[Vision2020] ISP emphasis patrol this weekend

[Sunil Ramalingam]

Paul,

I don't know if they'll give you a ticket or not, but I think it makes sense 
to pull over.  Why take the chance that one of the people behind you will 
pass when he or she shouldn't, and cause a wreck?  Let the others get out in 
front of you and you won't have to worry about them on your tail.  I'm 
always glad when an angry tailgater is out of my life.

My own peeves are the driver who drives slowly slowly until he gets to a 
passing lane, then speeds up as I try to pass, and his good friend who 
drives in the left lane of the passing lane when he's not passing anyone.  
Often that driver prevents someone heading in the other direction from 
safely and legally passing cars (heading North down Reisenauer or towards 
Genesee.)

Sunil
