Default Got pulled over tonight...

some ********, 2 cars in front of me...decided to ABRUPTLY STOP and almost cause a 4 car pile up. that of course, pissed me off so i pulled into the other lane (using a turn signal ) ....the second i went wot, i look over and i was right next to a cop going the other way. i only accelerated from like 10-45 or so but i understand why he pulled me over. he told me " the front end of your car lifted up!" hahaha. i tried to hide my excitement with that but understood that i was driving like an *******. he came back to the car and just told me how it was a nice car and i should drive it like a nice car. he was really cool, just let me off with a warning and told me to drive safe. i guess i got really lucky. i couldnt have got a cooler cop, and i definitely understand that it was a dumb move....learn from your mistakes i guess

Thats why you turn your car off and coast to as top if you can. Atleast thats what I try to do w/ H/C/I Lt+ORY. When I got pulled over, I'm sure he felt the idle in his floor boards at the stop light before he flipped on the lights.

FYI: That is a good way to hit or be hit by somebody else that wants to fly around the stopped driver.

Next time turn the car off as soon as you stop. I have always turned the vehicles off, and with cars like ours it is even more important.

I have been pulled over multiple times with my Z28. No moving violations yet. Being respectfull and honest goes a long way.
