Last summer I was driving in the right lane in heavy traffic on the e-way when the vehicles ahead of me started merging into the fast lane. Next thing I saw was a state trooper standing just off the edge of the lane talking with the driver of a pulled-over car. There was no room/time to get into the other lane...so I did the next best thing and straddled the lane divider and left the officer at least 6 feet of space. About five miles later, the trooper chased me down and pulled me over. After unloading on me about how dangerous his job was, he asked if I was the owner of the car and then went back to his car with no further questions.
