Speeding? Absolutely, you know this could easily get you pulled over as well as reckless driving.

Then there are those things that you may not really think of, or figure cops never really pull you over because you didn't put your turn signal on while switching lanes.

And you're probably right. There are plenty of things that police officers probably ignore unless there's something even more significant you're doing that warrants a ticket or at least a warning.

Something to be very aware of, not only during the winter, but as you're in spring, otherwise known as mud season, are dirty cars.

  • Loud Music
  • Honking
