yep, never pull over all together.

hey does this mean the lead car gets hammered as well? long lines of cars run together on highways. well one guy speeds and the others all feel safe because they are behind him.

Exactly. Never pull over unles he is PULLING you over. If your in front and the guy behind gets pulled over. And you pull over. Then you deserve more tickets than the guy behind you. One for speeding and one for being stupid.

No, the guy behind him got clocked at 103. While he was going slower, he's getting charge with the 103 because he was leading the pack.

I hope that they don't start that crap here...that is BS.

Turning this around... I remember following a group of faster riders in the NC mountains and they got a bit ahead of me several years ago on my ZX9R...well we hit a straight and I ran up to around 140 or so to catch up sooooo going by this...the lead rider would get ticketed for 140 because I was doing 140 ? Again...that's BS.

That analogy would be correct. Lead guy only doing 70 but leaving you in the corner would get popped for 140.

That's exactly what I was thinking and that is so wrong.

A friend and I were talking about some mountain roads last night and the story about me playing catch up came up and even though that was 1998 when I first bought the ZX9 I thought about it again this morning when I read this.
