The teenager who lives like it's the 1940s

One of my former cars had a distinctly police car outline for the time and location that I owned it. When I drove speed limit I noticed a the same effect, especially certain lighting conditions like if I was driving into a sunset. It's a worse situation because some (or many) people are literally afraid to pass what they think is a police car.

As others have pointed out. If not in a rush, driving slightly under the speed limit is very relaxing.

I drove an actual old police car bought at auction which included a spotlight. The problem was more people in front of me slowing down to the speed limit or a little slower, which was annoying.

I owned a Crown Victoria, particularly at night - if I didn't drive 10+ over the speed limit I'd bring the freeway to a halt.

At night I could part the red sea with it (people would just move out of my way if I was going like I was in a hurry) though.
