First of all he was absolutely professional, courteous and justified in pulling me over.

Here's what happened. I was traveling down a dark two lane last night when up ahead I could see a patrol car with it's lights on pulled over coming the other way. As I got closer the bright lights made it hard for me to see anything other than the lights. I slowed and moved to the right onto the hard shoulder in order to ensure that I wasn't crowding anyone. I got by and resumed my drive. Less than a mile on I see the Trooper light up the guy behind me and come around. I figured he was answering a call, so I moved over as well. No, he was after me.

He asked why I wasn't maintaining my position in the lane and I explained why. He said OK but I'm going to check your docs. "Do you have any points on your license?". "No sir I don't" He came back "OK sir you're good to go".

So. I've been told that if you're not being reckless or careless AND you've no points against you a LEO doesn't really want to be the one to put points on your license. Anecdotal example of this being true or maybe he just wanted to make suree I wasn't drunk.

As I said he was polite and professional.
