About two years ago I was driving down a highway at about 2 am. It is dead quite. There was a car behind me that was just riding my ass. I would speed up and then he would speed up. I would slow down, he would slow down. I changed lanes and he followed me.

I go over this hill and and not 30 feet in front of me is a stoplight. Bright red. At this point I am going about 60. Now I know that there is no way I'm stoping with out causing a wreck. I look both ways and since it's clear, I just pass right thru.

The car behind me is a cop.

I had almost the exact same thing happen to me a few years back. Turns out the cop thought I was drunk, and I thought he was some asshole that felt like following my too closely on a dark, quiet back road at 1AM. I didn't even get a warning, just a "be careful" and I was on my way.
