That ONE time, DECADES ago, when I went to traffic school: The officer told us, (specific to actual add-on to someones ticket I think), that HE decides when it was safe to pull over, and that's why he turns on his lights when he does. HE decides when it is safe for all parties involved to pull over.
So, when you are in a marked car, does it drive you crazy that everyone slows down in front of you, just because you are in a marked vehicle? I watched it last night driving home: we are all cruising along right at the speed limit, CHP comes up from behind, EVERYONE slows down 5-10 mph. I had to as well, flow of traffic and all.
