    I drifted in the snow in my car and then got followed by a cop for a few hoods. I took tons of turns and shit but he kept following me. I then went straight up a slight hill and my car would only move at walking pace because of the snow. The cop decided not to follow me anymore or something and turned onto another street. I saw a police suv driving up the street a block over from the one I was on so I put it in reverse and went the opposite direction back down the hill. After that I was driving around and passed the suv going who was in the opposite lane going the opposite direction. The suv turned around and followed me around a bunch more corners until a car pulled between me and him and I lost him. Now I'm home and wondering what this means. Why did they not pull me over? Should I expect a ticket in the mail?

    The suv never saw my car until he started following me btw

    Not sure, probably they thought that pulling you over you wasn't worth their time. I expected a ticket in the mail after I accidentally blew a red light in my father's bimmer. I was about a foot over the line.

    A lot of times they'll follow you to simply scare the crap out of you.... I ran a red light once, with a cop sitting right at the intersection. The guy followed me RIGHT ON MY BUMPER for about 3-4 miles through town before finally peeling off. I had a nice ridge in my seat from having my butt clenched the whole way.

    Edit: I guess scaring someone off is just about as effective as pulling them over, except that its easier.... and less paperwork...

    that happened to me at one point, only it wasnt a cop that was following me... and i wasn't drifting.i almost missed a turnoff and quicky slammed on the brakes while turning right really hard and almost hit this guys truck, he started following me then just pulled into a driveway and drove off in the other direction. But personally, i think they just wanted to see you do some more sick drifts ;)

    First, why would you do that? Second, chances are the cop didn't see you first hand drifting, so he had to wait for you to make traffic violations to 'inquire' about your habits. The SUV probably thought you were being suspicious.. which by the sounds of it you kind of deserve a ticket.

    I had a cop follow me all the way to my house because someone didn't like the sound of my car, so they called the police and told them they SAW me doing donuts on the main highway. The cop doubled my speed to catch me (without lights) and was waiting for me to give him a reason to stop me. I have a lot of situation awareness so I pretty much knew how to behave before he even got on my bumper. He talked to me after I left the vehicle because he couldn't legally stop me otherwise. He also couldn't detain me but I'm working to get into Law Enforcement so it's pretty much stupid for me to be an ass to him. So I humored him and talked to him..

    A day or so later my tire went out on the main road and the cop asked me if it was from doing donuts..

    I jokingly agreed. He don't like me.

    cops don't like jokes...

    And obviously I did it to show off for the women who undoubtedly ruined their pants seeing my car :p

    A couple of weeks back, I was driving home from work along a 60km/h road. I needed to turn at one of those Turn left at any time with care thingoes at an intersection 200-300m ahead, but didn't want to be stuck behind a newish Nissan X-Trail puttering along way under the limit. I was still sort of far behind him, so I changed to the right-hand lane and floored it to get to the intersection without having to cut him off.
    My car kicked back a gear, and while sailing past at 80or90something km/h, I glanced at the driver, he glanced at me, and I'm pretty sure he saw me mouth "Ooh, shit". The interior of the X-Trail was kitted out in police equipment, and he was dressed in the familiar sky blue uniform.

    To say that I was shitting bricks the rest of the way home is an understatement. Didn't get followed/pulled over though. Thanks Straya.
