I was traveling south at about 75 mph when I came upon a guy in the far left lane doing about 70. Speed limit is 70. There’s 3 lanes. I stayed on the guy’s a-ss for about 2 miles. I flashed him twice, nothing. I didn’t want to haul balls, but he was starting to get all kinds of cars backing up. He had 2 lanes available to his right. Normally, I’ll keep it at 78-80 to keep the flow going. This guy wouldn’t move. Finally, I turned my lights on, he began to pull over to the left, I motioned -—> and he got the hint, started moving over, got into the ‘slow’ lane, I turned my lights off, got into the middle lane and continued about my business. I think the guy was perplexed as WTF just happened.

Wha-? That was written by a police officer?

I can tell him why the driver was staying at 70. He was thinking: "Oh, no, there's a cop car behind me. I'd better not go over the speed limit. I don't want a ticket." That's why the driver was going 70 and no more.

Once I came across a line of cars going slow on the highway. I sped past, not realizing they all were driving behind a cop and the speed limit was 45. (Doh!) I slowed down, but not below the speed limit. The first thing the officer said when he pulled me over was: "Let me ask you a question - When you saw me, and you slowed down, why didn't you slow down to the speed limit?"
