I'll throw another one out. Several years ago, I was driving down I-80 at the legal 75 mph in the right lane when I came up behind an ambulance in the passing lane going 50 mph with all the lights flashing.
I didn't feel comfortable passing him, so I initially hung behind him. Posed minimum speed is 45 mph. Very shortly, we had traffic piled up behind us for a mile or more. I assume every expletive known to the English language was being voiced repeatedly in the mass of vehicles behind.

A couple of weeks later, I mentioned it to a Nebraska State Trooper I knew. He said he couldn't imagine why the ambulance was acting as it was, but that I'd done the right thing by passing on the right and keeping traffic moving. Sometimes judgement and common sense does overrule.
