Well, while I wear a seatbelt and do believe in them, the law is only there because insurance lobbied for it. Same with helmet laws. Here's a question, if it's illegal to drive w/o a seatbelt in all states due to 'your safety', why are there no helmet laws in most states, for 'your safety'?


Great thread!

If not wearing a seatbelt is illegal, they should make suicide illegal. Haha. I agree, wearing a seatbelt should be a choice.

Question(s):

What is the first information that comes up when an officer brings up a license plate #?

What are the top three reasons that cops look for in order to pull someone over?

I understand why we have local police and sheriffs and I do respect them fully but what the **** is up with highway patrol. Their whole job is to pull me over for going 5 over everyday..? ******.

Is it illegal to make a car look like a police car, even if from another country? I just had the idea of dressing up an Audi like a foreign police car...

Notahonda, I just thought you should know that I appreciate your excellent ability to restrain from engaging in long winded arguments with people on this thread. It has been amazingly helpful and insightful to so many of us, and yet there are still those who refuse to respect that. You are to be commended, both for starting this and continuing it with such a sense of professionalism.

As to you and people like you (ahem, Audi 90Sport Quattro, ahem) you should probably start a thread where you can hate on cops and always be right together. That way we can ignore you easier.

Can you pass someone in the carpool lane if they are going too slow even if you do not have a passenger?
