ahead of me on Bangerter (I'm coming from Eagle Mountain). I wondered why a motorcycle had 3 sets of lit lights on the back of the bike (yellow on top, blue in middle and red on bottom). The red were your normal running/brake lights. When we stopped on the bridge over I-15 preparing to enter onto the interstate, I saw that on the back of his shirt it said "Trooper." That was the first time I knew it was a law enforcement individual. Coming from Eagle Mountain every morning I see about 3-8 municipal patrolmen cars scampering up to Salt Lake County, probably to start work at 6 a.m. So seeing law enforcement individuals among us is very normal.

I saw on the license plate of the motorcycle the yellow beehive you normally see on the side of State Trooper cars/trucks.

He took off toward I-15 and was at 80 very quickly. I stayed with him (but behind him to not appear to be following him as I was curious what he was going to do). He came up behind a car that was probably doing about 83-85. He stayed behind him for about a mile and switched lanes. I thought he must just be going to work. Then he was following another car doing about that same speed. As noted, I'm at that same speed, but behind him a car or two. All of a sudden his lights go blazing and he pulls over that 2nd car. We were probably 3-5 miles north of where we got on the interstate, so he was an active trooper.

What amazed me is why the 2nd car and not the 1st. Same speed. And all he had to do was wait a moment as right after that, a car blazed by me doing about 90. I try to not exceed 80 and have never had a problem. Apparently, you don't want to get much north of that. It's hard for drivers to pick out motorcycle troopers among us. This was at 5:30-5:40 AM. Just an observation.
