General
I was driving to work this morning to pick up the dogs from boarding (side story: we went out of town over the weekend). I was about a mile from the merge of I-10 and 69 and -already- going 5 mph over the speed limit (I dare not go more than that... the cops here are dicks; more about that later). That's when I look up in my rear view mirror to see a huge jacked up truck hauling ASS up to me. So I'm like okay...expecting them to pass.
He gets up nearly to my BUMPER and instead of getting over like I expected him to do, he turns on his high beams and just leaves them on while riding bumper to bumper with me.
All the while he had a whole other lane to pass me in, but he was trying to intimidate me out of the "fast lane" (that I was already speeding in). Instead of getting over like most people would have done I turned on my cruise control, flipped my mirror up so his lights weren't blinding, and just sat there.
I could just see the frustration in his face behind me. >:D
Eventually he passed me... haha... with his engine blazing and everything. Then he flipped me off. I just laughed.
Then, on the way home, some undercover cop starts riding my ass. Now I KNEW he was a cop because I know what the undercover cop cars around here look like and I could also see his uniform and equipment. Instead of getting out of his way I did the same as I did earlier...I just stayed where I was. Now, don't get me wrong... I'm no cop hater. I just don't think they should be dicks. If they REALLY need past me that bad, they can turn on their LIGHTS. Simple as that.
Eventually the car in the lane next to me slows down and he WHIPS OVER next to me. Immediately after he does so, he sounds his siren at me...and gave me a dirty look before zooming off wildly. Even though I was going exactly the speed limit.
ANYWAY.
anyway.
That was my morning.

I applaud your actions in not giving in to them
