The red light in question was Moon and Constitution in Albuquerque. There wasn't a sensor on the Moon side of the light for a long time, and late at night, the only way you'd get across Constitution was to run the red light. It was 2 AM, it wasn't like I was worried about holding up traffic or anything like that!
Good Lord, this is mild compared to some of the stuff I've done in my lifetime. :P -
I'm usually driving way too fast to risk something as dangerous as taking my eyes off the road to look at all those annoying signs so I have no idea what the speed limits are. I always thought those sign thingies on the side of the road were just there to make a bunch of noise as you hit them to wake you back up if you doze off at the wheel.

I drive 3 lane interstates everyday and I've seen what your describing daily. I can't tell you how much it pisses me off having someone driving up my ass. They think the road is theirs. So I'm going 70 and passing somone doing 65. It's going to take me 20 seconds to pass that car. So Stop Flashing Your Lights and Get Over It!

This thread reminds me of a great old joke.
Why did Yugo's have no rear view mirrors?
Because NOTHING will be behind you. -

Going twice as fast will not get you there twice as fast. Most it does is shave off some minutes. But you EXPONENTIALLY risk your life by even 10 miles too much.Want my help? Ask here! (not via PM!)

I agree with lordsmurf. Roll up on my ass and flash your lights; Let the games begin! I'll have you putting along at 50MPH for the remainder of your journey... Wanna run me off the road? Go ahead and try I can use the $$$
Don't assume that because someone has the sense to do the speed limit that they won't get aggresive with you in a heart beat if you mess with them.
On a long trip screwing with people like northcat_8 is a nice pass time"Terminated!" :firing: -

I agree about the city Smurf. I do have a complaint though (imagine that
). In Cincinnati, I-71 merges with I-75. Everytime I come through there traffic is a dead standstill. It is at a dead stop because people cannot merge any faster than 6 mph. That pisses me off everytime. Then you finally get up to where the slow up is and there is nothing, it's like there is some imaginary line, like pit road in NASCAR. It drives me nuts.
It's simple...slow lane drivers....move one lane to the left, let the mergers come on the highway and then find a spot and get back over there. Some of them will be wanting to come into the fast lane...there will be holes. I'm not saying it has to be done at 80 mph, but I think a little faster than stopped would still be pretty safe
Thayne - toying with Northcat would be a stressful way to pass time. The last time someone did that to me, they were yo-yo driving....65-85, I went to pass and they sped up. So I dropped back, pulled out the cellphone and called the state highway patrol and reported a suspected drunk driver driving a silver honda with license plate number XXXXXX, traveling down I-75 just passing mile marker XXX. I moved over for the SHP to pull him over, of course they couldn't see the cop behind the Tahoe, so when I changed lanes it was too late -

That's okay, once he pulls me over and finds I'm not drunk and I tell him "Let me guess it was the guy in car X, Lic #XXXXX, right?" Then I explain how you were driving dangerously and erratically you will get pulled over and cited for filing a false police report, which is a crime."Terminated!" :firing: -

Conversation went something like "yes ma'am, I am traveling down interstate 75 and there is a silver honda civic driving very irradically. He's speeding up, slowing down. His speeds go back and forth from 60-85 or so and he's all over the lane. I don't know if he has been drinking or if he's having trouble staying awake or what, but he is an accident waiting to happen." "OK Sir, where are you?"
You can give them my name and address. Suspected is nothing more than reporting something suspicious. I was driving down the interstate...how would I have filed a police report? Text message it? -

You are the one who sounds like the coward. "Please mister...if I say I have a big gun, would you please not hurt me...."
