Reason for the thread was simple... Wanted to see how many have attempted .. And wanted to see who else has gotten away..

Personally I have a a couple points on my liscense and if I get another it goes bye-bye ... The other night I got hit with laser and needless to say didn't pull over..

This thread is just getting more and more "interesting"
By your own admission of the "way things are", YOU STILL SPEED?
Sorry, but
To add to the "near zero neuronal" activity, you got lazered and DIDN'T STOP?
DO NOT PASS GO! DO NOT COLLECT $200.00!
Am I the only one who thinks this whole "picture" should be wrapped around a piece of bubble gum?

Well back in february i was doin a little over the speed limit cough cough 79 in 45 cough cough and saw the cop go the other way and get in the turn lane to come after me. he didnt turn his lights on or anything but i dropped her into 4th and took off like a bat outta hell, i got into the parking lot of a Wal Mart with lots of cars, got my friend to come pick me up and came back at night. While i was walking otu to my car, there was a cop blocking me in, when i got there he was kind enough not to arrest me but handed me a nice ticket for 34 over . That sucker was good enough to use up my prayer for judgement and 25 hours of community service.... and that was the 1st ticket/wreck id ever been in.

the only time I did it was on an open highway at 2am, zero traffic. Already doing 90, by the time the officer pulled out on to the freeway, the car was in 4th gear and wound up to 140 until the next exit. The cop never even put his lights on, and the "chase" lasted probably 3 seconds total. I would never atempt to run from the cops in any kind of a city street, or any street that wasn't open highway with exits at 2am.
