    he could have tagged ya for having a modified or illegal exhaust. stomping on the gas of a 2 ton suv when not having to evade something about to hit u doesnt qualify u for having a light bulb moment.

    i would call it careless driving also...taking yer eyes off the road while dropping the hammer; u were more interested in where ur buds were instead of watching what could be in ur immediate vicinity. the cop could have been a real hardcase and tag u for 2 charges instead.
