All right, I've been watching and waiting but I'll confess too. By 18 I had been caught misbehaving enough that I had been ordered to traffic school. Here are some favorites:
Before I-78 and Rt. 33 were linked, there was a 1 mile stretch of paved road "to no where" that ended at a gravel road conveniently close to my home. To access this road, one had to take the ramp to 33 North from Rt 22 and turn left (that's right).
I had done this so many times it had become second nature. One afternoon I made my move (essentially driving backwards where on coming traffic would be if the road were open) and drove up on a cop taking his break in a deserted area...rut roh!
There happen to be a phone booth in the middle of the unopened highway (don't know why). I got out my car and headed for the phone. When the trooper asked why I was there, I said I was looking for a phone. Caught but no points for this G-rated story.
