Whew.. almost got a ticket tonight

An officer on a motorcycle drove up to me after I made a right turn. He said you need to stop at the first line. You know you're driving an intimidating vehicle. You must think that gives you the right to drive like that. You're overdue for a moving violation. And then he rode off.

Glad to not get a ticket and apologized, but what's with the anti big truck attitude?

I was delivering Pizza one night (good summer job for students) in my sisters Sentra gutless car and the speedo was off so I was just kindof going about as close to the speed limit as I thought then all the sudden a Crown Vic is on my tail practically touching me scared the crap out of me he pulls into one of the turn lanes at an intersection and yells at me to slow down. Scared me pretty good lets say I am pretty careful about my speed. Can't afford a ticket, Wyotech is too expensive.

Sounds like he was just giving you a hard time and had not much else to do. The exact opposite happen to my brother when he was driving my truck one time. He was driving my truck right after I straight piped it and had a cop following him at a very close distance. He came to a stop light and the cop pulled up next to he yelling for him to "get on it and burn some rubber" and that he loved to sound of the truck.

He's just doing his job, and actually let you slide quite easily. I had motorcycle cop yell at me from the bushes one time, He yells "Hey Milhaus, you got money for a speeding ticket" and I yell back "No!". So he yells "Then try slowing down a little". I think I was doing 40 in a 35. I'm just glad I didn't have to shell out the $129. I figure it's a working man's break. Nothing personal.

Of course. That must be it because cops never really have anything to do but harass people.
