From the sound of the car engine as he pulled past me (sounded like the Concorde taking off) I'm pretty sure he was speeding and well on his way to going faster.
Real cop?? I don't know. Like I said I wasn't wearing my glasses so his "badge and ID card" were fuzzy and he only flipped his wallet open for less than 2 seconds. I guess he was trying to impress me (not) or frighten me (not).
I pulled out my "Give 3 feet when passing flyer" but he wasn't interested. Typical. Many law enforcement officials in Georgia, maybe most, don't know the law regarding cyclists and don't care about learning it.
