PSA to those who drive on the freeway

If there is a sheriff on the freeway, he won't pull you over for speeding unless you're doing a reckless (20+). Therefore, there is no need to go 60-65mph and not pass him, ever. If you like to go 65, great, get the fvck over.

Retarded pieces of sh!t, I hate other drivers. Probably illegals or something, worried that if they do get pulled over, it isn't just a ticket. :|

That's not always the case. I have witness highway patrol cars would do the speed limit (65), and when someone is about to pass them, flash their lights to warn the driver to slow back down. And have seen one person pull over for failing to do so.

A sheriff isn't going to do anything of the sort on the freeway.

What purpose do sheriffs serve out there? In NJ I think they just serve warrants and whatnot... I'm not sure they can even write tickets. But some people see a police cruiser and think they're all the same...

I have seen people getting pulled over for driving 25ft on a shoulder to get to an exit of otherwisw jammed highway....
I have seen people getting pulled over because the licence plate was displayed incorrectly....
I have seen unmarked police cars appear out of nowhere...

Why the hell would I take a risk, especially when I know for all the cop might be trying to fill his monthly ticket quota?

What pisses me off is when people are merging. They've got over a thousand feet to merge and yet they continue to go 35mph when traffic is flowing at 60+. Speed up and merge already!

Im not talking about zipping past at 80mph for one thing. 2ndly, you've never seen any of those being performed by a sheriff on the freeway.

Some of you still miss the point. There is a difference between being respectful of ANY law enforcement and being a pushover panzy douchebag.

Ah, another who cannot read? That is perfectly fine if you'd like to admire the sheriff's car from 2 car lengths back for 15 miles.

Do it in the other 3 lanes like all the other lemmings.

Yea man you're the coolest dude around.. because you know it's totally worth it to pay $200 to drive 5mph faster and get to your destination a couple minutes sooner. Why don't those idiots understand that? Stupid illegals.

You must be one of these retards I speak of. Your comprehension, or lack there of, gives you away. Im not "cool" for going the speed limit, infact you people should all get pulled over for going under the speed limit and impeding traffic.

Your OP seemed to refer to drives going the speed limit and refusing to speed in order to pass a cop, unless you are referring to a scenario on a 70mph highway. That's pretty bad when you have trouble comprehending your own post.
