Sorry to bring this subject back up....BUT....Today on my way to the grocery a big pickup truck driven by a "Red kneck" crossed the center line towards me and then laughed as he passed me. Then a young female in a Jeep got on my tail about 6 ft away for about 5 miles AND THEN ....another pickup truck pulling a "Carolina Skiff"boat was on my tail at 62 MPH on a single lane road for about 10 miles. As we approached the "High Rise" Bridge over the ICW I slowed to about 15 mph to let him/her know that I was pissed. I have had enough....IT'S WAR from now on in NC. War , My friends !!!! No more "Nice Guy" What say you...DANGER ???

Milliemax, are you driving 45 mph in the fast lane? That sure would explain this kind of behavior.

Where you live? IMO donning anything anti Nascar or anti anything for that matter, would be akin to placing a sticker that said "scratch me" .

Had a cop in an unmarked Mustang tailgating me on the way home from work yesterday. He'd get close for a few hundred feet, then back away for a minute or so, then get close again, etc, etc. If I were a betting man, I'd say he was trying to goad me into speeding so that he could ticket me.

He followed me for several miles. For the Houstonians on the board, he jumped behind me on 59, just after the spur (where all the vines are) and followed me all the way to 610.

It was fairly dense traffic so no one was really going above 30ish. He can't possibly think people don't know an unmarked cop car when they see one, particularly when it's directly behind them - laptop at dash level, short row of square white lights going all they way across the dash just inside the windshield, driver steering with one hand while the other is checking the lap top - come on, dude. Weak.
