Beware of stopped police cars (most all states) - Page 2

In Virginia the law is either 35mph or move to the other lane.

I can't tell you how many times I have been honked at because I follow the law.

Sure, any petty offense is a money grab by the state. The two most dangerous situations we deal with daily are traffic and domestic disturbances. I believe I read that these are the leading causes for officers being killed in the line of duty.

Several comments seem to illustrate how to hit and miss the point.

Flashing lights on the roof of their cars is usually a dead giveaway that they are there!

That one clearly hits as this law only applies with the flashing lights turned on.
