Whenever I'm at a red light, and there is a big lifted truck or any Audi or bmw. They always have to give me that look and floor the gas. What brand or car tries to race you the most?

I don't want to generalize but a lot of mustangs have tried racing me.

Also, sometime Subaru WRX Sti and Porche Panamera.

But usually, I just watch them take off and meet them at the next red light lol.

So true I don't get why all these American cars try racing such an elegant lexus. And we can beat half of them. Seriously, I get bmw drivers they are all the same usually. And the kids will try racing in their v4s lol.

Thanks.

Depends on how stupid it is. If it is criminal, (DUII, Reckless Driving) I would call my dispatch and follow the violator, if I can, updating them on our location. They would send another trooper out and he/she would conduct a traffic stop. In that case, I would have to write a supplemental report, be a witness in court, etc. Needless to say, for me to get involved in something like this off-duty, it has to be absolutely stupid.
