Default V-1 + Toyota SUV + Audi A-6 + Speed trap.... PAY BACK time

This is for all you guys and gals out there that has ever had a jerk in the left lane that refused to pull to the right lane.

So, its about 5:15 PM, dark outside and wet. Heading back from a Costco run doing the speed limit and on a two lane road south bound. Mr.Toyota SUV is in the left lane doing 5 MPH under the limit. No one in the right lane. I flash him ONCE and he slows down. Now he's 15 MPH under the speed limit. I slow down also. Still no one in the right lane but a couple of cars are way back coming up on the right. I give up waiting my safe distance behind him. So I put on my right directional and low and behold, Mr. Toyota puts his right indicator on too. SO I wait for him to pull right. He doesn't and its too late for me to pull into the right lane. (Good one Mr. SUV). He's still 10-15 mph under... I resist flashing him again. This goes on for another 1.5-2 miles. I finally pull into the right lane and pass him doing the speed limit. I have tinted glass so I have no reason to give the one finger salute as I pass along side since he can't see me anyway. Mr. SUV then pulls into the right lane behind me and puts on his high beams and fogs and commences to flash them. (Glad I have dark glass and self darkning mirrors). I pick up speed to about 5 mph over and he is still right on my rear in the right lane. Now we are heading up a steep hill and it is clear in front of me with a clear view way ahead. So I gun it a bit and Mr. SUV tries to keep up. I hit 80, he's dragging a bit more. But he swings into the left lane now and I get my first indication of my V-1 alerting in front. (Now its my turn to have fun). I surmise the cop is in the median about 1.5 miles ahead on the far side of the hill. But I am not sure which direction he is aiming his radar. Mr. SUV finally is side by side (pay back time arrives) and so I goose my A6 and Mr. SUV takes the bait and he REALLY pours on the gas. Meanwhile my V-1 is chirping pretty good and getting stronger all the time. Mr. SUV passes me and I look down and I'm doing 90. Now I slow down and he still pushes hard... over the top of the hill FLYING. I don't think he even saw the cop in the median. By the time I get past the top of the hill and even with the cop doing 55, the cop is moving out of the median and pulls in right next to me in the left lane. (Remember, its dark and wet out) Mr. SUV is still hauling. Mr. Cop stays with me another 20 seconds or so (I guess he wanted to verify Mr. SUV's speed) and BAM. Lights, siren, action and one screaming cop goes full bore toward Mr. SUV. By the time I get up to them, Mr. SUV is pulled over and his window is down waiting to explain his excess speed and probably his high beams too since they were still on. I open my sunroof and honk once and wave (with all five fingers like a king on a parade float) bye bye... Boy was THAT fun!!!
