- well, bob, i don't disagree with anything you said (which i have
- since deleted) but as far as your story here goes...
-
- this is gonna sound silly but...
-
- If you are travelling at a speed slower than that of the flow of traffic
- and there is a significant 'level of flow' such that
- people are forced to change lanes and pass you, you can be considered to be
- a traffic hazzard (much like the little ol' lady doing 38mph in the
- high speed lane of 495). Cops can ticket you for such things and since
- you were exceeded the speed limit he could tickett you for that.
-
- Or the cop may just have been an asshole. Dunno.
-
- the above may sound a little off base, and maybe it is.
