The Art of Bear Bait

The other day, during my morning commute, my "bear bait" got pulled over and I thought, "HAHA, I need to share what 'bear bait' is with my blog family."

First: Yes, I speed - I admit it, I can say I only speed 5 miles an hour over the limit, but it's still speeding.

Here's how it works:
You let a person drive faster than you and far enough ahead of you that it pulls the "bears" out of the woods.

That's what happened the other morning. I was going 40 in a 35 and another driver was going over 40 and knowing that cops hide in the area (I've already gotten a speeding ticket on this part of the road) I let that car be my bear bait. I slowed a little to let the car get farther ahead of me. Sure enough, out pops a motorcycle cop and lights up the other car.

If other people around you are driving like an idiot and/or want to speed, let them go around, they can be your bear bait. :)

I wish there was a like button, this makes me laugh. And I think I will remember it, and put it to use when needed!
