He slowed down to pass but did not move into the other lane.

Wonder why he got stopped as the law is move over or slow down.
Presumes the second guy was running a radar, using the original stop as bait (sneaky $hits).

This has been the law in Texas for a while now... too many cops getting run over while writing a ticket.

It’s why the cop parks his car into the driving lane...to protect himself.

It’s not only cops writing tickets, a cop around here was killed while trying to remove a dead deer from the road.

I pull over to the left lane for emergency vehicles and non-emergency vehicles alike. I don't need a little kid stepping out on the highway while his dad is changing a tire.

"Presumes the second guy was running a radar, using the original stop as bait (sneaky $hits)."

I'll even see them sitting alone on the shoulder at night with their blue lights flashing (hiding right out in the open). The idea is that people approaching from behind assume he is busy writing a ticket and they'll maintain their excessive speed. Unfortunately, apparently, a lot of drivers do.
