Default Re: Have you ever tried to outrun the cops?

3 times. Once was at about 2am on the highway. I was crusing at about 120 and saw a cop on the left side of the road. I moved into the far left lane so that there was no way he could pull onto the highway until I was at least past him and just hit the gas. I was going 140 by the time I passed him. He started to pull out but then decided to not even try. I kept going to 160 and pulled off 2 exits ahead, never saw anyone else.

The next time I passed a cop on the other side of the median. I watched him make U-turn in my rear view mirror but at that point I was at least 1/4 mile ahead and I was in an area I knew well with a lot of possible turns. So I just took off.

The third time was just a few days ago. I passed a car at night sitting on a road to the right who started driving towards my road when I went by. I was about 80% sure it was a cop trying to pull me over. Normally I just pull to the side right away in those situations, but there was a huge line of cars coming up on the other side of the road and I had just enough time to make a U-turn and get ahead of them. The cop flashed me as I passed him again but there wasn't much he could do at that point.

I pull over way more than I try to outrun the cops, and I'd never consider getting into a high speed chase, but if I see an opportunity to disappear, and the cop hasn't even signalled for me to pull over yet, and I'm reasonably sure that even if he does catch up and turns on his lights I can pull over and act like I didn't know he was chasing me, I'll make an effort to get away.
