For me, I pulled out onto a 25 mph street at night. Having fun, I gased it a bit getting a little sideways. There was a cop right behind me. He pulled me over, and the next thing I know there were 5 cop cars blocking me in. They were asking me if I had weapns or anything in the car (this was like 3 days after 9-11). He gave me a 50 ticket with 1 point. I went to court and told the judge I had an explanation, to which he said, "Oh, I gotta hear this!". I told him that I had just washed my car and used this new tire shine. The combo of that and feeling like the car was speeding up behind me were responsible for the whole thing. He asked the cop what he thought, and the cop said, "His car was freshly cleaned", to which all the cops and even the judge busted out laughing. I should have just kept my mouth shut. I did get the point knocked off though. But I am sure I made their day. I will definately use that clutch excuse in the future.
pulling out of a gas station in the 93 I gave it just a little too much gas and spun the right rear tire quite a bit. Much to my dismay I saw out of the corner of my eye two county sherrif cars in the next gas station. The one car that was getting ready to pull out comes hauling butt after me and stays behind me for 5 mins or so til im about to get on the highway and leave his jurisdiction. Really I already was out of his jurisdiction cause I was already on the onramp but I dont know if that woulda made any difference. He walked up and said "in a hurry to get somewhere?" 
I said no and told him what happened and he took my license and registration and came back and asked me if I could think of a reason why he shouldnt give me a reckless driving ticket 
I told him my new car has traction control and im not use to driving without it 
ill have to remember that one
. he drives up to my car...stop then does a couple of slow circles and leaves.
