Yeah, I saw that. But WHY? The statutes ALLOW him to go as slow as he wants; there is no statutory minimum speed. And as per statute, he moved all the way to the right, presumably to let faster traffic past. So unless there was a lot of bobbing and weaving going on that made him too unpredictable to pass and/or going over centerline, I don't see the legal basis for this action.

However- as noted- I won't defend bobbing and weaving and going over centerline if that is what was going on.

Plus, that road isn't all that heavily travelled, especially at 1 a.m.

However, that is probably a large part of why he attracted attention to himself, because 1 a.m. is when the entire State is blanketed with law enforcement phishing for drunks.

It was exceedingly poor judgement to keep driving in the manner he did when the cop stopped him then followed. However if it isn't illegal...
