I've found that people that say "blow me" are usually pretty serious because it's not something that often happens to them...

No, thank you--you may want to hit up the local gay bar. Run in there and yell that and your dreams will come true in a matter of minutes.

you still can be charged even below .08. if you know when you can and cant drive, what is there to be nervous about?

because while I know when I can and can't drive, I don't exactly know what .08 feels like with enough certainty to be totally unconcerned about being over it while being put through the motions by a lady cop at 2:30 in the am

to help you out next time, have a sober friend look at your eyes. if your eyes are twitching or shaking, dont risk driving. thats the best giveaway to see if someone is drunk, the eyes dont lie.

^Neither. It was before I cut my dogs eye balls out with a spoon and after I scavenged the neighborhood asking kids if they wanted any candy.

Did they give you a reason for pulling you over or do they even have to?

Well they need a reason to pull you over and most will tell you why they did and if you have a reason for what you did. but i dont think they are required to right there on the spot.

Back to the original post...I know how nerve-racking that is derek.

I was going to meet a buddy at the bar one night and got pulled over for having a headlight out. The cop made me do the sobriety tests because it was a zero tolerance weekend and the DUI Taskforce was out in full effect. He did the eye test, I had to walk a straight line, and stand on one foot and I was so nervous that I failed all the tests miserably! The cop kept pressuring me because he had asked me how much I drank and I told him that I hadn't had anything yet. But he was convinced I was lying based on how shitty I did on all the tests. So he asks to do a breathalyzer and I agree. The cop was pissed when it came up 0.0. I told him I wasn't lying and I was just nervous, and he let me go.

You're right man. It's a very nerve-racking experience when you have to go through a Sobriety Test...especially when you're not drunk.

the reason I was pulled over was for going 45 in a 35...didn't give me a ticket though, which was surprising.

Really interesting argument, and it seems pretty valid.

It's "than" in this instance, not "then." Sorry, I had to do it. :P
