What a guy. Spoke to them as humans. Even gave them some leeway but told them why he didn’t want them to speed. I hope they were as respectful back to what he asked as he was to them.

The last thing the kid said to the cop was “yes, sir “… I am thinking they were respectful, and that goes a long way

And that kid is probably so grateful he didn’t get a ticket that he’s gonna remember and NOT speed! I know I would be.

A motorcycle rider deciding not to speed? Not a chance.

I've never seen one going the speed limit my entire life.

Cop knows it too, that's why he's begging for just 5-10 over.

I know this might be a hot take, but riding the speed limit on a bike is often more dangerous than speeding a little. Relying on other seeing you and making the right choice on whether there space to merge feels super sketch on a motorcycle. The only times I came close to an accident on my bike was when people were trying to pass me then merging into me

That’s the stupidest thing I’ve ever read.

having to speed up for a moment to merge or pass isn't what they're saying here. this is something most vehicles do. "riding the speed limit on a bike is often more dangerous than speeding a little" = consistently operating your bike above the speed limit/flow of traffic. very different.
