Being the kids they are, they continued to speed up as they passed me(after I 60-footed the hell out of that crappy driver, and I'm in a 4x4...he was tryin, tire chirp, CAI, fart can, very audible), and guess who was lurking at the next stoplight? Good ol boys in blue. They took the civic down, I'll figure he was doing about 70-80 in a 45. The kid must not have seen the cop up ahead, but he was owned twice that night! As the kid was being pulled over, I passed at the posted speed.
Later in the night on the Interstate, I passed a WA state patrol, he was just coming off a traffic stop, flipped his strobes off, entered traffic, and gained speed to about 65, at that point I passed him on the left, gingerly. Trust me when I say, cops can see hotshot, tough guy, moron drivers a mile away. It's what they do. Be responsible, don't act like a reckless kid, and the cops are now your friend. Use common sense.Look ahead. Pay attention to the movements/actions of the vehicles well ahead of you.
i think that was a little bit uncalled for, im not saying he gets on the interstate and automatically speeds at 14omph, but when you're on the interstate, and you're the only person on the damn road, and you have a 5hr trip ahead of you, you can save a lot of time by going 14omph as opposed to 75mph, you make a 5hour trip almost 2 1/2, and i never said speeding was right, sure the best way to aviod tickets is to not speed, but face it, not everyone has that logic, thats how radar detector companies make money, becaues they know you wont just do the speed limit. im sure u know some countries dont have speed limits, they have guys flying at 16omph in huge S class mercedes's on highways such as the autobahn, i dont see you wishing for them to crash into poles and kill themselves, and they have less wrecks than we do (as far as u.s vs germany), now yes i am aware they have less people, but still, they're traveling twice as fast and effeciently, so i dont see the huge fault of going fast, as long as you do it safely, rapidly changing lanes and such to fly through traffice at over 1ooMPH when everyone else is doing 65 is just stupid, but once you're out in front, and there's no one in your way, bringing it up to 13o-14o and cruising in one lane is fine by me, as long as the driver is comfortable doing these speeds and is in a car capable of safely doing these speeds, well ive rambeled on enough, thats all i have to say, i just think what u said was way out of lineZebrahead wrote:I hope he slams into a telephone pole doing 140; one less idiot on this planet. If you want to avoid tickets, don't drive over the speed limit; period. Drive fast at the track. Laws are made to protect you and others. If you want to risk injury by driving fast, that's fine. Just think about other people.

if you see tail lights all coming on ahead then maybe you should slow down too.
