Of course this revenuer could tell the exact transmissivity of back glass in the dark with his headlights shining on it! Uh-huh, Suuuuuuure, Melvin. He should be ticketed for following too close. It's no excuse for the ding-dongs that we hire to patrol our highways to do that unless they are code 3 with their lights on.
They like to follow right on your bumper in hopes that you will speed up so they can haul you over for speeding. That's a favorite trick out here in Oregon and Washington.
Thanks for the heads up. I'll be extra careful not to panic or speed up when a cop is following me.
I have had cops do that at night here in Florida. One almost clipped me as I pulled into a median turn lane. When he passed, I looked, and saw a light bar and Sheriff markings. Couldn't believe it. Just like this story, I could hardly see his headlights he was so close.
