Continuity mistake: When the thug's car lands, you see it hit the ground in the distance shot. Then in the close up from the car mounted camera, you see it hit again.
Visible crew/equipment: As the Marlowe's men swerve to miss the ambulance, it goes airborne. As it does, you can see the camera mounted on the right side of the car.
Revealing mistake: When the boys are stopping to check the ambulance, you can see the smoke device burning used to simulate the engine running badly.
Continuity mistake: During the chase with the blue car, Price's hat goes on and off several times.
Continuity mistake: While running from the blue car, the area behind the Sheriff's car is an open area with a tan truck behind them. After the cut to watch the cars turn, the background area changes to the town, and the tan truck is gone. Also, Springville has all dirt roads, but during the chase, they run off the dirt and you can see the roads and buildings of Hazzard.
Visible crew/equipment: When the hearse is pulled up to the coffin works, the driver is left alone to look at his map. If you look to his left, you can see the reflection of the lighting rig.

Route 7-11 - S1-E12
Character mistake: In this episode, they constantly refer to the semi as an eighteen wheeler. The tractor would have tandem (two) rear axles with dual tires. This one has only one rear axle on the tractor. Added up, the rig only has fourteen wheels.
Route 7-11 - S1-E12
Other mistake: In the opening sequence, there's a shot from on top of the General Lee. As they do a one-eighty, you can see skid marks on the road where they have done other turns.
Audio problem: As Jesse, Bo and Luke are about to leave after Jesse bails them out, Jesse says "C'mon." It's voiced by someone else. (00:05:50)

Other mistake: When the General does a jump during their shortcut, it goes through a tree, and lands mostly on the left side of the car, but the next shot, it's still going.
Days of Shine and Roses - S2-E1
Continuity mistake: When Rosco gets out of the car with the Detour sign, the arrow points to the right, the way Boss went. When he sets the sign up, it points left. Then after Luke grabs it and sets it out ahead of Jessie, it points back to the right.
Days of Shine and Roses - S2-E1
Revealing mistake: When watching the film in the beginning, one of the cops pursuing Jessie and Boss rolls over. As he does so, you can see the roll bars in the car, which accounts for the car not crushing.

Gold Fever - S2-E2
Plot hole: Roscoe and Enos are chasing the boys. They are well ahead of the Sheriff and go up into a semi with a conveniently made ramp to lose the cops. The dust was dissipated enough that Roscoe, coming up from the rear, could have seen the General in the trailer. Roscoe couldn't be that blind. Plus the trucker couldn't miss the movements of the truck settling down from the sudden adding of two tons.

Answer: Various reasons, but mainly to drive the Dukes out of Hazzard County because the family have been foiling his schemes since his and Uncle Jesse's bootlegging days.
