But that particular car WAS going the speed limit. Was actually going a little FASTER than the surrounding traffic. So the second rule in this case doesn't apply.
And since there was no audible warning, the first doesn't apply. The truth is - the cop was in the wrong, was speeding, wanted to speed MORE, and tailgaited. He should get a ticket for his actions. And a light reprimand for doing it while in a police car. But, as the overall act did not cause any damage (even if there was the potential for an accident due to the poor driving), I am inclined to not care very much. Cop was a jerk, but so were about half of the other drivers in that video.
