I had this happen to me on the ohio turnpike years ago. Guy rode next to me for over a mile in the left lane. I just wanted to get away so I sped up and he pulled me over because he said he was pacing me with his speedometer.

Luckily I was a white middle aged guy in a suit going to a wedding, so guy gave me a warning... Asshole.

Yeah it’s like a classic move. Act super strange driving and influence behavior of someone on the road because of your weirdness then pull them over for that. I once got pulled over by a cop sitting in a parking lot at the end of my street when I simply turned around to get on the right side of my street. He pulled me over in front of my own house.

even better I was driving a 2009 Honda Fit. You know how long it takes for those things to accelerate?

You shouldn't have been in the left lane.... Drive right, pass left. If someone comes up behind you while your in the left lane move to the right and just let them pass.

I was in the right lane. The cop in an unmarked car was in the left. If I slowed down he slowed down, if I sped up he sped up. It was unnerving.
