A civilian......LMAO you had nothing to worry about.

Does he even know what technically is reckless driving?

If soemone passes you, uses there signal and passes in a passing Zone.
then ,even if you had a loud exhuast and startled him,it is a legal pass.



this is why civilian complaints are taken with a grain of Salt when it come to traffic.

OP, just pass as you see fit.

Johnny law scared you. just in case it was true.

He had ZERO authority. You should have shut the door on him.

So tired of civilian authorities . You were never in any danger of anything.

That is a lil rough man, sounds like the cop was respectful to her.

We HAVE to make contact..exactly like you said, we have absolutely no authority to issue a citation unless we observe or can observe a violation through state installed and certified traffic cameras. Either way, I work in FL and just as you and I know I cannot issue the citation, but if someone files a complaint I HAVE to at least make contact with the person...

All I say in a respectful manner is someone complained you were driving fast...I cannot issue a citation, this is just a respectful request to please slow down and keep yourself save in a residential area....done. Now if its a state road or I4 complaint, I am not knocking on any doors.

She could have slammed the door on his face, but why...he wasn't there to scare you if she asked troopers and THEIR state allows those complaints to result in a court appearance. The cop never said he could write a ticket..only have BOTH parties appear in court where she would win anyways...
