On the road, there's no need to slow to the speed limit when you see a cop, odds are good he/she knows how fast you were going and has already made his/her decision to ticket or not. Suddenly slowing on the highway is less safe than exceeding the limit a bit. The best bet is to run a reasonable speed whether there's a cop around or not, and stay out of the passing lane unless you are passing. They seem to be cracking down on people hanging out in the left lane now.
They need to get on I-93 between the MA border and Concord. It seems as though once people get in the left lane, they ain't moving over for anything. Not too long ago I was heading north just past the Hooksett tolls. Middle of the day, very light traffic. I was in the left lane doing about 70 in a 65. I came up on a car doing about 65, and with more than enough room to move over, didn't. I gave a quick flash of the high beams, and still nothing. So of course I have to be the a-hole and pass them on the right. As I go by I look over, and both the driver and the passenger are flipping me the bird. What did I do wrong?
