If there were so many cars that both lanes were blocked behind me that would be one thing. I keep my speed up closer to the speed limit when that situation does happen.
As far as cops looking for something odd or different, I completely agree. They're trained to do that and SHOULD do that. I have no problem whatsoever with the officer pulling me over for suspicion.

The relevants of the time of day, location, traffic count is that if you want the judge to agree with you that the movement was safe he/she will need some evidence to judge which statement is more credable, yours or the peace officers. In the abcents of evidence it's a coin toss. contact the highway department they ususaly have that type of info. I think you have a very good chance of being found not guilty. just keep this in mind when making your desision about going to trial; " ...evidence and argument on the evidence...". told to me by a lawer. this statement has helped me over the years to undersrand the legal system.
