To Pass or Not To Pass

theDreamer

I completely disagree, a cop has no reason to pull you over if you are doing the speed limit and passing a slower, be it a cop or something else.
Now if a cop flashed his lights at you when you tried to pass, then there was probably another reason which I could understand. And to your point of being somewhere 5 minutes faster, why show up 5 minutes later when you are within the legal limit?

My point is that some cops (it could be just in my area) would pull you over for passing them regardless of whether or not you're still within the legal limit. That's why I just think its not worth the hassle. No disrespect to cops, but there are a handful of them that are on a power trip, and get a kick out of breaking balls.

That's my exact point. Some cops are just a-holes. That's a fact. Some cities in my area are NOTORIOUS for cops like that. So my point is, yes it IS legal to pass a cop safely and within the speed limit, but like I said, I wouldn't do it because I don't want the attention and don't want to give him a REASON whatsoever to pull me over...

maybe it's different in Canada, but here in the USA you *always* have the right to request a supervisor present. If a cop ever pulled me over for going the speed limit, I would ask why he pulled me over - if he claimed I was speeding or doing something I was not doing, I would politely demand a supervisor come out to the location.

Don't lose your cool, don't be a jerk and don't mouth off - but don't bitch out and let them walk all over your rights. Most cops are just regular guys doing a job - but just like you ask for a manager if you get crappy service at a restaurant, you do the same when you get crappy service from a LEO.

Yeah, I lived there for many years, (went to HS and college there) and they tax the living sh!t out of you for every little thing they can. Their LEOs are grossly overpaid (IMO of course, refering specifically to NOVA), and theire emmissions laws are draconian. I'm SO glad I don't live there anymore.

Oh, and NOVA is so ******* overcrowded it's not even funny.

poorazn

Yea thats why I always throw back a strong gin and tonic before I get behind the wheel... Why not buzz up to the legal limit?

joking.... totally joking. I never drink a drop before driving

Where are you guys that you see all these cops going UNDER the limit? In NOVA, I can tell which are the cops and which arent cause they're the ones going at least 15-20 mph over the limit when noone else is.
