There's a small highway here called route6.
Speed limit 55.
The cops tend to get upset for people being at the side of the road.
And this IS a rural area, complete with cows and roadkill.
Yes, I doubt those rural police have as much to deal with as ours. Snipers, murder, rape, bank hiests Etc. Not much time for road standers I guess. I have been stranded on the side of the road and have police drive right by. They have better things to do I suppose. Mmmm! Cows and roadkill! sounds like a bit of heaven! :) You must come to Baltimore sometime! Just lock your doors!
