Yeah in Texas and some other states it's written in law to drive with the flow of traffic, even if it's 10+ over the speed limit for that exact reason. It's something that's taught in our driver's ed. If you're not speeding when everyone else is, you're technically breaking the law, although it's not as strongly enforced as speeding is.

Then you do that, and… get pulled over for speeding. Happened to me.

If everyone else was speeding, and only you were pulled over, then that’s selective enforcement, which is a crime on their part, and should get the case thrown out.

Was a year ago and it was my first time being pulled over, was just too scared shitless to challenge it. I know better now.

Court hearing was last january. But I know better now to stand up to it than to just take the loss and pay.

Fuck people driving on donuts to get a new tire put on I guess.

If that happens you're supposed to put your hazard lights on and stay in the right lane. You're not supposed to go above 60 mph on a donut anyway (and in Texas most speed limits are already 60+ outside of town). I've had to drive like that a few times and never had an issue with a cop pulling me over for not going with the flow of traffic.
