    Was this the fine example of law enforcement that pulled you over?

    It seems like you’re drifting a bit onto the shoulder. Not bad. That’s how I always drive. Keeps the 4 wheelers away. Seriously, looks like you drifted behind the merging car a bit. I will do that purposely sometimes if the car seems to be having trouble judging my speed. In other words get behind them a bit. Seems to work. I hope that Trooper never gets behind me. He’s not picking, making excuses, No way were you “ Weaving all over the road”.

    Ok fair enough, from that camera angle it looks like you’re drifting to the right repetitively, but if you’re not then, yeah you got pulled over and checked out just to be checked out. It sure looks like you’re drifting to the right several times but maybe I’m wrong.

    So, it was safer to pull you over on the shoulder, and risk a collision and people wonder why these LEOs get killed. Drifting a little, BIG DEAL, that's what a paved shoulder is for. I had a county mountie ( a young punk, he was, gonna make a difference type) pull me over in my Jeep on a very windy day on our crap roads, said I was all over the road, bullhunky, I said, "it is a windy day and it is a Jeep", but what I wanted to say, was you bozo, my Jeep isn't a new Suburban, but wisely kept my big mouth shut. He clearly was checking for impaired drivers, and who knows, the last red Jeep Wrangler he pulled over, beer cans may have rolled out the door. You were framed, my friend, I didn't see anything wrong with your driving, in fact I thought just fine, jeez, see, thing is today, you're guilty until proven innocent, and while if a ticket was issued, with that video would easily be thrown out, but the whole mess just clogs the system and pads many pockets along the way. Oh, it was so much easier in 1985:(

    steering gear or other front end components might be getting worn out. Makes it hard to keep it steady in the lane when that stuff starts getting loose and sloppy.

    So you ask for honest opinion then get a little defensive when someone gave said opinion....it wasn't much but you definitely were drifting....and it's a warning so who cares

    Its human nature to get defensive,i wasn’t disrespectful,didn’t call anyone names,was just trying to see it from other people perspective.
