No problems with LEO's around here. Once my daughter took the lane on her lowracer and was followed by a
cop for about 3/4 mile before she turned off. Pretty nice as no one wanted to pass the cop and the cop wasn't going to cross the double yellow. If you're not feeling safe with FRAP, you can take the lane.
