I-270, south of Frederick, MD:  Was in a group of traffic doing about
75mph when a bunch of cops appeared behind doing 85-90, no lights, no
sirens.  Everyone slowed down upon seeing them, of course.
Rather than turn their lights on so we'd pull over, the cops
blew right by on the right shoulder.  

I-695 (Baltimore Beltway):  Was doing about 80MPH in light traffic, as was
the guy ahead of me.  But he was searching for something on his
passenger seat, and was swinging wildly through the very wide left
shoulder, and occasionally into the other traffic lanes.  This kept up
for at least 10 minutes -- I didn't want to pass him the way he was
weaving, so I just stayed behind and prepared to evade if he hit the
median or another car.
