Ind. trooper lauded as 'hero' for citing 'slowpoke' driver

A couple of months ago, I was going north with the motorhome and toad on a section I-88 where the right lane is really a bad washboard. I was running the 65 MPH speed limit in the much smoother left lane with no traffic around when I noticed a state trooper coming along at a much faster speed in the left lane, but still well back from me. As he got closer, I moved over into the shaky right lane to let him go by. He slowed down as pulled even with my drivers side window and stuck his left arm in the air with a "thumbs up", and then gave me a "move left" wave as he sped up and pulled away. That section of road has been bad for years, and I know I'm not the first one to ride the left lane as much as possible through it. OTR truckers do it regularly in that section despite the "Keep right except to pass." signs along the highway. In their defense, the NYDOT has been working pretty steadily on I-88 repaving for the last few years, but I do hope they get to that section soon!
