It would have drove me nuts following her.
We only have her word for the stop. Perhaps the cop did her a favor minimizing what she did?
At any rate she sounds like a crier.

This is nothing new. You can get a ticket for going too slow on numerous state highways.

Not only does it disrupt traffic, but it can be dangerous, especially on a crowded highway.

It may be the number 1 cause of road rage as well.

I am all for this! Lead follow or get the hell out of the way!

The cop probably needed to fill his quota for the week, writing a ticket for going 6 mph
under the speed limit is being petty imho.

Speed limit, not speed requirement.

That said, unless there's someone in front of me or a visible cop, I'm generally doing twice the speed limit or more.

Driving too fact can be dangerous, but driving too slow can also be dangerous.

Aran · 08-24-2010, 01:24 AM

6MPH under the posted limit? Hardly.

I am glad for this.

I am sick and tired of people going under the speed limit.
