I really can't stand paranoid drivers. Yesterday I was following a guy on the freeway. He was going two miles over the speed limit. Driving in the opposite direction, across a wide grassy median was a state patrol car. So what does this guy do? Of course he steps on the brakes.
#1 - A cop in a moving car cannot radar you.
#2 - He was going in the opposite direction across a wide median.
#3 - No cop is going to give you a ticket for go 2 over the speed limit.
Another thing I can't stand is drivers who ride your bumper thinking they can bully you into driving faster. I encountered this on my way to work. I checked my speedometer - a good 8 miles over the limit. That's good enough for me. Eventually the guy went around, and here's the part I find annoying, he didn't accelerate away. Drivers like this have the old mentality that a cop will always pull over the car in the lead and anyone following can just say they were keeping pace. Once they find themselves in the lead they slow down. Damn cowards.

Actually, cops CAN accurately register speeds of oncoming or same direction vehicles while their own vehicles are in motion. FYI.
I think you just revealed a trade secret.
