How about when the lights arent on? If a cop comes speeding up the left side, everyone typically moves over even if his lights arent on. They usually let you know they want by or if you are in their way by riding pretty closely. But from what you said, this means for you to continue on your merry way at the posted speed limit. Do you enforce the speed limit on the cop or do you move even if he doesnt have his lights on?

If the cop has to get somewhere, he has to turn his lights on. That's so citizens know to pull over and let him pass.
I don't feel I was "enforcing" the speed limit on anybody. There was passing room constantly. The one guy who was riding my rear deck was just being arrogant trying to force me to an unsafe speed.

I wasn't implying he had to get somewhere in a rush. I am saying for the most part if a cop wants to speed, who is going to tell them they cant. Why should it take flashing lights for you to move out of the way. Are you going to park your car in front of a cop car that is just speeding becuase you dont see lights? Like I said, most people just get out of the way when they see a cop car approaching from behind them especially when you can tell they are moving. Are you telling me that unless he flashes his lights, you stay where your at even if you saw all the cars behind you move over to the right?

So why dont you turn on your signal, atleast giving the person behind you notice of your intentions to move over and get out of their way and wait for a gap, which often if you have your turn signal on, people will allow you to do. Therefore you are getting out of the way, poking at your same pace, and never reaching that unsafe speed of 4 miles over the speed limit.
Yesterday evening I had a POS Cavalier make an unexpected and non-signaled left turn into SMECO in L-town, I brake hard and veer to the right, only to be passed on the shoulder by a black or dark blue Ram with a duck head on the driverside rear window. The Ram's driver must've had one too many by the way he preceeded to weave on towards Hollywood. I wish I had gotten his tag number, but I couldn't keep up with him.

This jackass and a few others were wanting to do 70, 80 mph and all. It's not a matter of a few miles an hour. It's a matter of he was driving recklessly (thus him being on my rear deck).

Got one better than that. This morning at about 6:30 a.m. on Rt. 5 near Bert's, older chevy pickup (I'm talking early-mid 80's), made the left from Old Village Road (the back road behind Mousetrap & Thompson's) onto Northbound 5 with NO HEADLIGHTS, no taillights. Nothing.

why do you feel it's your job to enforce the speed limit?

It is people like you who cause road rage and accidents. Be courteous and get over and allow grownups who want to pass to pass. The alternative is to one day get your ass beaten, die or be injured in a crash caused by your Mr. Dogooder bullchit. In the end your plastic "Deputy Citizen" badge is not going to reduce the swelling in your brain after an ass whoopin or bring you back to life if you cause an accident and die.AndyMarquisLIVE said:

Ok maybe I didnt make my point clear, pretend me doesnt have anywhere to be, hes just choosing to speed because he feels like it. Pretend he's going to 7-11 in his cruiser but happens to be speeding, no need to turn the lights on, however you are blocking his lane. Are you going to make him pass you on the right?

All I know is people need to slow the f*** down and quit tailgating on 235 between the base and rt. 4. There are accidents there every friggin' day and it's just stupid. I can see driving 10mph or faster over the speed limit if you are on more open road and need to cover a lot of ground. When you are going 10 or 12 miles and you're home, though, it just doesn't make sense.Pete said:
