Does anybody else get really paranoid when driving along with a police car behind you?

• cool!! My buddies in the Chicago PD say the same thing... amazing what y'all get away with! If I could, I'd be a cop. But, y'all have something special that the rest of us don't! Thanks for what you do!!

• The termwe use is professional curtosy, however there are a few that don't deserve it, but because we do what we do, breaks are provided to other law enforcement officers, fire fighters, and EMS. Tell your buddies at Chicago PD, I said "Be safe". Thanks for your kind words, I appriciate it.

• Makes sense, glad you take care. Mind you, I did fail my first test for being a hazard to other road users being 5mph *under* the limit.

• Wow. I would think they'd give you points for being extra nerdy and going below the limit. That's what they preach. Interesting.

• Going slower than the speed limit is reckless driving! I don't know if they still post minimum speed limits, but I know they used to where I grew up.

• Unless traffic is congested, I generally agree. I used to drive home on a road with a speed limit of 80 km/h (50 mph) and nearly every day there would be a goof driving 55 km/h (35 mph) and it would cause all sorts of trouble. It's surprising how driving slow can be so dangerous.
  
  It just goes along with the research I've heard about that shows the safest speed is the speed everyone else is going.

• It's the part of your mind that recalls your misspent youth! Hey, I just saw your profile stats: you have 97% positive, I only have 96%. This I find unacceptable. I don't think I've seen anybody still active with 97%. I hope you don't mind if I marshal my minions to even things up a a bit... :-)

• And here I was thinking you were both respectable people. It's somewhat gratifying to realise that you're both as corruptible and underhanded as I am. Which makes me feel better, as I don't feel as bad now, knowing that *my* army of minions has sabotaged *your* army of minions.

• Hey Chris, everything's relative. We're talking about petty crime between nearly perfect people. You're talking about genocide among the Devil's own -- enough quantitative difference counts as a qualitative difference! :-)

• "...aslo able to drive in front of a police car and not get into trouble are, for some reason, idiots who cannot indicate when they change lane, those persistently unable to stick to the speed limit, those who seem unable to lower their headlights in the face of oncoming traffic and old men in hats that drive in the middle of the road 20 or 30 below the rated speed limit..."

• I hear you, I was pulled over once, and the officer let me go after checking my info. As he was walking back to his car, I called him back to mine and asked " why did you pull me over anyways?" He said " Oh, I forgot......." then made up some BS about my lisence plate light. I got home and checked the light, it was fine......go figure. HE just wanted to see who was driving the "new" vehicle in town so he could put me on the "radar" again I bet......

• Sounds like they were scoping you out, or suspicious of you. Cops can pull people over for any reason - even to say 'hi'. If you're an ordinary citizen it's a 5minute delay. If you're a criminal it sucks. This is why they do it - sometimes the most casual looking vehicle has something to hide. 3 times though....think that's a bit much.

• I drive between 3am and 8am, and no I'm not a criminal, never have been... totally clean record, including no tickets. I do drive a POS looking car, but it is mechanically excellent.

• You can't ever be so sure! Even when they're 'busy with someone else' they can radio another unit to stop you up ahead - IF - they happened to notice something wrong about you as you went by . . .

• Some people, even if they've been driving 50 years with not even a parking offence on their licence, still get nervous when followed by a police car. It's not necessarily anything to do with driving skill.
