It's actually not, but the people on my side are mostly not willing to keep posting here and arguing with all of the people fervently insisting I'm wrong. There's even a few people who have said they got basically the same ticket (and feel the same way I do).
^ This.


I'm not going to re-read through all this crap, but from my understanding -- 1) Druff did what he thought was the safest thing to do in the given situation (cars flying by), and everyone damn well knows there are cars going 85-90+ on that road, especially weaving in and out of other cars. 2) Cop told Druff something along the lines of him believing Druff was driving safely, or something like that.

As far as I'm concerned, that should be the end of it. Give Druff a warning and log it in the system and let him go on his way. The primary purpose of driving laws is...or rather SHOULD BE...about safety. I obviously wasn't there, but doing what Druff did could very well have been the safest thing to do. Should he have slowed down to 60 or 50? Possibly. But again, slowing down significantly like that (with other cars flying by) could be even less safe, since it's likely to cause more people to weave around him or potentially have them veer into the right shoulder if the car(s) behind Druff can't slow down quickly enough.

Above all -- laws be damned, you should do whatever is the most safe.
