A list of things to avoid doing so you don't get pulled over!

From the friendlies on Reddit: 

I'd love it if others added to this as well. Cops will be looking for reasons to pull you over! Avoid the following easy to remember things:

• Obstructed view: make sure you can see out your back window!
• Riding too close on someone: make sure the person in front of you has plenty of room.
• Not using turning signals to shift lanes: use them blinkers!
• Littering!: We're supposed to be green anyway, right? Don't throw stuff out of your window! Keep a bag in your car.

  ALSO KNOW THAT THROWING A CIGARETTE BUTT OUT OF THE WINDOW IS CONSIDERED LITTERING IN TN, AND THROWING A LIT CIGARETTE BUTT OUT OF THE WINDOW CAN BE CONSIDERED THROWING A DANGEROUS OBJECT OUT OF A MOVING VEHICLE. (consulted with a police officer on this one, he said if he's really searching for something to pull someone over for, that's usually an easy one)

• SEATBELTS!: Buckle up.
• Make sure all blinkers, headlights & taillights are working.
• KEEP YOUR SPEED DOWN!: Theyre lowering speeds all through TN! Keep an eye on your speed and don't go over!
• If you pass a car (especially a semi), don't merge until there's plenty of room between you and the car.
• Avoid passing too many people altogether: Just goooo with the floooow man.
• WRITING ON YOUR WINDOWS: Bonnaroo bound all over your windows is just asking to get pulled over!
• Have your co-pilot man your cell phone!: Avoid having it in your hand at all. The naughty texts can wait, and your copilot can handle the rest! No copilot? Use hands free options on your phone or leave it alone.
• Wear some plain clothes on the way up: Your awesome, colourful, spiffy, scant festival wear is awesome at roo, but try to wear some normal garb on the way up. The loud clothing is a cop magnet.
• Keep your eye on the road!: Have a passenger grab the next CD or the cell phone you dropped in the floor. Taking your eyes off the road for one moment can cause you to swerve.

Also remember to keep an updated insurance card and registration in your car. Don't forget your ID! MAKE SURE YOUR VEHICLE REGISTRATION IS UP TO DATE. If it's not, stop by your DMV. If you can't, take another car. This is a freebie for the cops to pull you over.

Know your rights. You don't have to consent to a search, unless they have probable cause to search you. The magic words "Am I free to go?" are your best way out. If you get pulled over & have to do this, DOUBLE WATCH YOURSELF THE REST OF THE WAY TO ROO. You'll have a giant target on your back as you'll look suspicious, even if all you wanted was to get on your way to get in line for roo.

When you get to Roo, make sure you pull off to the side of the road in the line. Don't block the right lane.Cops were apparently being really strict about this last year!

Download the app WAZE! It's a social GPS where lots of Roogoers (including my crew) will be reporting cops & speed traps in real time! Make sure your copilot handles this as well. ;)

If you like to, ahem, smooooke in your car, try to avoid it on the way to roo. If you DO get pulled over, the second they smell anything, they'll have probable cause to search your vehicle. No bueno.
