Yesterday 07 01 1998 on my way back from Oklahoma, in St Louis MO AM
rush on east bound I 270 This is St Louis MO north side inter loop
beltway, motor cycle cop in lane 1 of 4 doing posted speed limit 60
MPH as I recall no traffic passing on right. Pack of traffic all 4
lanes for about 1/4 mile road wide open in front of cop. cop turns in
to crossover left lanes moves on and pack brakes up.
