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.

I've been pulled over plenty over the years. I've never had any experience other than professional and courteous.
Most folks these days don't care or do anything differently when they see lights flashing. The fact that you reacted made you stand out. I'm betting they thought you were drunk or under the influence of something.

Paul's thread about the Reina del Cid Death Cap song lead me to this song. I'm not big into country, but this isn't bad, and man is she cute!
