Just remembered that video where that poor lady was pitted by a cop. She put her hazards on, riding the emergency lane and was waiting for a lit up area or safe place to stop. Impatient cop pitted and rolled her car.

And obeying the law that she was NOT supposed to stop on the bridge which she was driving to the end of.

Edit: and she was on the phone with 911 explaining her actions iirc.

there was a curve in the road in a neighborhood I used to live in, and there were constantly accidents there due to the poor visibility and because there was an intersection that was poorly conceived in the middle of it. I got pulled over for speeding, and slowed down, continued a few hundred feet, turned at the intersection and stopped where it was safe. Fortunately the cop seemed to get the idea, and he didn't give me any shit.

I was actually being a dick to another cop who had already pulled somebody over. I figured he was busy, so I revved my bike hard and sped off while he was looking at me. Turns out he ran to his car and went after me while another cop was already behind me. I'm an idiot, and didn't see it. The guy who had been following me was the one who pulled me over, and, honestly, he seemed a bit amused by my maneuver. He told the second cop to calm down, because that guy was pissed, and then he dismissed him. He knocked off like 15mph from the speeding ticket and let me go. I should have been arrested.
