edit: i wasn't driving erratically either. because i had to turn into the restaurant so quickly, i turned into the right lane. he may have thought that i cornered at a higher than hyundai speed, but that's the only reason i can possibly come up with for him to think i'm speeding. there's no law about how fast or slow you should corner though. m3 is like sticky tape on the road

man that sucks ... i guess he just wanted to see if u were doing anything illegal... maybe if you admitted that u were speeding, he would go back in his car and write u a ticket even though he didnt use any device to clock ur speed.
