- This is true since it happened to me. I followed him from a "distance" of
- about 500-600 yards at about 75-80. I noticed when he took an exit ramp.
- He took it very slowly waiting for me to pass. He then proceeded back on
- to the highway. By this time I was doing 55, but that didn't stop him
- from pulling me over. I did not receive a ticket, but I was threatened
- with the ticket. I did receive a long verbal thrashing that lasted at
- least 10 times longer than any time I saved by speeding.
