To Pass or Not To Pass

The cop in question was in the slow lane, hence the pass that I made.

I like Kenchan's response. I tend to have my cruise control on all the time anyways, so this tends to work just fine. HOWEVER...one time when I was (in band camp..(sorry, couldn't resist)) driving through the very bottom of Illinois, I had my cruise control set and apparently the speed limit had gone down... I was busy listening to a book on CD, wasn't paying attention, and passed a cop on the left and got popped. UNFORTUNATELY I was apparently driving on an expired drivers license and he very nearly took me to jail! There's more to the story, but I won't bore you with details.

I will say this much: Getting pulled over did not stop me from passing when safe. I see no reason to pile up behind the Police cruiser due to a choice that they make to drive a bit slow.
