I think it would depend on too many factors to make an uninformed decision. If he was driving a Honda I'd pull him over, other than that, maybe.

and if the opportunity for resisting arrest happens to come up, so much the better

i sometimes do that :eek:

I hate those people who throw their cigs out the window. If you want to smoke, that's cool but keep *your* trash in *your* car. Thanks.

I do that when I'm in unfamiliar places and I'm not sure if that's really a curve or if it's an intersection. (or when I'm trailering and some douchebag is on my ass)

I was never bothered by people throwing cig butts out the window until I was on my motorcycle and caught one in the face at 70 mph.

First, I don't smoke. Second, I have yet to get pulled over for throwing unlit cigarettes out the window. Third, spider.
ROFLMAO!!! Oh man, that kills me. Nice avatar, though, Spidey.

Maybe because you don't come to a complete stop when going around curves? The turn signal is a warning to other drivers that you're coming to a stop and turning. I agree it's not entirely necessary if you're in a turn-only lane (though I do it anyway), but it's ALWAYS a good idea to signal.

Yeah really :thumbsup:

It's like asking what would you do if your mother slept with a prostitute who turned out to be a cop in a "hypothetical" situation.

Does that mean you don't believe in signalling for lane changes on the highway? If you come to a complete stop on the highway to change lanes, I'll definitely pull you over and beat you for resisting arrest :p
