“Or the stolen vehicle with no plates and a trail of illicit drug smoke, dragging a gas station hose, shooting a firearm out the bloody windows, while your hostage is screaming.”
But that’s not as concise.

Nah, you still good bro as long as you are moving smoothly with the traffic.

What catches the trooper’s eye and gets you pulled over is doing all those lane changes if you want to be the fastest. That’s what is unsafe. Otherwise, they aren’t too concerned about the actual speed as long as the traffic is flowing smoothly.

This strongly depends on both the area and the individual officers. And sometimes your skin colour, unfortunately. Also the condition of your vehicle, like a new porsche might be allowed to get away with a higher speed than a rust-bucket (or, on the other hand, that new porsche might attract more attention and/or envy).

I’ve been following this advice myself, but maybe with a bit of an ulterior motive… Being the second fastest car on the road, maybe a mile or two back from the fastest car on the road means they get pulled over and I don’t.
