| Passing Cops... What's the rule (or law) about passing cops on the road? As in, if you are a respectful driver and find yourself in the unfortunate spot behind a cop, and other people pass both of you, but the cop doesn't pull over the guy that passed you both, why? Momma always told me, don't pass police no matter what. Any why? Respect for the law - not because he'll pull you over for speeding (well, he might). But I don't get it when I'm behind a cop, people will attempt to, and successfully pass a cop and not get pulled over. No fair! |

| Probably not a good idea to pass a cop! |

| Okay then - question 2: What if the cop is out of county (i.e. PG cop in Calvert, or a St. Mary's cop in Calvert) Two days, two cops, two hour drive home lengthened by being stuck behind a cop and slower drivers. |

| Why? Is there some law against passing a cop?

![]() Now that is the truth!!! I often hang behind them because people get out of their way and you can ride on their coat tails. I'm always afraid they are pacing me from in front though. Is that possible?

| I had a cop pull out in front of me coming out of the Sheriff's office today around 3:30 at the intersection with the State Police Barracks. Blue Crown Victoria. He knew he didn't have time. Had to hit my brakes and then I laid on the horn. I couldn't believe he did it! He started to pull out, then stopped, then pulled out right in front of me anyway. I would have been ticketed for that. Totally unsafe driving.
