... do NOT slow down to 10 UNDER the speed limit when you see blue flashies on the side of the road. They're not the ones you have to worry about. The cops you DON'T see are the ones who are going to nail your ass for speeding. Like the ones sitting on the overpass or just around the curve. And by the time you see THEM, it's too damn late. No amount of slamming on the brakes and sudden lane changes to the middle will help you. Just makes ME cuss you out as I swerve to get out of the sudden idiot's way as you pull in right in front of me and slow the hell down. OOOooh, there's a cop, let me see if I can cause an accident trying to avoid a ticket!
Idiots.
Oh, and if I am in the far left lane, doing one of those slow catch-up-and-pass things, the absolute best way to get me to roadblock you is to flash your lights at me in a misguided attempt to get me out of your way so you can go 90 mph down the highway in a hurry. I absolutely refuse to try to jam my car between two semis just to let you by. I will move over in my own good time once there is enough room for me to change lanes safely and not immediately run up the person-in-front-of-me's tailpipe waiting for you to accelerate by. And if I cannot see your headlights in my rearview mirror, that's a good excuse for me to suddenly slam on my brakes for a split second to see how good your reflexes are. If you hit me, it will automatically be YOUR fault because you were FOLLOWING TOO DAMN CLOSE.
People had better thank their lucky stars I don't have a gun and can't shoot worth a damn, cause I'd have no back windshield due to shooting out tires of asshat drivers.
