I don't have a speedometer either in my T, so I just go slower than traffic and kind of judge how fast I am going. It does cause me some moments of concern when a black and white moves in behind me and rides there for a while.
So far, so good though.
Like Stu said, cops are just people too, sometimes you get a nice one and sometimes you get one who is just out to bust you. My Son had a playing gig on Sanibel Island for about a year, playing 4 nights a week. He had about a 10 mile drive down a two lane road with a 35 mph speed limit. Almost every night the local yocal would do a U turn and ride right on his bumper the entire distance, just waiting for him to make a mistake.
Being the buttinski I am, I called the Chief and complained, and he told me "if a car is on the road at 3 AM it is our duty to make sure the driver isn't drunk, so we follow them." I told him that the cop was so close every time that Dan couldn't even see his headlights and that he was making him so nervous it might CAUSE an accident. Right after that the cop stopped following him though.
But generally the best approach is to be polite and show the cop you are just a regular guy too who doesn't intentionally break any laws.

Right after I posted yesterday it was down again, I don't think it's getting better.
Where is everybody?
