Found out my emergency brake is bad... in a bad way

  1. I was driving to Mardi Gras last night and the speed limit changed from 60 to 45 and I didn't see the sign until after the cop already was behind me. So I pull into a store to get my ticket or whatever (the parking spaces are on a little hill thing) I have a standard, so I use my e brake all the time and as I'm digging in my glove box for my insurance my friend in the back says "Uhh... we're moving backwards..." I say "What? Nu uh" and look up and sure as shit I an like already half way out of the parking space heading towards the front of the cop car.......

    He sees me and honks for a long time so I hit my brakes lol.

    He came up to my window looking like this :eek: and was like shining a flashlight in my face and my passengers face. He said "I caught you doing 60 in a 45 zone and do you realize you almost hit my car?" I was perfectly sober and he thought I was drunk, he even made me get out and answer questions lol.

    But I got another ticket for a city that's like far away from mine. And for a court date a few days after my other one. I'm pretty much screwed. My boyfriend had a joint though, a big ass cone one, and by the time that whole almost crash incident went down his face was also like this :eek:

    I laughed when I looked at him. But the cop also noticed his face... but luckily he didn't search us. I think I scared him pretty good.
     
  2. all you have to do is leave the car in gear if you're on a hill, unless the car was still running.

    don't police ask you to shut your car off though?
     

  3. I know that. I had to do that when I got out, but they've never asked me to turn off my car.
     
  4. cops always tell me to shut off my car. maybe they think i'm more apt to try escaping than you.
     

  5. Lol maybe... I think he thought I was gonna like ram his car then take off, he stayed behind on his walkie talkie for like a good 15 minuets before approaching my window.
     
  6. hahaha he was calling for hella backup, if you rammed his car then dipped he would need it, he was scared
     
  7. It was an accident. I don't think he believed me. I thought it was funny when he asked me to get out of the truck then asked me the questions that were clearly on my driver's license. He was like 2 times bigger than me too HAHA
    his face was still scared looking when he was leaving. He was like let me pull out and leave before you even turn on your car... okay?
    :laughing:
     
  8. so when I was taking my driving test a long time ago, the guy told me wheres the emergency braker and i pointed him to the emergency flasherrs lol
     
  9. Women drivers = Scary as shit
     

  10. ditto to men drivers.

    And *boyfriend's

    Haha. I forgot he logged in.
     
  11. to be completely honest, there is only one person i trust 100% behind the wheel aside from myself: my father.
     
  12. my girlfriend has full trust in my driving, ive done some crazy shit with her in the car.

    found out where i drifted in the winter is actually more slippery in the rain on my snow tires than snow was most days. basically we did a 100 foot drift on a long curve going way faster than i should have.. with a 2-3 foot ditch.. my little sunfire wont get out of that. front tires broke for a second, but than grabbed again.. rear tires skidded a long ass way.. when i got up to a stop sign i stoped and got my breath.. smelled like i did a burn out.. chunk or two were missing out of the driver side rear

    meanwhile, my girlfriend pulls the e brake trying to drift, every time she just gets scared and does nothing..

    women drivers :/
     

  13. Uhmmm... I'm confused... :confused:
    And :-/ to men drivers! Geeze.
