I have often thought that it would be really interesting to have video running at all times in my vehicle. Of course, you would need at least 4 cameras, then the recordings would need to be reviewed and edited... dang, that would turn into a full-time job! :P Still, it seems like every time that I take a long trip, I experience some sort of weirdness that would be fun to share. :shades:

He just gave me a verbal warning. There is no way that a ticket would stand up in court, considering that he was (mis)judging the distance between the two cars in his mirror, in the dark. :P Besides, my experience is that Oregon State cops in pickup trucks are usually not really interested in writing traffic tickets. :)

So after the OSP pickup pulls out behind me, I pass the last remaining car in the group, signal and move to the right lane. When the cop-truck signals and squeezes in behind me, I know I'm going to be stopped. Sure enough, flashing blue and red lights come on behind his front grill. I signal and pull over. The trooper comes up to my window and says, "You probably thought I stopped you for passing on the right, but that was ok. No, the reason I stopped you was for following too close." I was surprised at this and said that, while I was a little closer than I would normally follow (because I wanted the VW to "Keep Right Except to Pass"), I didn't think that I was tailgating or driving unsafely. He proceeded to warn me of the dangers of inciting road rage in others by driving too aggressively, cautioned me to be careful, and wished me a good evening. He went back to his truck and I went on my way. A few miles down the road, I caught up with the VW bus again. This time he was all alone on the road... still cruising in the left lane. So I plowed into the back of the bus sending it tumbling off the road. It hit a boulder in the median and burst into flames. (Just kidding, I motored on by in the right lane). I would guess that the VW driver was pleased that he had been instrumental in my receiving a ticket. Or maybe he was "brain-dead in the fast lane" and was totally oblivious to the entire incident. It wasn't until I had replayed the events in my mind that it occurred to me why the cop had stopped me. Remember, he was many car lengths ahead of me when I was following the VW... there was room for me to safely pass on the right before I overtook the group of cars that he was cruising among. He was judging my following distance in his rear-view mirror, in the dark, while driving(!?). And I had intentionally NOT driven directly behind the VW. My vehicle was two feet farther to the left, so that my left blinker would be unavoidably visible to the driver of the VW. The cop was watching the relative position of our headlights in his mirrors. He probably couldn't even see mine. He must have thought I was right on the other guy's bumper. Small wonder that he stopped me! -james
I found it!

I found it! :) Driving south on I-5 between Eugene and Roseburg Oregon... nightime, moderate-to-light traffic... two lanes (each direction)... 65 mph posted limit, most traffic traveling 70-75. I overtake a group of cars: 4 in the right lane with moderate spacing between, and an orange and white VW microbus in the left lane. The VW is passing the rear-most of the group at a glacial rate. I wait behind in the left lane. Traffic starts to pile up behind me. Eventually, the VW clears the first of the cars in the right-hand group. There is plenty of room to pull over to let traffic by, but it continues, apparently intent on passing the entire group. At this rate it could take hundreds of miles. I give two quick bursts of high-beams... no response. I put on my left blinker an drift two feet to the left, so that the blinker is clearly flashing in the VW's driver's side mirror. A minute later... the VW solders on. I don't think he's gaining on the other cars at all. In fact, he's lost ground and it looks ok to pass on the right... as long as he doesn't speed up to pin me in. I decide to give it a shot, so I signal a right lane change, move over and pass deliberately (as opposed to "with extreme prejudice"). The VW doesn't appear to have changed speed. I signal and move left. I pass the second car of the 4-car group in the right lane and as I approach the third vehicle, a newish white Ford pickup, I notice a decal on the driver's door: "Oregon State Police". I check my speed... under 74 (should be ok). I slide on by, watching in my mirror for a reaction. The OSP pickup signals and pulls into the left lane behind me. to be continued...

Another Autobahn practice is to leave your left signal on to encourage slower cars to move...I suspect over here nobody would get that. Actually, I have used that method and found it to be nearly as successful as the high-beam flash, (meaning it works about 15% of the time). HOWEVER, the turn signal technique has the benefit of not inciting road rage. :) I posted a long story on this very board (a long time ago) about attempting both methods on a LLCing VW bus, with no success. :mad:

Excellent point! I tried looking closely at the picture of the wheel (in full screen mode). You can't read the sidewall and it certainly doesn't look like a new tire. Maybe that picture was taken before the tire purchase? In any case, if it's half as good as the seller makes out, and license-able in your state, it looks like a lot of fun for the money.
