Yeah, honestly, I would be supremely annoyed to have some cop phone my cell to give me a lecture about anything, particularly for going the speed limit.
I think OP was going too fast for the conditions, personally. Well, such is life. I see a lot worse out there. I don't need phone calls to my wife or a cop chasing me down to...tell me not to drive fast? That's so dumb. Cop had to drive fast to tell me to drive slower than he was just driving? What? You have to be kidding.
Also curious about the vehicle the cop was in. A RWD Charger on summer tires? Yeah, yesterday would have felt psycho at speed. AWD Explorer with winter tires? He should have felt pretty sure footed. I just think it's possible his vehicle and tire situation could have greatly affected his judgement about OP, although OP rocking all seasons is a bit obtuse and sort of flies in the face of common sense and objective facts about winter tires and rubber compounds.
Regardless, if a cop called me I would literally laugh in his face assuming it wasn't real. And if he asked me to call the non-emergency line to confirm I absolutely would not have. I don't need two lectures and I certainly don't need a homework assignment from a cop upset that I was going the speed limit.
