What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? North Carolina
Driving down the highway, as i know it, it is illegal to ride the left lane unless passing, i am in the left lane passing semis, came upon an unmarked white dodge charger. cruise control was set to 70 and i was gaining on them, so i moved over to the right lane to pass them as they were not moving and i was going at a safe speed. As soon as i got a hair passed, not far enough to safely move back over to pass the next semi, he sped up to my back quarter panel, stopping me from merging back over. I sped up a little more to try and get over before the semi thinking it was just another a** driver not wanting to be passed even though they are moving slowly in the fast lane. He again sped up to not let me in, this happened a few times until i was almost to the semi and was going almost 80 at this point. so i let off the gas to get back in behind him. all the sudden lights inside of his car come on and he pulls me over. He cited me for going 87 in a 65, i was not, and cited me for tail gating him at unsafe speeds and distances for the road and weather conditions. the road was almost empty and it was a bright 88 degree day and i came nowhere near him before moving to the right lane. So not only did he try and bait me into speeding in an unmarked car, he was driving recklessly and impeding me from changing lanes to avoid a slow moving semi. I was otw to another state and about 4-4.5 hours from my house. so now i have a 4-4.5 hour drive to go to court god knows how many times to play a he said she said game. he did say he caught it all on dashcam, so i am hoping i can get that and show he was driving recklessly and impeding me all because he did not want passed, which cop or not, breaking the law is breaking the law. if you are not passing in the left and someone is trying to pass you, you move. Any advice?
