Cop was not amused and my tires still smelled like burnt rubber after the 10 minutes it took him to show up, Got off for free, guy with tail lights out bought a nice penalty ticket.

As crazy as it sounds and after watching a news report on highway safety, it has been determined that high way driving is about ten times more dangerous than city street driving. People can argue with me about this but the bottom line is the faster these morons drive, the less time they have to react to emergency situations because they are TAILGATING at 70++ MPH while yakking on cell phones, eating Cheetos and reading a newspaper all at the same time. Good luck out there.
