I think the trooper will pull over the S... reason being is that the SUVs go over the speed limit all the time but they dont' swerve or race with other cars. The s2000, however, is a sports car and even at 80 mph, is in a class of cars known for swerving and cutting people off. Swerving at 50 mph is more dangerous than cruising at 80 mph.

 

a state trooper may grab the SUVs, one or all, because, at least if you believe the news, they are looking for other things. in the I-95 corridor where I lived for several years, SUVs were targets, and if they had FL plates they were cop magnets.

there was also a big stink in MD about skin-color profile issues.


if I were a cop, I'd always go for a car with more people in it. You've got a better chance of catching a warrant or other interesting activity. But, I could never be a cop, I'd be taser happy and wing runners all the time.

 

Speaking from experience, twice over, I was singled out for driving a sports car and I was being passed at the time!

In both cases, I asked the PO "with all do respect, why didn't you pull over the vehicles passing me." Each time the PO matter of factly said "You were driving the sports car."

I have heard this same thing (being singled out) with others I know driving sports cars.

By the way, the second time I fought the tickets received and got the front plate ticket dropped and the speed fine reduced from a $140 to $25, plus court costs of $55. Not to say, I was happy with the outcome, but it was better than nothing. The judge got a kick out of me fighting the ticket and telling the story (I was one of very few not in shackles and handcuffs in the courtroom).

Sports Cars = PO Magnets

 

Well if I were the trooper, I guess I would do what troopers do, act like as big a douchebag as I can possibly muster.

 

If I were a trooper, I'd shoot myself.

 

I hear ya..
I see so many SUVs speeding like crazy.
SOBs thinking they're bigger than everyone on the road.
If I were the cop, I'd pull all 4 over and let the S go first.
Then give the tickets to the SUVs.

I'd love to be a trooper though. Chasing down people all day. Come on now. I'd never be able to afford most of the cars I pull over though.. :-(

 

bah, 90 is nothin, I was averaging about 100-110 yesterday on a 100 mile trip...just not in the S at what, 5500 screaming rpm?

 

I arrest anyone going 90 in a construction zone!

 

You're supposed to follow the 3 SUVs with you Valentine 1 on. That way, when the cop clocks the first SUV, you hit the brakes.
