Odd Fellows

In 17th century England, it was odd to find people organized for the purpose of giving aid to those in need and pursuing projects for the benefit of all humankind.  Those were called "Odd Fellows".

Freeway Fellowship

A preliminary, mutually beneficial alliance that two non-acquainted motorists on the freeway hold when driving in the same direction late at night to ease one another, just incase one happens to get in an accident, usually happens when there is a thick fog as well
"I was comming home from GasLamp in San Diego heading north on the 215 freeway and the only other car was a Mitsubishi Lancer right infront of me, we held a Freeway Fellowship because it was so foggy. After I got off my exit, I sure hope that stranger made it home okay."

follow the popo

In certain jurisdicitons, this creates a false sense of security in motorists, who fail to realize the second police vehicle coming up on him/her from behind. Tag, you're it.
Husband: We will get there faster if we follow the popo.
Wife: But sweetheart, we are already speeding!
Husband: He won't do anything so long as we stay behind him.
Wife: But sweetheart, there is another police officer behind us... and he wants us to pull over.
