    I got pulled over in the 90’s for eating a bag of chips. I never left my lane, but every time I reached over into the passengers seat I would swerve a little.

    It was late afternoon. I saw the cop behind me. I was doing the speed limit, but he was kind of close. I just figured he’d go around at some point. no lights, no siren. Finally, BULLHORN: PULL OVER.

    K, so I pull over. Driver gets out and stays by the door hand on weapon, Passenger walks up to my drivers door, license and reg, yada yada. Have you been drinking? no. Why didn’t you pull over? I just did. Why didn’t you pull over back after the stoplight when we turned the lights on? What lights?

    He looked back. No forward lights on.

    Ohhh shit… umm he’s a trainee… Look, we pulled you over because you were swerving a bit

    Ahh, sorry, I was starving points at chip bag

    oh, ok, just be careful.
