I have a bad habit, when the weather's nice enough to do it without kicking my tail out sideways, of seeing if I can get to (and not above) speed limit without spinning in the length of an intersection, as soon as the intersection's clear and my light's green. Preferably when there's a cop at any point in the intersection around me... because as soon as I'm up to speed, I hold it there. There's nothing illegal in it, there's no part of the law that I'm aware of covering how quickly you get to speed limit, as long as you do so safely... but for some reason, every cop that's watched me do it's tensed up for a brief moment before they realize I'm not actually planning on speeding. I also don't pre-rev for the launch, mostly because I've found I simply don't need to, so there's only the mid-intersection high RPMs to raise their eyebrows. The couple times the cop's actually been in a position to follow me through the intersection when I've done that, they've had this dumbfounded look when I hold perfectly on the mark at speed limit after pulling out so quickly. I'm amazed I haven't caught a cop having a bad day with that'n yet. I've sure went fishing for it enough!</blockquote>
