WHY do you feel the need to tail me?
Is it me...the blonde driving a sports car?
(Get over it. I'm old and I have a boyfriend.)
Or is it...the Z?
(It's a Black Cherry Z. What else ya need to know?)

had my car 3 days and got a ticket. since then i've got 4 more and 1 tint ticket. tint is EXACTLY the same as on my silver charger and i don't drive the Z any differently than the charger. cops selectively enforce laws on whom they deem it fitting. ftp

I got 1 ticket for failure to switch lanes without signaling. Also, I had a TEXAS state trooper let me go for doing 103 in a 65 (I-10 heading to Houston from San Antonio).

Only times I have ever been pulled over.

but

so we can better evaluate why exactly it is that they are tailing you.

Hadn't had a ticket in DECADES. Had the Z less than 2 months, and got a ticket for 60 in a 45. Trooper was a young d***. Now I've been tailed TWICE since. Drove 35 in a 45, & was followed for miles! D***. Sounds like I'd better get used to it.

Yeah I've had some like that too. To a large degree it just depends on the cop who spots you, but another big factor is how safely you're driving. A lot of cops are pretty pragmatic about coming down hard on guys who are recklessly weaving traffic, but letting off those that are speeding relatively safely on open stretches.

Trust me...it's the car, not me.

Driving 15 over the limit around here (Northern Virginia) will always get you a ticket. Driving 10 under will get you attention also as it can appear you are trying to be extra careful because you don't want to get pulled over. This can be the case when a driver has had a couple drinks and notices the tail. of course it could also be the fact that they notice a pretty lady driving a hot car

Agreed. In the trooper's defense; it was residential (country) & it was rainy. In my defense; I was travelling DOWNHILL when he clocked me.
