Please don't, I haven't had to pass someone on the shoulder in a long

Yep, appearantly the local news got wind of it and set up a camera on
a bridge. Basically all it proved was that 55mph creates one hell of a

a sea of cars behind them (and interestingly not a soul in front of them)
To serve and to protect?
