I got pulled over in the wee small hours when I was about 19 because I didn't stop all the way at a 4-way stop sign. There wasn't another car anywhere around me, but next thing I knew I was being pulled over for running a stop sign. At 2 a.m. In Georgia.

Weirdest thing was, after the cop searched my car - which he of course had no right to do, but no way was I going to argue it with him - and written me a ticket for running the stop sign, he actually had the nerve to ask for my phone number so he could call me for a date sometime.



Edited to add: Later on, when I was taking driving lessons in England to prepare for the very difficult UK driving test, my instructor used to chastise me for obsessive signalling. He said that if no one was behind me, I didn't need to signal. Didn't make any difference, I still do it.
