Doh! That was almost as clumsy as the State Trooper yesterday. What I meant to say was: I have no respect for police that tailgate, especially at 65 MPH and cruise at 85-90+ MPH in the left hand lane (common in Vermont, especially, but not limited to, southern I-89). And then they have the nerve to lecture people about safe driving. While the police may be exempt from traffic laws they shouldn't flaunt it, they should be setting good examples. Tailgating is quite literally threatening someone with a deadly weapon and criminal behaviour from anyone, let alone a state police trooper. --Matt K.
