F...Brake Slammers

SmootSmack · 04-20-2009, 01:38 PM

More specifically, F people who slam on their brakes when they see a cop up the highway on the side of the road as if suddenly slamming on their brakes aren't going to cause more problems...

Even more specifically, F people who slam on their brakes when they see a cop up the highway on the side of the road that has already pulled another driver over, as if the cop is suddenly going to jump back in his car while writing a ticket and chase you down, when you're probably driving near the speed limit anyway.

And even more specifically, F people who slam on their brakes when they see a cop up the highway on the OTHER SIDE of the highway, as if the cop is going to jump the median and chase you.

Seriously though, why do people insist on slamming the brakes whenever they see a cop car?

Oh man here we go again...see Do you speed?

KLHJ2 · 04-20-2009, 01:44 PM

Yeah, those people piss me off too. I actually speed up when I see a cop because I know that he has his guy and I don't have to worry about him pulling me over. That is, of course until Schneed jumps in front of me and creates a 4 lane blockaid.

F... other drivers period! Seriously, if you don't drive exactly like me you suck!

I know, by the time you see the cop chances are he's already clocked you. It really is pointless to try to slow down right in front of him.

As told by a cop...

He's not after the people who see him and don't make an attempt to slow down, (Granted if they're going 90 in a 65, that's definitely warrant for a ticket) but he's mostly after the people that either A) don't see him at all or B) see him and completely disregard the fact he's there.

I'm not a brake slammer but I'm not gonna get a ticket just because you're behind me and all butthurt because I'm slowing down. I'll gladly let you pass and you can shoulder the ticket for me.

...

The bigger problem I have, I was caught in traffic on 495 today around 10:30am today because 2 cops, a school bus and 2 cars were pulled over on the side of the road. Really? Is that really warrant for backing up traffic like that? I suppose people were rubbernecking it. That sucks way worse than brake slammers.

Rubbernecking is the ultimate traffic problem.

Agreed.

And if people want to slow down because they see a cop up ahead and they're a little nervous that they're maybe driving a little too fast that's one thing. I'm talking about people that literally slam on their brakes

F... people who follow so closely that someone applying their brakes is a major crisis.

exactly it is a pointless and stupid measure. If you know where cops hang out it might be efficient to slow down about half a mile prior.

One time this happened to me. He was going the opposite way on a 2 lane highway, and drove through the median to get me.

Everyone knows that Cops operate in pairs, like "Goose and Maverick". They pull one guy and then everyone speeds up. Then the other cop gets the big ticket down the road. They've also got the helicopter in the sky clocking you and cameras everywhere. There is no escape . . . . Next thing you know they'll have and army of flying monkeys chasing down speeders, not to mention danger mouse and inspector gadget.

Well that's because no one likes you...but I'm talking about the rest of us

To this day I will never forget a simple rant my dad made: "Why are you braking on an interstate!"
