I have been experimenting with driving lower than the PSL on the homeward leg of my commute because I work second-shift, and am on 65-70mph roads from around 12:10 to 12:40am every weeknight. Since there is minimal traffic, the only thing I have to worry about is being pulled over on suspicion of drunk driving. Yeah, don't laugh, it happened to my wife when she was driving 5 under going up a large hill! The cops around here are under pressure to pull over drunken college students (of which there are many) and they cast their nets a little wide sometimes.
I believe it. Actually during late hours many fatal accidents are caused not only by drunken drivers, but by drivers who fall asleep at the wheel. Falling asleep while driving is just as deadly as drunk driving - maybe even more so.

If the cop follows you and he finds that you are going slower and slower, his suspicion is reasonable.
