Enough is enough. I follwed him in and in addition to the traffic violation both were charged with minor in possession, open container, possession of a controlled substance. I hate doing that stuff while "off-duty" but these guys were clearly a danger to those of us just out to enjoy the weekend.
Kind of along the lines of being careful of the toes you step on today, because they might be attached to the **** you need to kiss tomorrow....

Wow, now that's something I never knew. The History Channel strike again.

I accelerated fairly rapidly to the posted speed limit of 65 MPH and immediately eased back on the throttle. Meanwhile the VW is trying to make up a significant portion of lost ground which I make easier by staying at 65. Eventually He whips around me going about 90. As usual I just smile and keep driving at or near 65.
Coming up over the next rise in the road and there it is. A LEO with his lights flashing pulling over the VR-6.
That's my idea of justice.
I'm not gloating because the guy got a ticket, but he had no business riding on my butt or whipping around me at 90. Any mistake on his part could have become a disaster.

Outstanding. 
I wish more people were aware of the awesome stopping power of our cars. I hate tailgaters.
