I wouldn't exactly consider that flying by you were doing like 20 mph he was doing maybe?

The middle finger has been proven by the supreme Court of the United States to be protected under first amendment rights

Not sure what the cop was trying to pull him over for here.

Lane change in the intersection at least, no signal as well

Too fast for conditions since traffic is a road condition

And with a lane change in the interaction plus having a hand off the wheel while going too fast for conditions and not signaling the lane change, sounds like reckless driving is on the table whether or not it sticks.

It just goes to show you how many traffic laws you're likely breaking at any given point and that that's not a made-up statistic

The guy pretty much did nothing wrong in my eyes, but someone like you is able to pick it apart and find like five different things that he did that are technically illegal.

Oh definitely!!

Iā€™m loose with the lane lines, especially on curves. When someone wanted to pull me over, I had only tapped the shoulder line not even crossing or covering it entirely and it was all the justification he required to flip on the lights.
