A friend of mine in his 60s (I think) has a Corvette. Automatic. And he drives it like grandma on her way to church.
I understand that cops are going to be happy to pull over a Corvette. But you can still go the speed limit. And you don't have to cruise under the speed limit in the middle lane... Basically, he's the kind of driver that irritates me.
In their defense, I was cursed with a lime green Mustang as a rental once. I have never in my life been so watched by cops. Literally every time I saw them for 2 weeks, they were staring me down the whole time. I wasn't brave enough to go faster than 5 under. I'm going to keep my bland anonymous shitbox, thank you very much.
The extra scrutiny may have been due to the ugly green color more than being a Mustang. Everyone knows that Mustangs can't go fast. But an ugly green? You had to be drunk or high.
Yeah, I get it, but my friend wasn't even driving a constant speed - sometimes he was over the speed limit; other times he was 5 or 10 under. In the middle lane of 3. Basically being one of those drivers that is inconsistent. I hate when people are inconsistent with their speed and we keep passing back and forth. Just pick a speed and stick to it.
