I don't know how the police deal in Germany, but I was going slow in an off ramp when I got pulled over for the tinted plate cover in a new cadillac and was about 58 at the time. I did nothing to **** him off. Here in Ohio, the state highway patrol has no other function(that they make any attempt to do) other than generate revenue from writing tickets. I don't know anyone here who is not related to one that has any respect for them. They hide in the medians in the first twenty miles in ohio(speed limit 65) coming from west viginia where the speed limit is 70 and try to nail someone not paying attention to the speed limit change. I have seen 10 them every 5 miles hiding behind barracades on the ohio turnpike. I don't see how a statie can sleep at night knowing that all they have done all day is ruin the days of the 20 or so people they stopped. You really have to hate the world to do a job like that. by the way I can't remember the last time I gota ticket from them. But I have seen them speed by someone broken down to chase a speeder. Don't tell me that they are doing it for our safety either. We have section on our interstates that the speed limit drops from 65 to 55 without any on ramps that increase the traffic flow and out in the middle of the country. The only purpose I can see is speed traps. We had a trooper get hit as he was writing a ticket in ohio last year, so the state passed a law that if a policeman was on the side of the road you had to pull over if you could or slow down if you couldn't. 1 day after the law was passed I was in the right lane about a quarter of a mile from my exit going about 55 in a 65. I passed a cop with someone pulled over and he comes out wheels peeling and pulls in front of me on the exit ramp beginning and another driver who was going straight and tries to flag us both over. The other guy keep going straight and I stopped. So he gets out and strarts screaming at me asking if I ever read the paper or read the news. I responded No because our local paper is a rag with no news and I don't waste time watching the local news and all their sensationalism. All I watch is the national news. At the time I knew nothing of the law and wasn't even sure what he was talking about the cop getting hit. He was certainly not pleasant. He screamed that he could give me a ticket, impound my car etc. For a minute I thought he was the officer from Alice's Restaurant. He detained me for about 10 minutes before letting me go. There was no way I would normaly pull over one lane and then pull back into the right lane in a matter of a 100yds, even if I knew of the law. It would have been unsafe driving. I think 90% of the guys that sign up for the state patrol(not local police who actually do police work) are in for the ego boost and the ability to boss around someone.
