Nobody should pander to speeders in the name of safety ?!?

Glenn Konrad is alright.
The officer knew he would not win if he gave him a ticket.
Going 50 is legal on any US freeway unless it's explictly marked.
If Glenn was doing this during rush hour - it would be an issue, but midnight on an open freeway? (do you think this patrolman would have pulled him over if it was busy?
)
I was driving about 50 in pre rush hour on I35E and I635 in the same kind of Honda Insight with a reporter from the Dallas Morning News -
check out his account.
Bottom line is Glenn was legal and not in anyone's way....if you keep an eye out it's no problem.
