Funny, but true story.  There's this guy I work out with who's a state trooper.  When I
told him about how there was one of his fellow troopers dogging me and how I felt trapped
because I had no way to get out of the passing lane -- he came up from behind me and I
slowed down and could only slowly pass the guys on the right -- his exact words were:

"Sometimes the donut shops call the barracks and offer a fresh new batch of free donuts
and coffee to us.  Don't get in the way when that happens."

I laughed, and he said, "I'm not kidding."
