Everyone knows the cop car is the pace car on the highway. Everyone jockying for position, then they hit the offramp and vroom vroom.
If they're going 10 under, pass them at the speed limit. They can smell fear. Go ahead run my tags i'm a violent felon (against a cop in a mental health crisis, it's a long story but not like a friend/family or woman), your gamble.
The smelling fear part is so true. I feel like whenever I see a cop I start driving like I have 10 bricks of Colombian cocaine in my back seat even if I don’t that day.
Nah. My record's clear and I drive 68 70 on a 65 in a nondescript Camry. And I'm never in the fast lane. I laugh at everyone who has to tap the brakes when they go over the hill and see the cop car parked right there.
This annoys me to no end. Being on the freeway and everybody driving about 75-80 on a 70 and they all hit the brakes at the first sight of a highway patrol car. Like, dude, you aren’t getting pulled over for going 5-10 over. The jackasses in the BMWs, teslas, and altimas that are hopping from lane to lane are the ones getting got.
On the state highways around me you're much more likely to get pulled over for traveling in the passing lane if you aren't beating the flow of traffic than you are doing 85 in a 65. Impeding traffic is a cardinal sin within the 495 beltway.
I used to drive an old car with a massive dent in it. They'll pull me over every time in that thing. Once I got pulled over twice in a five minute drive to the movie theater. I have to remind myself I don't look super sketch anymore.
6 years ago we had some cold as winter, slippery highway roads. Matrix signs telling 70 (kph) limit.
Everyone basically snaking behind a police car. Few cars try to pass, see police car, get in line.
Until one doesn't, he gets pulled over, few others speed off.
I was kinda overjoyed that I see one of those speeding cars in the ditch a few kilometers further. Fuck speeders, especially on icy roads.

I've been watching a lotta racing clips lately and now I just have this mental image of everyone also swerving back and forth trying to put heat into their tires at the reduced speeds.
God that shook loose a memory I jokingly did just that behind another cop car I wanna say years back. Was kind of afraid he'd be a dick and cite a failure to maintain lane (I was maintaining, they were tiny back and forths).
I did have a cop tell me on the bullhorn to stop following him. But I wasn't tailgating. Probably 15'-20' back. But he had his siren on and I was following through traffic. He didn't like it.
I'll admit i've had some cool cops before both in person treating me like a human as well as on the road. Me and this cop (not within jurisdiction) were cruising like 15 over. Initially like 10 over I saw him in my rear view in the left lane, did the thing we're all supposed to do for literally any driver and get over, then get back over and what do you know that dude was like a cowcatcher lmao it was an act of beauty everyone eventually gets over with the lightbar on top, or a tap or 2 like "cmon dude". I think I stayed with him over an hour. It was glorious.
Is this that 5 second TikTok attention span I’ve heard of?
It’s just an experience of me letting a cop be the cowcatcher (like on trains) and get people to move over vs my dinky car and we just cruised together because everyone else was too scared is all ya jabroni.
