Today's tale of a man getting fined $500 for eating chicken in his car reminded me that, while we constantly tell people how to get out of tickets, we don't often advise them on how to not get into them in the first place. What's the stupidest way to get a ticket?

My favorite of late is doing a burnout in front of a cop car. It's ballsy, no doubt. It's also not the brightest way to behave. Bonus points for video.
