Default Cop clocks Corvette convoy.

I can see this happening to a CL member meet as well.

Sheriff's Deputy Rick Miller works his way down a line of five of eight Corvettes he stopped on July 14 for speeding near Lake Crystal, Minnesota. The drivers were en route to the Black Hills Corvette Classic in South Dakota. Miller had clocked them on Highway 60 going 95 mph in a 65 mph zone.

Well, let's think about the intelligence level of your average Corvette owner.

Funny thing is, the other three drivers that didn't get nailed probably hit over 100mph or so when they could no longer see in their rear view mirror Deputy Miller on the shoulder of the road with those five.
I'm sure those five drivers didn't enjoy themselves the rest of the day.

I guess they thought they were big and bad w/ their corvettes. I wonder if deputy Miller even gave them a speeding ticket?

I am not sure if you have ever had to deal with 100+ mph ticket or a DUI but it is exactly the same thing. I bet you that those Vettes were going faster too.
