I was doing 95 mph down a local motorway on friday night. The speed limit was 55. I blew past a cop who was on the median facing the other way. I pass him and I was like, "oh shit". Because he put on his reverse lights and backed into the shoulder. So in my impetous state I just mashed the gas.
I flew down the highway at about 120 mph on my way to an exit. A van saw me coming up on his tail, so it started to pull into the right lane and I was forced to pull half on the shoulder because he wouldn't have been out of the way in time. Right when I got to the top of the exit hill (which was long and straight) I saw the cop fly by on the highway with his lights on. It was intense.

While I have never run from a cop, I have two friends who do it with regularity (one of them was talking about how out-braking a CHP in a GT2 and watching him sail by is fun....i say retarded) and I am continually amazed at how they get away with it.

You can't outrun the radio....

Response to stuff:
1. You can call bullshit, have fun doing that

2. They definately didn't get my plates, because I was doing 90mph, and he would have had to duck down and swivle to see them because he was facing up slightly (the opposing roadway is elevated). Plus, PA doesn't have front plates.
3. Pictures

before I saw J/K I was like, WTF.
4. Lincoln LS V8 with the sport package. Deep Grey in color, so kind of hard to see.
5. I'll probably remember nearly soiling myself when I saw those reverse lights come on.

P.S. It wasn't like a real high speed chase, once I passed him he never saw me again. It wasn't like the movies, where he is right on my tail. I bet I was at the exit before he hit the speed I was going when I passed him.

Oh yea, the radio thing... I figured that I could jump off at the exit, and there wouldn't be any cops in the immediate vacinity of it. Because the exit leads to a 4 lane road with lots of turnoffs, and my car doesn't look vastly different from other cars (its like a wannabe sleeper).

And I figured that I would have at least some deniability from the cops. This isn't the first time a cop has seen me do 90+ on the highway. Before though, I was doing about 110 and a cop saw me. Cept, he was so far behind that I didn't see him till I stopped about 2 miles up the road. He said he was doing 100 and I was pulling away from him. He also said that I was lucky, because if I didn't stop when I did he was going to call it in as someone trying intentially trying to avoid being caught. If he wouldn't have been so slow, then we probably wouldn't have had a problem... stupid crown vics.

That reminds me of another funny story. One time, one of my sisters friends was over my house, she parked her black Nissan maxima in front of my mailbox. My mailbox is on my street, and it is dark at night (no streetlamps). And this guy in a van, doing about 65 mph hit the back of it, and caused it to flip onto my driveway (there were rocks I think it used as a ramp). I didn't see the crash, or hear it because of my air conditioner, despite the fact that it apparently sounded like an explosion. My dad ran out of the house and followed the guy back to where he lived, which was a few blocks away. The guy had a hard time making it home because of the airbag trama. This guy, obviously, was completely drunk.
Well, the cops were called and my dad told him where he lived. The cops said that after he got home he tried to report the van stolen. He was still hammered when the cops took him away. This wasn't his first DIU.

Ever heard of police having cameras in cars? :roll: [/b]

I didn't really think about that at the time, I just ran away. I still think because of the angle of his car, and the fact that he was facing the other way, it would have been hard for him to get my plates. So I am not too worried.

There were so many people getting pulled over that night. 6 that I saw, on that one highway. On the return trip I drove 55mph the whole way.
