There was a couple of times where I failed to look the opposite way of the on coming traffic and crossed the white line. Once I almost hit a bicyclist and the other time I almost hit a lady jogging. People tend to get a little pissy about that. Fuckers should just know to watch out for people who are looking the opposite way and go around them.

I just might have rolled a little...), a ticket for talking on my cell phone and recently a ticket for SUPPOSEDLY driving for a brief second over the white line that marks the bike lane.

That last one really pissed me off. Firstest, I don't think I did it. Secondest, even if I did, no one was IN the bike lane for the second I supposedly crossed the line and thirdest, it made me think I ought to install a dash cam because there was no way I could disprove his allegation. That said, I'm very conscientious about bike lanes now so if I get pulled over again, I'm going to fight it and make the officer produce his/her dash cam video to prove it.

I can't complain too much though. I've gotten off a few times with warnings when I should have received a ticket.

Soooo, "flashing" does work!

user's panty free zone is quite magical. Makes tickets and cops brain cells disappear.
