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

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 
traffic jam.  You could see the 4 police cars approaching and litterally
a sea of cars behind them (and interestingly not a soul in front of them)

To serve and to protect?
