saw a guy driving a mustang on 93 by quincy at 3am on my way to go fishing spin his car about 4 times in the middle lane and then he swerved into my lane the fast lane. I had to go up on the sidewalk by the gaurd rail to avoid him.

I have seen the same on a weekly basis. What gets my goat is that late at night I get stopped from time to time, never getting a ticket when a complete drunk rolls down the same roads. But because it is after 2 am there is probable cause to pull someone over. They get the wrong person more times than not. The only payback is my car reaks of eels when the window goes down. That is usually enough for the officer to say "have a good night, catch anything?"

Was pulled over in Little Comton this summer because the officer thought I had a bad tail light.

Took me 15 min to explain that's how some European fog lamps operate

Was coming home from fishing @ 3am one night this season, was going to my parents in North Haven, CT. I had to look twice and was thankfully not too shot, the guy was about 125 yard away driving on my side of the road with no lights on, made no effort to move, no swaying, as i had little time to react i just pulled into a driveway and let him go right on by. of course tried to high beam him prior, by the time i pulled out of the driveway, he was pretty much gone, i always woner if that guy got home safe?

My Dad was a cop for 30+ years and he said the majority of people who are out are crooks and drunks so be careful when out that late....or early in our case.

Got pulled over in Warwick RI about a month ago for a headlight out. Cop saw the rods and proceeded to talk to me about the Fall run for about 20 minutes. Never tagged me either! Funny.

No boat, back in the suds.
