Actually, that's exactly what I did. I'm not an idiot, I just don't appreciate being tailgated. Not only is it unsafe, but it shows a lack of driving skill. Again, I know the cop was hoping to catch a big fish--drunks, uninsured motorists, or whatever--and I know my near perfect driving record disappointed him. The whole point of this thread was merely to express my irritation and disappointment with this particular officer.
