Here’s another one….

A couple weeks ago, someone was tailgating me as I was heading north on Rt 5 approaching the St. Mary’s College. I started to slow down as the speed limit dropped coming into the college area. The guy behind punched it and raced past me. I went on through college area and started to speed up again to head toward the Green Door and Cooks. About half way to the Door, I saw the same guy who’d just been pulled over. That was great I wanted to honk but I chickened out.

I've seen some wanna be cops driving those cars .

That's cool. I'm not totally innocent of "those" days, either. Although, they don't really happen much now that I no longer commute to work on 495. Drivers are nicer here than the beltway.

I have issues every day. Did not stop me from getting a ticket the week before I moved down here. So, because someone had a bad day, they can flip the bird and speed past a cop?

Its usually about being respectful. I'd say i am a little better than 50/50 at getting a warning when pulled over.

I got my first real ticket in February. Low-cut shirts work well.

usually the object is to NOT get the ticket, but what ever floats your boat, or knocks the little man out of it....

As long as he has issues.. I mean, as long as he was in a bad mood, if he had caused an accident out there that caused the death of someone's child it would be ok, becasue yanno, he was in a bad mood and all and we should forgive him

Or was the issue.. "He was a cop"

Sort of disappointed to hear this. Passing on the right, reckless driving, speeding. All issues aside, it really sounds like this guy deserved a ticket for at least something.

IMO, having a bad day doesn't excuse someone from driving safely.

Yeah, you're right. Probably what smcop rides around in when he's listening to his portable scanner.
