If you don't mind me asking, why was he chased down?

I don't quite remember - but I think he might have passed the cop when he got onto the 401 - and I guess the cop took exception, because he chased him from 401/404 all the way to Major Mackenzie (even driving on the shoulder to chase him).
Hard to believe, because my dad is a pretty slow driver nowadays (used to be very aggressive) - but he has a passive-aggressive streak (he's one of those people who speed up when he sees someone trying to cut him off).
Still, my mom was with him that day, and she would've said something if my dad had really done something stupid - so my interpretation would be that this cop just flipped out on him for some reason (maybe he was pissed that my dad wouldn't pull over for some mystery car)
