Actually, here's a good one. Was out last night, wet, cold and new to the car. Broke the tires loose at a light when I grabbed a bit too much gas and let out the clutch a bit too fast. The DSC kicked in and reined in the car (good stuff, that!), but my first thought was "oh s***, was there a cop there?"

I don't speed through residential areas because I know they're jam-packed with inattentive kid goodness. It's also pointless cause the roads are generally tertiary routes and further down the maintenance list than the main arteries. Seriously, I just don't cause it's wrong... but the other two reasons are both funny AND true.

Also, speeding in a school zone should be just cause to get your nuts rapped with a hockey stick... or Nef's cane. :)

I like what P-51 pointed out about the Catch-22 of the "impeding traffic" and "50 over" segments of the new/improved/ruined law. You're damned if you do and damned if you literally don't in the right/wrong situation. I never thought of that.

I dunno... there's a lot of 'ifs' in there...<sarcasm> I'm glad we're assuming the cops are going to be overzealous</sarcasn> -- I've yet to find someone who's been charged who didn't actually deserve it.

If you head into a situation assuming evey cop is going to blow their load on you, you're definitely not going to be in the right frame of mind to get yourself out of trouble either.

I personally don't see the ambiguities you guys are all paranoid about, and if I really wasn't doing anything wrong, I'm not going to worry about it.

I'm not going to live in fear of driving because my car fishtails a little in the snow...
