You're a bad driver and dangerous to be around.

Regardless of what your landlord is supposed to do you're going to wreck your car or drive into someone's house.

I used to do this maybe a decade ago or so. Then I just started driving the actual speed limit everywhere I go and now I never have to worry about cops or care about speed traps or buy extra equipment or sign up for any apps. I just drive around where ever I want to go listening to music not even looking for cops or cameras. Totally oblivious to all of that stuff. It's really nice and takes a lot of the stress out of driving. Best part, it was totally free.

I’ve only done it under 2 conditions: 1) I’m out of the cop’s line of sight and 2) oncoming traffic is fast enough they need to slow down. Maybe I should get back into it as a common courtesy.

Most of the time from what I see, people haven’t been competent enough that they’re going fast enough to be pulled over.

Are you in Newport? There’s good sledding at Fort Adams and Middletown High school but there has to be more than a dusting on the ground. So far this winter it’s been really mild, I hope things pick up. I can remember as a kid getting so sick of seeing nothing but white for like 4 months but that doesn’t seem to happen anymore. Having 4-wheel drive is definitely much easier than two wheel but more expensive. Just drive super slow and cautious. I always hear about these 20 car pile-ups in places like Virginia when they get a dusting of snow. I guess they don’t know how to drive in snow there because that does not happen here. Maybe they just don’t know to salt the roads. All roads here are salted except dirt roads and around reservoirs.

I sure do. A bunch of quick flashes for "cop ahead", or really any other unusual scenario where the oncoming driver needs to slow down and pay attention.

As opposed to just two flashes, to signify turn on your headlights or turn off your high beams.
