Nothing wrong with going the speed limit... However you were breaking the law. It is illegal in the State of Georgia to ride beside another car driving at the same speed on a multi-lane road.

Eh, the "Watermelon 500" is a trucker term describing crazy traffic on I-285 in Atlanta. Why watermelon? Because it refers to blacks and their disruptive driving habits. Ex: driving slow on the inside lane, driving fast on the outside lane, talking on cellphones while driving, riding to be seen instead of simply traveling, changing lanes with no signal, etc.

Last commenter was close. Truckers refer to I-285 as the Watermelon 500 because Atlanta has a high population of Black people. It also has been referred to by Truckers as Ring around the Congo.
