there's a lot of hate for Texas cops in the fark.com discussion of this

my lesson, I recieved a second DUI about a year ago which was counted
as #2. I now have learned and have stopped drinking all together but am

I spent the weekend in Chicago and nearly went insane sitting hours
in the stop and go traffic preceding toll collection booths on various

Beaner tried to do a left turn right into my path today. I hit the
horn and the brakes and swerved while he stopped and no crash
occurred.  When i glared up at Mister Tacohead,  he was LAUGHING.

I rear-ended insisted on calling the police and upon his arrival the
cop issued me a ticket for "following too closely."  I have two

What sorts of vehicles do you expect to be driven by Sloths? The Prius
has already been mentioned, but it looks like SUVs can also be added
to this list, at least while gas prces are high. I guess some owners
are feeling the pinch, and trying to squeeze a bit more than 10 MPG

Odd how the traffic engineers were monitoring "repeated traffic light
disruptions" and actually were present AT intersections to notice the white

With school, sports, homework, and a social life, many teens get up
early and go to bed late. According to federal safety officials, that
