I'm assuming you were on 183 since you were near Luling and heading toward New Braunfels. Also, slow moving vehicles running on the shoulder of two lane roads in the country is common. I'm not sure why people would be worried about you passing other vehicles. I've passed many vehicles driving a semi on two lane US highways. I also understand why you'd be exceeding the speed limit, because you want to get around the vehicle and back into your own lane asap.

I think it's important for you to put this experience in perspective. It's best not to assume the worst about other people. You have no way of knowing what was on the officer's mind. She may have been on the lookout for a criminal and felt stopping you for speeding was an inconvenience. She may have had indigestion. She might have just dealt with an angry spouse or boyfriend and didn't feel much like talking.

I take the officer's lack of concern about your friend getting back in the vehicle as an indication that she already judged you and your friend as non-threatening. People make those sorts of judgments all the time, and officers are especially adept at them because they deal with people so frequently. Chalk it up to a bad day and move on with your life.
