[SunRescue] Suburban Wireless?

[Chris Byrne]

I had a cop pull me over once when I was doing five miles below the speed
limit in a slushy snow storm. The conditions were fine, and before the cop
saw me he was going faster than I was. He actually slowed down to let me
pass, then pulled in behind me to pull me over.

I asked him why he pulled me over, and he was nice and honest about it and
said "Because I had nothing better to do"

Many (most?) states have similar provisions - *in theory* you could get
cited while driving under the posted speed limit, if conditions made that
speed unsafe (snow, rain, etc.). Few officers seem interested in enforcing
that provision of most motor vehicle codes, since it becomes a judgement
call they have to defend in court.
