Also, pretty bad decision to be going fast in rain or fog as well. I know my vision isn't very good anyways (I have contacts) and I tend to drive at legal speeds in bad weather.

The only time they will pull someone over if an inattentive driver passes a LEO that is doing the limit or over (I've passed LEOs that were going under the limit where no one else would... they are usually on the phone or computer and being inattentive themselves). But you have to be a moron to not notice. "Speeding for conditions" while in rain is one that comes to mind where they *can* (but as I said, you have to be going REALLY fast).
I had one where the LEO pulled me over in the rain... because conditions and I wasn't running my wipers (headlights were on). I use rainx. "Here... put your head in and tell me if I need wipers (as the rain is just beading off)." "It's even better when you are at speed and it runs UP the windshield." I was doing the limit, and passed him doing the limit... because let me go because it was obvious I prepped my car FOR the conditions. Just a warning. (And I was in a Subaru)
