"You should have been cited.
Even if going the speed limit law enforcement had every right to pull you over for speeds so low they are dangerous or impede the normal and reasonable flow of traffic.
It is old people like you that are a hazard and should have their privilege to drive revoked. I hope she noted your number and turned it over to the police. A few more notices and perhaps we can get you off the streets."

GUEST, Do you mean to say that police can ticket someone for not breaking the speed limit? What is the point of having posted speed limits if you're expected to exceed them.
I do feel that a driver who stays in the passing lane when not passing someone deserves to be ticketed, but Eliza made it clear that she was driving on a single lane road with no place to pull over.
Do you consider exceeding the speed limit to be "the normal and reasonable flow of traffic"?
I see some intolerance in your comment about, "It is old people like you..." This seems to indicate that a young person who drives at the posted speed is fine, but not old people.

Eliza, I wish that you hadn't mentioned the age, cigarette and piercings of the driver, since they should not have made a difference to the story. I'm sure the tailgating would have been just as scary if it had been a well groomed, non smoking senior citizen wearing a suit.
