I did that to a cop once.
A cop did that to me once. I'm not kidding.

Undercover cops do that all the time around here. Like they have nothing else to do than try to get kids to race then pull them over when they do. :thumbsdown::|

That sounds pretty close to entrapment..

This wasn't an undercover cop. It was a fully outfitted squad car (actually it was a Durango) driven by a K-9 officer.

I was the guy driving the Accord that the OP is talking about. We just laughed it off. I like it when dumbasses in riced out cars pull up next to me when I'm on my MOTORCYCLE and rev their engine. Seriously, I could be a total ass and rev my bike engine on everyone at a light, there's not much to challenge that, and I don't do it. I'm not some asshat punk. I have toys because I worked hard to get them, don't expect me to race anywhere other than on a track.

Sometimes hard to resist though 😀

A few years ago I was at a light on a long straight stretch of road, and this Viper pulled up next to me. Didn't think too much, but of course we checked each other out. Well the preppy stuck up bastage sneered at me, and I of course laughed at him and said "If you race me you will hate your car" The light turned red and he was off! I let him ahead, staying so I could see his face. When he thought he beat me, the cocky look came back. "Snick" down a gear, and I was past him like a bullet. This took seconds from the start. At the next light we stopped, and he looked straight ahead head lowered a bit. Just as the light turned, I shouted "I said you would hate your car" and hung a left.

My best "kill" story ever. 😀
