Default Why me?
Saturday I was out for a nice drive when my radar went off. I was doing 63 in a 55 zone. There he was. I started to slow but was being passed by several cars at the time. I really was not moving as fast as traffic. I guess I was living right that day. He only flashed his light and pointed to me. He never came out to get anyone. Why was I the one he tagged and not the guys passing me? I was behind one other car doing the same speed. I guess I know the answer to that one.

He probably thought you were setting the pace for the traffic. IMHO.

he figured if you were the 1st car you would have been speeding and he wanted to know that he would have nailed you.
