you pound the steering wheel and curse and scream behind me. Then I will will watch you get even more pissed when I brake check you. Why? Because I can, because it makes me laugh. I might be a dick, but I don't drive like one until I see some idiot careening thru the lanes, no blinkers, tailgating, flashing lights, cutting people off, and acting like a fool. If you are that guy, get ready to get your commute ruined all in the name of my enjoyment.

the ultimate irony...

 

I (the asshole with the badge in his window) drives about the speed limit.. stays to the right except when passing... and avoids the rest of you, since the majority of you admit to strangely dangerous practices..

Oddly enough I JUST came across this on FARK. I hope to bring them to the highway soon!

 

Linkification

I don't think the officer did anything wrong, put that grandma in the right lane where she belongs!

 

I am and will always be a true believer of "keep Right Pass left". We don't need people swinging into the right lanes just to go around someone when they can cruize up one lane. People like to sit in the left lane for some retarded reason. In fact when i see no one on the road and someone sitting in the left lane and refuses to get over i have no choice but to sit behind them and flash my lights and honk my horn, passing on the right is illegal. The autoban is specifically set up this way to minimize accident ride the left lane and use your left blinker to signal those in front to either speed up or get out of the way.

 

Besides, a good radar detector works better then any gold badge in the window.

 

I guarantee that most drivers dont even know they can get a ticket for sitting in the left lane. If i was a cop, i would pull people over more for this and failing to use blinkers. If you have ever seen the movie "shoot em up" the best scene is when he gets pissed at the guy for not using blinker..

 

just because it forced the individual to move over does not mean there was not a better LEGAL course of action... is tailgating illegal? YES could he accomplish the same thing in another manner? YES

I am NOT the guy that careens thru the lanes with no blinkers. I don't flash lights, nor get pissed off, I will wait for an opening and get around you. And I will not return the favor, I will just go on my way. You can continue to be a dick to people if that's what gets you off. A lot of people do that when they are on the road, safely in their car; most dicks don't behave like that when they are face-to-face.

 

In any case, I didn't intend to get into a pissing contest with you, I don't agree with how some of my friends drive, but we're still friends.

pretty much the way your pissing and moaning about my pension makes me laugh Baba. Now how does that feel again???

So... back to the topic at hand: what's the point of these shields/decals in the windshield, if not to confer the owner added privileges of being related to/married to a police officer?

 

Why not just ban them altogether?

Here is a thought, don't do stuff that gets you pulled over and you don't need a card

Anyone that tries to teach someone a lesson with a motorvehicle at any speed is reckless moron.

Thank you for pointing that out, really sucks being on the road with a couple playing games in my car but it's even worse when I'm on my bike. Almost had some idiots take me out a time or 2 over the years.

 

Harry

Exactly. Not to mention, some people driving the speed limit in the left lane might be your parents, or my parents.

 

All the people on this board talking about muzzle awareness and trigger discipline but tailgating or retaliating for tailgating on a highway is fine. Some silly s"it right there.

Yea,,, What do you drive???
