On the other side of things, one time as a teenager we were coming home from Chicago at 4am and my friend was driving over 100 mph. We don't know how fast we were going because the meter was pegged. We passed a officer sitting in the median and my friend slowed down. The cop disappeared from view only to re-appear a few seconds later with his lights on. He told us that had we not slowed down he never could of caught us.

lol i had a similar experience. i got my license back the day before prom (yes, i was the bane of the local police, suspended license 7 times before i graduated hs). got into a little altercation with a convertible full of meathead jocks, they tossed a bottle at my car. came in thru the window, i got it off the seat and tossed it out the sun roof at them, hitting the trunk. chased me for about 5 miles at 80-120mph down rural rd in tempe/ scottsdale at 3am. at southern the road was a big speed bump on both sides of the intersection. i hit the first bump, sparked the hell out of my chassis and flew over the second bump 4 lanes past. there was a cop sitting at the red light going the other way, watched both of us fly thru at 110ish. took him4 more miles to catch up to us, and only stopped me. let them keep on going. the cops dont give up unless they have to here. that would never happen now tho, now they have to back off to avoid a dangerous hi speed chase scene. back in thee mid 80s they would chase you until you ran out of gas, even up onto the res. you dont want to get stopped on the res tho. thats a whole different scary thing.

Speeding isn't a federal offense. Either is eluding arrest.

So what's the point, run from the cops right?

that is showing off.

I've known a few people that have "run" from the cops in the small town I'm from in NY. One was a friend who was coming down a hill into town where there is a speed trap (speed limit drops from 55-30 while coming down a steep hill into an unpopulated area, doesn't make a ton of sense). He passed a cop going around 45 and saw the cop's brakes light up and saw him turn around. So he took his first left he could off the street and then took every side street he could while making his way across town. Ended up parking his car behind my house and hanging out for a few hours before driving home just in case the cop was still looking.

However another friend of mine tried to out run a state trooper on the highway(his car didn't go over 80..) in the snow. Cop caught up to him at the exit put him in the back of the cruiser and started yelling at him for making him speed in the snow (cop also mentioned he was 30 seconds from calling ahead to the other troopers). My friend lost his license for a year due to that.

So basically it's only worth it if you are positive you can get away with it. Which is pretty rare.

Take the frickin' exit.... EVERY TIME. Just cuz you took an exit, it doesn't mean that you noticed the policeman in the first place. Maybe it just looked like a nice place to take the exit. You could be out for a nice Sunday drive with no particular destination in mind. It really doesn't matter where you are headed. You are a licensed driver in a licensed car and you can lawfully drive on any public roadway as you please. If he doesn't see you, then you get away. If he does and chases you down, then pull over and take your ticket. It's not evading unless you make an obvious attempt at avoiding arrest.

They will tell you: "You can't out run Motorola."

What about Icom? :laugh:

Last time I tried evading a state trooper, I returned to my house to find him waiting for me in my driveway.

Well, it doesn't sound like the OP intended to try a high speed get-a-way. He had already dropped down to the speed limit and thought about taking an exit.

I think I would have exited, especially if I knew where the exit led to.

I hope you don't still drive.

It is all fair game before his lights come on. I'm pretty sure I avoided a DUI one time.

 

[theflyingpig]

He didn't have his lights on so there is no way he can say you were running from him. I would have taken the nearest exit and found the nearest hiding spot and camped out until I felt safe. Everyone knows this.

I might have avoided a ticket once. I passed by a speed trap going 75 in a 65 (in this area cops are notorious for writing tickets for going >5 mph over). About a quarter mile later I saw him pull onto the highway and turn his lights on. But just behind me one semi started to pass another semi (really slowly) and I kept going at ~70. I think by the time the cop got past the two semi's I was a mile ahead of him, although I could still see his lights on far behind. He never caught up with me though and I thought I was lucky, although I'm not sure if he was after me or not.
