mobile speed bump n. A car that travels at the speed limit to force the cars behind to do the same.
Example Citations:
The city of Vancouver is exploring the idea of sanctioning a grass-roots traffic-calming program that enlists the silent majority of reasonable, rational, law-abiding drivers to stop being so silent.
Instead they'd slap NEIGHBORHOOD PACE CAR stickers on their vehicles and set a highly visible example by rolling down Vancouver streets at lawful speeds.
Yes, you heard right: Making Vancouver streets safer simply by making a public point of driving the posted speed limit.
—Scott Hewitt, "How'd you like to be a mobile speed bump?," The Columbian (Vancouver, WA), November 27, 2003
