Quite honestly there were two occasions where I ran from police. Both times they were heading the opposite direction. Both times I was going enough over the speed limit that they decided to whip a u-turn and toss their lights on and come after me. Both times by the time they turned around I Had already turned left or right into a residential neighbourhood. Both times I parked my car in a dark alley and stayed there for a couple of minutes.

I would never try to outrun the police under any other circumstance. You just can't beat them.

 

not in a car, on my bike is a different story.

 

I has to be the right situation. I've personally witnessed it 3 times.

 

I was in a mates car, we had both been drinking though not a huge amount (years ago when we were young and foolish ), he was speeding and we passed a police car going the other way .... the police car put his lights on and was trying to u-turn, my mate put his foot down and swung a couple of quick turns, into a side road turned the engine off and killed the lights. We left the car there got a taxi home and collected the car in the morning .....

 

Unless your car can fly, you cannot outrun cops.

 

Both times that I was able to give them the slip, I was driving a car that could not outrun them, just knew the roads better. One I pulled into a U driveway, (driving a 1968 Ford Falcon 6cyl) and the other was on snowmobile trails (driving a 1963 Chevy Biscayne 6cyl). They eventually caught up to us in the Chevy but we weren't in the car and the car was not running. They had never gotten my license number and had lost sight of me before they stumbled on us. They had gained several dents in the patrol car trying to negotiate the snowmobile trail, and had gotten stuck in soft sand on a curve. These were trails that my friends and I drove down all the time in our cars, and we knew exactly how fast you had to go to not get stuck. Just so you know these were extremely rural and wooded areas.

 

Back when I was in highschool one of the kids had a cherry GTO. Blown with a hood scoop, a beautiful black paint job and rims NOT made by crager. He out ran the cops, laid low for about an hour and then drove home. When he got there the cops were sitting at the kitchen table with his folks. They didn't need the plate number, his car was one of a kind.

 

My fellow counselors over in the trial bar would like to thank all you guys and gals who run from the cops! You're what puts their kids through school!

 

I'm with XViper and some others here.

If you run from the Cops you're not only a moron, but you're a jackass because now you're putting their lives in danger by having to chase your dumb asses and any other poor soul who happens to be in your immediate vicinity.

I know a few people who were stupid enough to run from the cops on bikes. About 1/2 of them got away. The other 1/2 had a very unpleasant experience. I can't imagine anyone (at least in S. CA) successfully running from the cops. Too congested, too many police, and too many helicopters.

If you run, then you're dumb.

 

Da Hapa are you a lawyer?

If the glove doesn't fit, you must acquit!
