on a multiple lane highway (4 lanes+) at 4am (redeye from VT back to philadelpha and points beyond), I was in the far left lane (awaiting a left offramp) with one of my buddies, doing about 70 (in a 65)... two things happen next... we start coming up on an unmarked crown vic (doing 65) in the next lane to our right and another car starts following us closley.... before we realized the crown vic was indeed a cop, it was too late....
boxed in with a cop on the right and a car behind, we were left with a dilema....
pace the cop car or slow down, breaking the law by acting retarded in a passing lane.... or
maintain speed, pass cop, get over.... break law via speeding....
we did the latter and got pulled over and got a verbal warning warning... he berated us for having the audacity to pass him, told us the speed limit was 55 (untrue, I was keeping constant vigil on this, but we kept our mouths shut) and said he had clocked us much further back at much greater speeds (75+)
what should have we done?
Sub question.... do highway cars have rear and forward facing speed systems?
