> [@Contrapuntal](#): > > I suppose so, if “going about with an unwiped ass” is the exact same thing as “To operate a motor vehicle while in possession of large amounts of narcotics or other drugs and/or illegal firearm” and the exact same thing as “Ridin A Tractor or other sort of farming equipment/ horse & Buggy on a Dirt Road.” That’s just the way Urban Dictionary is. Usually the first few definitions are correct, especially if they’ve been repeated. You need to pay attention to the votes (and their ratio), as they indicate how many people agree (or disagree) with the definition. The definitions you quoted have relatively low acceptance scores (and high disagreement scores). Often, this is an indication that they are made up or used only by a small subset who want to make it popular. It’s an unavoidable consequence of having a slang dictionary defined by its users. Some people are just gonna make stuff up, and others will vote it up for the pure hilarity factor. ---

> [@billfish678](#): > > And how could anybody tell ? I admit I am no expert on this whole riding thing, but a quick glance at the whole geometry of the thing is how could an casual observer tell between dirty riding and clean riding with out getting all CSI on some some good video footage ? Leaving a known drug house, pretext stop, extreme nervousness on routine traffic stop, canine sniff, voluntary search, etc. ---

I thought this thread was about having sex while driving. So I’ll have to change my “yes” to a “no.” [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/caught-riding-dirty/520034.md?page=2)
