Well, like you, I am a speedster. I drove from Colorado Springs CO all the way to Austin TX doing about 90 and some points doing about 100mph. I didn't get stopped though
The other day though in my hometown of Austin, I was doing about 100mph going down I-35 folling an Explorer and a Chevy P/U. All of a sudden I looked in my rearview to see a cop with the red and blues on weaving through traffic behind me. I slowed down to about 70 and looked again to see he was behind me. Like you I was nervous at this point, so I put on my blinker and started to move over. He went right by me! I figured this was to good to be true and all 3 of us were getting pulled over. He passed by the Chevy P/U and kept on going. I was at this point looking for an exit off the Highway, and took the next one. So I am watching the cop on I-35 and see him move to the shoulder and slow to almost a stop. All of a sudden he busted a u-turn and was coming up the on ramp that enters the Interstate! I was like "no way". I just knew I was so busted. Come to find out the Eplorer had exited off already and the cop pulled behind them and stopped them. I busted a left turn at the red light and never saw him again!.....Lucky me!
Sometimes you get away and sometimes you don't. But the real moral here is you got to pay to play. If the price is higher than your willing to pay, then I guess you need a new game.
I am glad to hear things worked out to your favor, but hope you will learn from and evaluate what has happened.
Good luck to you and the many more miles you will be driving.

You guys have to learn to slow down a bit... either that or get radar detectors

Well...I thought about that...but I figured with a radar detector the cops just wouldn't be as forgiving if they actually did come for me...hmm...

The thing is... I have a green neon between my sunvisors and apparently thats what he saw when he went by the opposite way and when he passed me! So... AND THERE WAS ALSO A REST AREA RIGHT AFTER HE PASSED ME THE OPPOSITE WAY!!! HE WOULD HAVE FLOWN BY...!! MAYBE? OR JUST RADIO'D BEHIND TO HAVE THEM CHECK BECAUSE ANOTHER COP PULLED RIGHT BEHIND HIM!! There all over I-495 IN MAINE WATCH IT GUYS AND GALS! But I think when funds are rebulit its gonna be a laser/radar dector for me!!! I NEED ONE BAD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Thanx for your "support"

A detector would probably be a good idea Kevin...especially when you think of how fast you'll probably cruise to without even thinking about it once you get them amps crankin.... Lemme know how it's going sometime and maybe I can come check it out...

Radar/laser detectors are pretty useful, but a radar/laser Jammer is a valuable thing to have if your a speedster like most of us. Most cost about the same price as a big ticket, some less. Beware of the cheap jammers for the do not work even when they guarantee to pay your hot ticket. Check out jamradar.com for some of the best jammers on the market that WORKS.

The greatest cop story i have was... I was doing 108 down a 40mph street and i just started to brake and saw a cop up ahead. I had 5 people in the car. Grand Prix GTPs move! The cop clocked my at 66 and let me go because we made up some stupid story about how some kids were following us and i got away. I was kind of shocked when i had only had my license for 2 weeks. Needless to say i have been driving since i was 13!! Posts: 1 | From: IL USA | Registered: Feb 2002

Geez I never get the cool cops. Every cop that stops me has to tack on all kinds of violations. Guess I better try crying the next time. But that won't happen for a while cuz I would like to keep my license. Needless to say my driving record isn't very good. Oops!!

I was pulling out of a drive-thru car wash last year (I know - blasphemous car washes - but whattayagonnado). I had a zippy little Miata at the time, and it was always fun to swing the rear out and squeal the tires like crazy when were all wet and a little soapy.
So I whip outta there, but this time I overdo it and wind up completely sideways - but I'm still moving, and now I am basically facing the gas station next to the car wash. Logic says "you're sideways in the middle of a busy road, so get going" - so I keep my foot down, pull into the gas station, blast past the pumps, and zip out onto the road again, laughing my a$$ off as the people at the gas station stare at me like "WTF was that all about?"
A few blocks down the road, I see a cop flying up behind me. I pull over right away, knowing full well he saw what I did. He walks up - asks me for my license and regi, then asks just what the hell I think I am doing. I tell him that I was sorry - that I was trying to take off outta there, but I wasn't intending to spin the tires and all - and that the car just got away from me. He asks me why I pulled into the gas station - I explain my logic, he shrugs and walks away.
He comes back to the car, and says "Now, friend - you are getting a little bit old to be acting like a teenager, don't you think?" Chuckling, I agree. He asks me to slow it down. Then as he's alking away, he turns back to say "By the way - you DID look pretty cool doing it - but you gotta learn how to straighten it out again if you want it to look right." What a cool cop! We laughed like crazy.

Well... back in my day I did a bit of "hasty driving" and I'm pretty sure my record was a verbal warning for 80 in a 20. The cop had been standing outside his car at the time, and I just roared past him. He runs to his car, catches me at the stop sign (where I waited, because I knew he was coming) walks up "Do you know how fast you were going?!" "Yes officer, I do... but you don't" He just looked at me, smiled and said "Man, that took some balls... You know I could write you up for estimated speed right?" I just told him that if he did, we'd both end up wasting a day in court, and no judge in the state would believe that my POS truck could have been moving that fast. The cop laughed and sent me on my way with no more than a "Slow down a little"

I have so many cop stories is silly. My first was in my bronco 2. I just got my license it was my first day driving. I was cruising along at 60 when this cop slams on his brakes flys off the road and throws dirt everywhere to turn around. I'm like oh junk speed limit must have been 45 so I slow down to 45 and set the cruise. He followed me for 7 miles before pulling me over. He came up to the window which doesn't go down, I was in the process of converting to power windows and as I start to open the door he draws his gun. I'm like oh **** man, the windown doesn't go down... So he calms down and asks if I've been drinking. I laugh and say no why? He tells me I've been swerving and doing 44 in a 55 for over 5 miles now. I just laughed and he laughed and he handed me my license and I was on my way. Got pulled over in the same truck (straight pipes) by a sheriff because he said it sounded like I was going fast... Had a cop give me a warning in my car cause I changed lanes too fast. He said I was driving recklessly and he could write me a ticket for it. Been chased countless time at 120+ mph but never got caught. Had a cop chase me through the woods in my truck. The set up roadblocks and eventually caught me when I came out. Totaled out that cop car though, it was pretty cool.

How about an audio story. I going down International Speedway after the races in Daytonya and i see a car skid to a stop in the medain about 1000 feet away. I was bumping my stero pretty hard because my friends were in the car next to me. Well the car in the medain all of a sudden has blue and red lights and his roof and now there are behind me so i pull over after shutting down my stero and the cop walks up to me"Son, do you know why i pulled you over?" "Yes officer i kinda think i know why." Ticket, $44 noise ordiance. Making a cop stop and wait for my stero, priceless.

Best one I've had relates to how little "action" there is in my hometown. It was right around Christmas and it had just snowed and a buddy of mine and I went sledding in a local park (completely legal). We were dressed in tons of cold weather gear, ski mask, parka, snow pants, the works. We get in my buddies 1977 Ford Truck and head throw town to a restaurant that's open late and has good hot chocolate (it about 1-2 am on a weeknight when we got done). We take off throw town, and haven't gone that far when a cop does a "smokey" 180 right behind us and comes up to pull us over. We pull over and wait. The cop comes behind us and just sits in his car. Knowing that we're not supposed to get out, we just sit there. 2 more cop cars show up, all running lights and sirens to where we were stopped. After they're all there, they get out, hands on guns and ask us to get out of the truck and put our hands on the hood. They wanted to know what we were doing out late at night dressed that way. We said "sledding." After finding the sleds in the back of the truck, they gave us a verbal warning for not having our headlights on and sent us on our way. Turns out we were "attempted robbery" suspects according to the local paper, even though no robberies had been committed. 3 cop cars for 2 guys who didn't have their lights on, must have been a slow night.

Two years ago I was on a weeks vacation from work. One day I mowed the lawn and had about a six pack of cheap beer. I was feeling good! Later that evening I decided to stop by our local strip joint. Well you know what happens there...On my way home going through the toll. Me and this other car get into it to the sound of the coin. Speed shifting all gears, finally reaching 120MPH. I backed off and ditch the Prelude. Letting it coast...then there I saw it a State cop on the shoulder. About a half mile later on the side of the road. He told me to get out, of course; give the field test, failed all of it. "yeah, I had three". He asked me to blow...OK.Just 1 tenth below the legal limited. He let my go but with a $40 fine cause I appeared in court. Now that remember the cop asked me how fast have I driven my porsche. I tipped the speedometer. 165MPH. He shake head. I was lucky.

Maybe you should try showing a little more of the puppies next time you get pulled over . I guess if that doesn't work, you could try crying.
