I'm amazed that you could have done it for as long as you have.

Sometimes I just want to tell them... "Go do, that voodoo, that you do."

I speed too, but never more then 5 or so over on the streets and between 80-85 on the freeway. but usually on the freeway im going with the flow if traffic, so its not like the cop is going to pull over 20 of us.
Pretty much the only thing you can do is.............let them pass and get away from you. I would guess that a lot of us used to do stupid stuff like that and either learned some hard lessons or grew up. I did both.
You have nothing to gain by doing anything. Quit your bitchin and dont be a hero. Enough good people are killed by idoits like them, but your no good to anyone dead. Become an officer like you want to be and do your part in life.
call you local PD and complain about speeders on that road.
we cant be everywhere, but if we know there is a problem on a certain road we havent "hung out" on in a while, usually a good 2 day session will slow the traffic down for a few weeks.....

"...hello, is this the police? well, I wanna complain about a driver doing 90 miles an hour out here on the road. His plate number? BR-5....uh hold on, let me get a little closer....549 ! That's it, BR-549!. You gotta get this idiot off the road! He's doing 90, I swear to god!"
Dispatch...."Mr. Samples, this is the 5th time this week you've called. You're our winner. One night stay in the hotel of our choice. Please come down to the dept. to collect."

You know what bothers me more than speeders? People who try to dicate to all of the other drivers at what speed we will travel. If I exceede the posted speed limit and get caught, I'll have to suffer the consequence.
Law enforcement has a pretty diverse job. Traffic enforcement is part of it. Let them take care of it.

I think theres a lot of wrong things with this first post. So, you were letting your gf draft off of you? Like in nascar or something? Why? I dont get it. Second, Just let him pass you, if he wants to go some where in a hurry, dont bother with him. 3rd, you played a police siren? Why? What if that was a off duty cop trying to get some where quick, and then you went a did that and bam! Jail for impersonating a cop.

Did he say his GF was drafting him?
