To Pass or Not To Pass

If he is going 3-5 under the limit here in Ga. he will not only be passed,someone will probably get under him and put him in the wall.

Stay behind him/her, it's not worth the BS if your pulled over!

Pass..... but wouldn't tailgate. That is what obviously got you pulled over. I try to keep a safe distance and be respectful of all drivers.....even the ones afraid to pass. I have never been pulled over doing this.

What irritates my about the local police here is they will sit 5mph under the speed limit in the FAST lane. It's like they are daring you to pass (which by the book is illegal to pass on the right). I still pass them!

In Ga. it is legal to pass on the right that's why this pass/not pass thing really doesn't apply hear.

I don't think that's the point of the question. The point IMO is would you rather be safe and stay behind or risk potentially getting pulled over for something while/after passing.

then what the hell is the point of the question!!

He said the cop was going 3-5 under the speed limit and did not specify what lane the cop was in so to sit behind the cop and drive under the speed limit would be foolish,so to pass him doing the speed limit whats the problem there isn't one.

There's a question right there. Do you pass going speed limit or do you try going a little over the speed limit? People have been on both sides here already. Going 3-5 mph above someone is going to be a really slow pass. Do you do that or go 5-10 over and hope the cop doesn't care and lets you go?
