What would that prove?

And who has so little life to chase trolls around anyway?

Keep it up. Eventually one of the anonymous "friends" you are doing this
great service for will be a cop; one can only hope he will teach you a
lesson and give you an award for blocking the left lane and teaching someone
a lesson. He'll enjoy your reason, I'm sure.

I'm sure as many of "them" think *you* need to be corrected.

So nice to see that you have so much time on *your* hands as to worry
about what I and a few others do. Don't like what we have to say, don't
read our posts.

You're on crack. Cops drive fast as hell 'cause the chances they'll get
a ticket that sticks is relatively *nil*. They don't LLB.

Heh - just how black is that kettle?

I'm referring to the one who eventually makes it up the conga line to see
our teacher holding up the works.

It is probably more about the reality of getting a bond passed than what is
actually needed to get California back to rational spending levels for
roads.

It wasn't on an interstate (relatively light traffic). I actually went
through a series of green lights at that speed. As for the clue
resistant part, I have to agree with you there. I decided it's not
worth the hassle of trying to get them in the right lane.

My theory is that their IQ is close to a standard deviation below the
median value.

Not bloody likely.

The next time you're in Traffic School, and the teacher asks everyone
what infraction brought them to the class, make a note of how many
people are there for speeding (~99%) and how many are there for LLBing
(0%).

Believe it or not, I've had Truckers run precisely this sort of
interference for me - slowing down an LLB so I could pass on the
right.

If I had a CB, I'd have given that Trucker a big ten-four.
