Passed a cop today
In a 100 km/h zone, followed behind him at 100-105. Someone came on the
highway in front of him, and was driving 90-95, slowing down the cop, so I went in the passing lane and passed the cop at 105. Nothing happened. |

He was probably just looking for an opening in traffic to pass the sloth. Further up the road there was a garbage truck going about 60 in the right lane. The cop made it past the garbage truck, but not the sloth driver. It seems every time I go up that hill there is a garbage truck hiding around the corner going 60. Normally the cops here aren't super anal even when on revenue patrol (20 over is the rule of thumb), and I'm sure I could pass the cop at 115 and nothing would happen. The funny thing was watching as various drivers come up in the passing lane, see it's a cop, and either slow down and pull in behind, or micropass the cop. |

You must have passed a cop before, right? Speaking of cops, I probably came close to getting a speeding ticket last night. I was driving between 150-160 km/h in my BMW. Being a bit suspicious when speeding I always check all vehicles around me to make sure they're not cops. That's when I noticed a car with reflective text on an on ramp about to enter the freeway behind me. As I look closer I see something looking like a light bar on the roof too, so I ease off the gas and slow down to about 120 km/h. Sure enough, as the car is approaching from behind I see that's it really a cop car and drop my speed to a legal 110 km/h. Then the cop passes me and I accelerate up to about 140 km/h trying to keep up with him, but he's going faster, probably around 160 km/h or so. Anyway, a little later I see flashing blue lights on the shoulder, and it's the *same* cop who's pulled someone. The question I asked myself was; how can cops going 50 km/h over the limit pulling over drivers going maybe 30 km/h over the limit increase safety? It doesn't make any sense... > > > Ulf |
