This is a guy from FL, the most oblivious driver you have ever seen. FL Man blows by me; I was doing just 72-75. Statey was over on the right, lights him up, traffic slows, we drive for half a mile, no signal or attempt of FLM to pull over. Siren comes on, cop maybe 2 feet off his rear bumper. Drive another half mile to a mile... it was long, same thing, FLM keeps driving. Cop goes to his right and with window down, waves him over. FL Man pulls over. I had to slow not just for the cop but to watch the whole thing unfold.

Yeah, those bumpers & grill alone probably weigh 1/2 as much as my VW Bug
