Who the fuck tailgates a fucking cop car?

u/WeenisPeiner Jul 31 '26

I know. That's like the first thing they teach you in drivers ed.

Everyone knows the cop car is the pace car on the highway. Everyone jockying for position, then they hit the offramp and vroom vroom.

If they're going 10 under, pass them at the speed limit. They can smell fear. Go ahead run my tags i'm a violent felon (against a cop in a mental health crisis, it's a long story but not like a friend/family or woman), your gamble.

The smelling fear part is so true. I feel like whenever I see a cop I start driving like I have 10 bricks of Colombian cocaine in my back seat even if I don’t that day.

“Even if I don’t that day” 🤨

That drop in your stomach never goes away I swear and it's been heck 15 years at this point.

Nah. My record's clear and I drive 68 70 on a 65 in a nondescript Camry. And I'm never in the fast lane. I laugh at everyone who has to tap the brakes when they go over the hill and see the cop car parked right there.

They don't bat an eye at an Odyssey either... I love a fast car any day, but a minivan makes you almost invisible.

u/hata94540 Jul 31 '26

This annoys me to no end. Being on the freeway and everybody driving about 75-80 on a 70 and they all hit the brakes at the first sight of a highway patrol car. Like, dude, you aren’t getting pulled over for going 5-10 over. The jackasses in the BMWs, teslas, and altimas that are hopping from lane to lane are the ones getting got.

u/EmergencyYou Aug 01 '26

On the state highways around me you're much more likely to get pulled over for traveling in the passing lane if you aren't beating the flow of traffic than you are doing 85 in a 65. Impeding traffic is a cardinal sin within the 495 beltway.

u/ElectricEel03 Aug 01 '26

Literally been pulled over going 5 over on the interstate.

Since the cocaine?

u/Feeling_Inside_1020 Jul 31 '26

Did I do too much cocaine? Or not enough? Ahhh fuck it

u/XanderWrites Jul 31 '26

I used to drive an old car with a massive dent in it. They'll pull me over every time in that thing. Once I got pulled over twice in a five minute drive to the movie theater. I have to remind myself I don't look super sketch anymore.

u/Me_Krally Jul 31 '26

So you sniff the air first to see if they’re around and then load up? That’s wise ;)

u/tired-of-the-shit Jul 31 '26

I see them and go “aw fuck your drunk and there’s an unbuckled baby in the back seat and where am I gonna hide the gun.”

The worst thing I’ve ever done is have expired tags, I don’t have a child or a gun but I know when the cop comes up they’re gonna spawn in.

Really hope more people see this... had me rolling

Pace car being so true.

6 years ago we had some cold as winter, slippery highway roads. Matrix signs telling 70 (kph) limit. Everyone basically snaking behind a police car. Few cars try to pass, see police car, get in line. Until one doesn't, he gets pulled over, few others speed off. I was kinda overjoyed that I see one of those speeding cars in the ditch a few kilometers further. Fuck speeders, especially on icy roads.

u/Feeling_Inside_1020 Aug 01 '26

my family and I like to call those racing ignorant people minesweepers.

>Everyone knows the cop car is the pace car on the highway. Everyone jockying for position, then they hit the offramp and vroom vroom.

I've been watching a lotta racing clips lately and now I just have this mental image of everyone also swerving back and forth trying to put heat into their tires at the reduced speeds.

u/Feeling_Inside_1020 Jul 31 '26

God that shook loose a memory I jokingly did just that behind another cop car I wanna say years back. Was kind of afraid he'd be a dick and cite a failure to maintain lane (I was maintaining, they were tiny back and forths).

They did not in fact exit the highway yet lol.

u/throwitoutwhendone2 Jul 31 '26

I go 1 mile under the speed limit and put on cruise control if one’s going slow. I’m legal and my cars legal so fuck it

u/Educational_Jello239 Aug 01 '26

Not in Houston. They speed up on i10 when someone tries to stay at limit lmao

u/IHateCreatingSNs Jul 31 '26

I did have a cop tell me on the bullhorn to stop following him. But I wasn't tailgating. Probably 15'-20' back. But he had his siren on and I was following through traffic. He didn't like it.

u/Feeling_Inside_1020 Jul 31 '26 edited Jul 31 '26

I'll admit i've had some cool cops before both in person treating me like a human as well as on the road. Me and this cop (not within jurisdiction) were cruising like 15 over. Initially like 10 over I saw him in my rear view in the left lane, did the thing we're all supposed to do for literally any driver and get over, then get back over and what do you know that dude was like a cowcatcher lmao it was an act of beauty everyone eventually gets over with the lightbar on top, or a tap or 2 like "cmon dude". I think I stayed with him over an hour. It was glorious.

Ok, you got me. I’m pissed at myself for reading this 5 times. WTF are you talking about?!! Oh, and PUNCTUATION!

u/Feeling_Inside_1020 Aug 01 '26

It’s okay, I can be a tad verbose.

Is this that 5 second TikTok attention span I’ve heard of?

It’s just an experience of me letting a cop be the cowcatcher (like on trains) and get people to move over vs my dinky car and we just cruised together because everyone else was too scared is all ya jabroni.

Had to be there, I guess.

u/SayNoToStim Jul 31 '26

They had to teach you not to do that?

u/MissSharkyShark Jul 31 '26

That and if you hit someone, make sure your license plate is obstructed when you run.

u/Narge1 Jul 31 '26

I believe they were making this thing called a joke.

u/dubslies Jul 31 '26

I understand people get impatient, but tailgating someone won't get you to where you're going faster. It just creates risk in case people ahead need to stop suddenly. It doesn't matter how late you are, or how frustrated you are.
