Well I dont know if its well known or not but flashing your headlights at a stop light will make it turn green (at least where I live). Cops have a little light flasher thingy on the top of their cars and they use them to get through lights quickly when in a hurry to get somewhere.

Anyways I was sitting at a light and it was taking FOREVER to turn green. There was no other cars around so there was no reason for it to be red. So I started flashing my lights and backing up and moving forward so the stupid light's censor would notice me. Apparently a cop was somewhere out of sight and watched me do all that. He then pulls me over to give me a stern talking-to about how I'm not supposed to do that, only police can do that. But he didnt give me a ticket! So all is well.

You're a naughty light-flasher, bad boy. If I was the cop, I would have given you a spanking or even worse, a nasty look. lol Nice one, only if we had that here in Alabama. Wouldn't it be funny if you actually did that without getting caught.

The officer must have been a female, I'm sure your looks and whits got you out of the ticket.

What was said? how did you not get in trouble?
 
It was a guy.. And I just sat there and nodded to everything he said.
 
Yep, exactly what you should do. I watch cops all the time on TV and have been interested in becoming one, and I've always thought that if the person has a decent, clean record and is willing to admit their wrong, in this case, you nodding your head, then a warning or at least an acknowledgment should be given. On the other hand, I've seen people argue, become obnoxious, and try all types of ways to frustrate the officers as if it is helping their case.



I recall you being pulled over or something a while back at FA?
 
Ive been pulled over more times than Ive driven a car.

................try to figure that one out.

Even if he was a guy, doesn't mean he isn't a fan of Oscar Wilde...



And that is a nice trick, I am going to attempt something like that. Since I am underage and can't drive, there must be some other way around it...it would surely piss off the people on the other side.

Well done for not getting a ticket.
 
You should know Nebulous that if anyone can get in trouble driving a car--it's gonna be you.
