I was driving down I-40 to see the NC State football game around 4:45 pm on Thursday. I-40 is two lanes around Durham. Between 4:30 and 6:30 pm this area is usually a parking lot. Thursday was no exception. I was in the left lane, doing 5mph, and up in the distance I see a nice, new Camaro with lettering on the tail.
As I moved closer I made out "State Trooper" in small white letters on the back. Moved up beside him and in nice grey lettering, etc, was NC State Trooper. This car looks BONE STOCK and you can't tell from a distance that it is a cop. I gave him a wave as we sat in traffic. He moved about two cars ahead of me in the right lane, still at about 5 mph. THEN....

A newer chevy monte carlo or impala, type car is passing everyone on the right lane shoulder. The State Trooper lights his car up ( like a damx christmas tree) and peels out after this guy. About two minutes later I passed the guy looking pissed as he sat on the side of the road. (I would assume getting a ticket).
Anyway, if you ride the curb in a traffic jam, beware.
And if you live in NC, watch out for stock looking Camaros!!!!

Later!
