IMHO... you should make sure your affairs are in order.
I can't tell if you're being facetious, but yeah, I've been buzzed by county and city police numerous times. The last was on a county road that recently has a lot of traffic due to another local road closure. A county cop who didn't think he needed to slow down passed within a foot, easily. There was a lot of oncoming traffic, so he couldn't give the 3-foot mandated by law. When a cop does this, it only enforces those who see it to do it as well.
