Okay, pet peeve of mine. Why does it seem that EVERYONE in this area slams on their brakes when they see a police car or motorcycle?? Seriously?? The speed limit could be 65 and no one could be speeding, but everyone on the road will STILL stomp on their brakes and slow to 55.
It annoys me to no end. Nothing like bottlenecking the entire friggin' road because OMG THERE'S A COP CAR!! It's even worse if the cop is traveling down the same road. That means that for the entire distance, we're crawling along at 10 miles below the speed limit, because heaven forbid we drive the speed limit with an officer in the vicinity.
I feel sorry for the police in this area. It must take them forever to get anywhere, because everyone around them slows to a snail's pace. Anybody else have this problem?
