Ontario Provincial Police: Speeders

Highway Patrol Car Dept: I stop for fuel and a sandwich, and walking back to the car realize why speeders are taking such an interest in me. From a distance the silver Chevy Impala rental car I'm driving has "the look" of an unmarked police cruiser, the kind seasoned speeders keep an eye out for, according to Vancouver Sun. Everyone has had incidents of mistaken identity out on the highway, which in the case of those pesky unmarked police "ghost" cars, can lead to surprise attacks on the pocket book and i'm on cruise control, motoring west along Ontario's Highway 401 toward Detroit at a respectable 110 kilometres an hour when I first notice it. Speeders approaching in the overtaking lane ease off as they come up behind me, then creep up along side before accelerating back to a cruising speed that obviously would be of interest to the Ontario Provincial Police. In my youth, a retired highway patrol car was high on my wanted list. Those mid-'60s Chevs, Fords and Dodges had hot police interceptor engines, and with their vented dogdish hub caps, sway bars and throaty dual exhaust, the base model units had 'the look' down pat.
