It may seem clever and be fuel efficient, but what if everyone tried to do the same? Right now you are enjoying an advantage that is exclusively yours. Be sure to tell the cop what a good idea it was as he writes you the ticket.

Um, pulling over AKA yielding the right of way is mandated in many states and a common courtesy, all the older laws had statements that slow traffic, especially those with Slow moving vehicle signs are required to yield the right of way to faster traffic. At one time it was considered common courtesy since the old model T's wouldn't go over 45mph on flat ground.
