Since i got my EV ive been going the speed limit because range issues. Everyone around me is going 75 in a 55 (goes from 65 to 55 during my commute but no one cares) while i actually slow down to 55. Had a police officer pull me over for driving suspiciously, i asked him if he knew how fast i was going, when he said no i let him know i was going the speed limit unlike literally every other car. He gave me a ticket for impeeding traffic and it got thrown out after the court wasted 3 hours of my time.
Basically the same story again two more times.
Worth noting im a white male presenting person with a clean record, so your milage may vary
My mother-in-law has been pulled over for doing the speed limit three times in her life. Each time given a warning and told by the cops she’s making everyone else less safe.
Can you tell these stories? I didn’t think cops would pull you over for going the speed limit in the right lane.

You get pulled over for impeeding traffic, it’s pretty rare to get a ticket and would fail in court. Usually it’s a warning. A waste of tax dollars.
I mean the police probably figured anyone actually going the speed limit has got to be up to something pretty bad if they’re going the speed limit.
