N.J. Man end, Teen Locked Up After Road Rage Incident 2534
I don't swallow it. I am saying that it's plausible. I've done that, and probably most of us here have. Or maybe at the opposite extreme some testosterone-soaked junior lord of the universe...

I absolutely can't stand when people do that, and once again, I'll try and explain. Motorcycles are a little better in that situation because you can squeeze them into small spaces and they don't have dash cameras. When a person pulls into a parking lot, then into a space, I can never position my car in a manner where I'm covering all angles with my camera and-or where I can safely place my vehicle as cover. On top of that, if I do try that I end up blocking the entire lane between the two areas of parking spaces because I have to point my car at theirs. I either end up with my whole driver side exposed to the violator where I have no cover, or the whole pbuttenger side where I lose sight of the driver and occupants.

Which gear for economy
This is a quandary. Let's try to analyze this. When accelerating or climbing a hill, 4th gear would almost always be more efficient, since the mixture...

I don't expect every stop to be a safety issue, but I have to always plan for it. The one time that I don't could mean that bad things could happen. Apparently Scott and a few others here think cops are stupid, but there really are reasons why we do things and most people don't understand why unless they've been in our shoes.

The best thing to do, and what is required by law, is that when you're stopped you pull as far to the right as possible on the road that you are on and stop. If we want you to move somewhere else, we'll be sure and let you know. If we have to block a little traffic for a few minutes that's ok, and that's why they give us the flashing lights.
