Dumb Volvo driver....

So I'm headed west on the NY Thruway on Monday, running a safe and sane 80 mph in very light traffic. Up comes this Volvo S80. I was in the left lane passing a couple of trucks and I move over and let him by. He proceeds to run about 95 and I follow staying back about a quarter mile. Nice to have a good rabbit in front!
He slows down and I can see he is coming up on a NY trooper running about 85 in the left lane. Volvo now paces the cop, but only about 100-150 feet behind him. I am now maybe 150 yards back.
The Volvo continues to pace the cop for about 3 miles, both in the left lane, and is actually closing the distance between him and the cop who has dialed it back to about 80. Finally the cop slows down to about 70, pulls to the right lane and the Volvo PASSES him.
The cop hits the lights and pulls the Volvo over. Amazing what people do. Would love to have heard that conversation.
