I don't know whether it has been done before or not. But I once, on Friday night, went north heading for Mammoth mountain from Los Angeles for a weekend ski trip. It was late, dark, through the desert, lonely, and I drove my 72 Targa. Needless to say but under those conditions you want to hurry up to get there. Since I could see far back and no lights to be seen I felt safe. Then I came up on a couple of red backlights in front of me going about 65 in the days when 55 was the top speed limit. I did not think much about it and sped up to pass the two cars quickly. Just when I was about to pass the back car I noticed it was a Highway Patrol car. To late to stay behind. I passed and sure enough the HP car passed car in front and turned on the red lights on me. Busted! The cop could not believe what happened to him. He said: "What did you think you were doing? I was pacing the other car and you were passing me!"
