Poll question: Someone drives up behind you going 50 miles over the speed limit
Edited on Sat Sep-08-07 06:58 PM by Southpawkicker
you are going 20 mph under the speed limit

What should you do?

:shrug:


On edit: this is in the spirit of the thread about someone going 20 mph under the speed limit in front of you...http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x6910520

1. I'd be rather nervous
If possible, I'd think that I'd pullover if the person didn't appear to be slowing down and wasn't making a move to pass. My husband and a friend were being pursued by some idiots in rural Arkansas. They ended up driving around 100 mph. They called 911 with the license number and the description of where they were, but the police, sheriff, or state patrol never showed up despite repeated calls. Finally, the other car turned off at a gas station.

4. If the cops responded they'd have probably had to arrest friends or family.
