There is driving in a spirited manner, and then there is driving like an ass hole. Granted, different people have a different "ass hole threshold", and I'm sure I cross others' on a regular basis. Some, just by showing up in a Porsche, some just by driving at 5 mph over, some by flashing my high beams to aske them to get their 50 mph ass the hell out of the fast lane, and so on. But passing on the shoulder? Tailgating until the driver in front is intimidated into pulling over? No way. I'm pretty sure that crosses everyone's line.

As far as calling in the dangerously slow drivers, good luck with that one. I have done so on a number of occasions and, as far as I know, have never elicited a response. One very clear case of LE focusing on the "fast" guys happened on a group run up a local dead end mountain road a few years back. There were over 20 of us, and apparently a few motor home and SUV drivers called us in as "racing". So a sheriff's deputy came up to the top and waited for us to leave. We fell in behind a mini-van, with his truck between our group and that van. Well, the van crept down that mountain at a good 15-20 mph under the posted limit. All the way down.

At the bottom, we stopped to let the cop drive off. Instead, he came back and chewed us out for our "reckless driving" up the mountain. I asked him why he never pulled the mini van over, and he looked at me all confused. I reminded him it was state law that any vehicle delaying five or more other vehicles had to use the available turnouts to let those vehicles pass. We had passed at least eight to ten turnouts, he was going at least 15-20 under, and he had over 20 vehicles he was delaying. Whys was he not stopped for that clear violation? The cop had nothing to say, other than to tell us to slow down.
