A Subaru is following Mercedes van too close to force it give way and it does after few moments.
Then the Subaru speeds as soon as the van moves over so as to reclaim the lost time that van wasted.
Bad idea.
This uphill has a curve and there's always a cop.
Sometimes, it's a SUV, sometimes a car and sometimes 2 motorcycle cops.
Due to the small road that curves away from this highway and few small trees where the cop car hides, it's very hard to see them until it's too late.
I always slow down there even if they are not there as you can't see from that far.
The van moves over at 00:15 and the cop is already rolling to pull her over at 00:30.
That few seconds will be costly to her.
Speed limit there is 55 but usually around 60 is okay as I've driven around that when cops are present and so far so good.
What makes it worse is there's a downhill before that stretch so everyone speeds up.
My camera shows around 66mph on the downhill before uphill starts so the Subaru was well over 70.

Nothing like peeling off into another lane at the last moment leaving them no hole to escape the lane I was in which I could see slowing, but they couldn't see for being too close to my rear bumper
