Any car exceeding the speed limit, whose speed you match with your car while maintaining a reasonable distance behind them. The idea is that the "Guinea Pig" will get caught in any Speed Trap up ahead, and you'll have time to react, slow down, and continue on your way.
I always look for a "Guinea Pig" when I have to drive through the city. It makes it so much easier to make good timing safely.

The worst pet known to man:
1. Guinea pigs were originally bred as food- I'm not kidding about this.
2. They are incredibly stupid; they just sit and stare or hurt themselves. Dogs are 1,000,000,000 x smarter.
3. Incredibly brittle and injury prone; they hurt their backs and break their ankles on exercise wheels, and make you by a crapload of weird supplies for them. You can let dogs walk around free, but you constantly have to make sure these fucking rats don't kill themselves.
4. They are not cute; they are big beady-eyed rats. Rodents aren't pets, they're VERMIN.
The fact that there are great dogs on the street, and one of these fuckers has a home makes me SICK.
