3. Have you ever "run", and the outcome?
Personally,
1. 81 in a 65MPH zone...August '04
2. Never
3. Waaay back in the late '60s, when the "lights" came on, I quickly ducked down a side street, ditched my passenger, and did a cut and run through every alley and narrow street I came upon in downtown Cincinnati. Got away! :o I'm sure if I tried that now, my heart rate would get so high that I have a heart attack before the news cameras could have me on the 11 o'clock news. :laugh:

1. I have had four or five, I dont remember the details but they were all for speeding
2. My only bike citation was for doing 86 mph in a 60 but the officer lowered it to 70 in a 60.
3. Yes three times when I was younger. I got away every time, but I wouldn't try it now.
Mak,
Porsche owner here too. Like yourself, when it comes to law enforcement, my perspective changed as I grew older.
hey mak how old are you btw? sometimes i get the impression you are my age(ish), 21. sometimes i think ur older. but i know ur gf is young..
1. 1+ years for doing 80 in a 55.
2. last fall doing 75 in a 45 (dumb i know butu at least i knew the roads and they were straight and open with no cars)
3. never ran from the lights but i've ditched the cops a few times in my car after i know they saw me do something but before they could get their lights on.
I'm 24 I think...maybe 25...Kalee is 19...I think...maybe 20...shaZam!...
lol better get on that. now i remember seeing a few photos of u on pac.net awhile ago. u look young for ur age.
1. '04 Jeep Cherokee - sometime in Dec of 05. Coasting 30 in a 15 around the drill field helping someone move when i really wanted to go home to my lovly GF. took the course and have been clean since.
2. Warning. 32 in a 25 on my way to work at my previous position sometime in Sept of 05
3. when i was 14 I "borrowed" my dads friends Stingray (324). I was in the "country" and I( saw a cop in the median and when i passed his brake lights came on. I ducked off on a side road that i knew very well and parked behind the firehouse on that road. The cop then drove by with his lights on. I assume that he was coming for me but i never really will know.
1. 70 in a 60. Was I happy with it? Yes, I was doing 80 out of the esses 15 seconds earlier.
2. Last week I got my first bike ticket cost me $30. Illegal parking at the TAMU library. I hope this doesn't get me excommunicated.
3. Never ran, have done the traffic tuck.

To clarify the situations were like weaselnoze and natedawg120. Just ditched the cops after I saw them start to come after me.
1. 2003 for doing 70 on a 65mph road :laugh:
2. no citations/tickets yet
3. i haven't. I don't see a reason to do it.
Only one auto citation, 52 in a 35. I usually speed 10 over and cops have never gotten on me about it.
Never had a bike ticket. Coming back from Michigan last summer I was bout 40 miles outside Mobile and exhausted! So I was running wide open laying on the tank, I was in the left lane and saw a cop in the median. I didnt even wait for him to pull out, I immediatly pulled over. Ofcourse he came after me, bout 50feet. :laugh: He gave me the what do you think your doing!?!? I think he got how much I just wanted to be home, I was so deaf from not wearing plugs ever time he asked a question and a truck flew by I'd say, wait what? I'm sorry what? I couldnt hear you? He said since he didnt have to chase me I could go. I didnt kno if he actually clocked me or not or was just glad I actually pulled over, I was doing an indicated 110 or so. Def. stupid wouldnt do again.
Never ran, but have done a pre empted emergency U turn on to a side street to cover my butt.
-ash
1. doing about 75 in a 55 (on a country road, no less :cookoo:) about...uhhhhh....15 years ago :laugh:
2. no moto tickets
3. my hotrod honda and/or stock SVS aren't gonna outrun any cop :laugh:
1. Last auto citation, and for what?
Lets see... I've only gotten 2 citations ever (been on the road for 6 years). Both were in the same month two years ago. The first was for screeching my tires ($50). The second was for having (and using) blue police lights. He was so ticked, he gave me a $500 ticket for a combination of speeding (72 in 55), bald tire, and blue light usage. Took lights away from me. I also had to take a $90 saturday course to keep my license.

hey mak, what kinda porsche may i ask? :thumb:
1986 944...only burgundy car I've ever liked.
Cars = one. 1983, exhibition of speed. 15 in a 25 zone. Was doing a power slide around a corner. Never paid, not my license either.
Motorcycle = one. 55 in 35. fought it and got it down to 45. The bad part, I was being passed at the time. go figure. Oh .... last year.
I have never run from the cops.
1. One an only ticket, well it was supposed to be reckless driving, I was racing at what was then the local illegal dragstrip. Cops came after us once we started, I saw the lights...ohh wait that will be saved for question 3.
2. No moto tickets yet
3. Saw the lights, figured screw it, I am doing like 80-90MPH in a 30 so I kept it to the floor. I thought I made it away, untill a few miles down the road a cop pulls out of nower and says that they were looking for me. I explain that yes I was racing but I ...umm...never saw the lights. He says something along the line of "well do you see them now", so yeah, goto court, being only 16, juvinelle court, cop did not put a description on ticket, so I made up some bullshit story to tell the judge and the judge lets me off with an inattentive driving ticket and a $30 fine. My mom was there and new the true story, I think she about shaZam! her pants when I straight up lied to the judge, I think she is still mad at me about that like 5 years later.
I owe my mom one

ill be damned had one same color, also a 924 of similar color but older :thumb:
1. 3 speeding tickets, all within 1st year I got my license, since then I have smartened up and have a clean record.
2. No tickets for the bike, it's fun at all speeds I don't want to hurry anywhere to get off it.
3. I would never think to outrun the cops, the risk/reward doesn't seem worth it, and even if I got away I'd be paranoid they'd still find me.
1. My last ticket was maybe 8 months ago. He clocked me at 48 in a 30, gave me 5 over with a happy little I (Impeding). I didn't even have to go to court. Just paid the 105 dollar fine and went on my merry way. The only points that I have are from a 15 over ticket on the Ohio Turnpike, I even went down to Bowling Green to fight it and nothing. Ohio sucks to me now, period. Damn cops.
2. No motto tix
3. Hahaha, I've never done it but I was my ex's car when he decided to run. I told him that if he didn't pull his happy ass over right then and there, I was gonna call the cops and tell them where he lived and where we were. He didn't. So I did. I'm not going to get hurt or killed because he doesn't want a ticket...*yep I was a baaaaaaaaaad girlfriend...hahahahaha :icon_twisted:*
1. Speeding got clocked at 105 in a 75
2. none
3. none but they did try to cite me for evading because of my speed in 1 above.
1. Got a ticket for 76 in a 55 coming over the Bay Bridge in 2001. I thought the limit was 65, but that section of the road didn't start for another few miles (there were other people driving faster than I was, too. Not sure why the cop singled me out :dunno_white:). Went to court and got the fine reduced to $75 and no points.
2. Haven't had much of a chance yet...I've only ridden last weekend. I don't see myself getting any anyway.
3. Nope, not worth it.
1. 80 in a 65. Three days ago. Grrr. (I had been good for a long time too!)
2. None so far.
3. I ran once, but it can barely be considered running. It was night, and I was just about done with a set of blind corners and the officer was going in. I came out, parked about 50 yards off, and shut off my lights. He had to go the whole way through before he could turn safely. I don't even think it was a conscious decision, I did it so quick.
!. Last auto citation, and for what? "failure to obey a highway sign...last year sometime"
2. Last bike citation, and why? "just got my bike last month...nothing yet"
3. Have you ever "run", and the outcome? "ran one time, soon as i saw lights i ducked down a side street and made a circle back to the main road."
1. Speeding ticket... 37 in a 25... Oh wait... No... I got one since then... 85 in a 50 (but, in my defense the speed limit just changed from 70 to 50 and I just passed 4 cars... Plus the cop didn't catch me doing 110 on the wrong side of the road. :o )
2. Never been pulled over on a bike.
3. I have run... But, on foot when I was 15... I got away twice out of five or so tries. :thumb:
OK... If "ditching" counts as running... :oops: I can't even count how many times I've ditched a cop and not been caught or ticketed. One time a cop caught up to me after I was out of the car... He jumped out of his car and asked for my papers... I looked at my locked car and said they were inside... He said, "Well, I just wanted to make sure you weren't hitting the sauce." :laugh: It was like 4:30 pm... I had just come from the gym so I said, "Nope! Just hitting the iron." and made a bench-pressing motion... :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: He got in his car and drove away.
Then... If you want to count getting pulled over without getting a ticket... Well, we'll be here for weeks. :nono:

1a) parking tickets, lots of them.
1b) running red light, actually was caught on yellow light triggered camera.-traffic school.
2) speeding, 71 in a 50 (on a stretch of road I usually do 120 on!), fought it but lost. traffic school.
3) its not considered running if they dont light you up.

1. "Speed racing", but I call it drifting. I got off the ticket because I was under 18 or 18 or something and I got the option to take a class.
2. None.
3. Nope.
!. Last auto citation, and for what?
seatbelt ticket $25 fine, was racing and was the first to pull over, the cop had the lights going for about a mile and i had the slowest car so i was like f%$k it, i'm screwed already. the other two guys i was with got spiked and both cars got impounded.
2. Last bike citation, and why? some time in 03
RD / impropper equipment. late 04 doing a Jesus stand on the gs at midnight with open pipes, passed the breathalizer the second time.
3. Have you ever "run", and the outcome? once you cross state lines, it didn't happen.
1. Last one was 72 in a 55 in my 97 Mustang. A minivan had just blown by me, but my car looked faster. It had racing stripes, but the V6 was pitiful. Didn't get another ticket for a year, so no points.
Before that, I got an unsafe start ticked for spinning my camaro's (V8) tires in a GRAVEL lot as I pulled out. It wasn't dramatic, just your normal insufficient traction type thing. As a matter of fact, the cop was on foot, and walked out in front of me to stop me. I was going maybe 15. Jerk.
A few weeks later, I got a warning for the same thing. I had just put a new 650 Holley Carb on, and I was test driving. I started from a light, then floored it to see if the secondaries were dialed in. Boom...on come lights. I told the cop what was up, and he advised me to go to a parking lot to test it out. Nice guy.
2. None
3. Blew by a plain wrapper going the same direction as me. I was in the right lane and he was in the left. I saw him just as I was flying by him on the right. I immediatley slammed on the brakes and hit a side road exiting the highway. He hadn't flipped on the lights yet, but as I turned off, he was hitting his brakes. I doubled back in a hurry. I turned right on another road just in time to see his headlights rounding the bend about 3/4 a mile back. I got back to the highway, and resumed my journey more slowly. I wouldn't do that again. I guess it technically wasn't 'running', but it still had my heart racing. :nono:
1. Back in October I got a ticket for going 84 in a 70 as well as being in the left lane when I wasn't supposed to be (for passing only, apparently. Total BS! I was speeding! I was passing people a mile ahead of me! It isn't like people were passing me on the left... I was speeding!). I was just driving down the interstate trying to get back home from cornerworking at a race track up in Dallas. Pulled over immediately, but the cop was still a duck to me. I've gotten 2 warnings now, one was for going 70 in a 70 (yeah, I got a warning for going the speed limit), which would have been a ticket had I not asked to see the gun he supposedly clocked me with. Got another warning for going 40 in a 30 in a State Park 2 days ago. Cop was cool enough to give me a warning rather than a ticket because I told him I had to reach into the glove box to get my insurance information. He told me had I just reached in and grabbed it he probably would have given me a ticket, but since I was not being an idiot he was kind enough to let me off.
2. Parking ticket on campus, $25. Last semester some time.
3. Never ran nor ducked away from the cops. It isn't worth it to run.
1. Seatbelt violation-$17 :icon_rolleyes:
2. None, just warned a million times :laugh:
3. On a GS?!?!?!!?!?!? f%$k no, cop cars can catch a GS ultimately :cookoo:
What is the deal with all the old threads popping up? Not that it's bad...
1. Racing my lowered '75 Chevy 1/2 ton (slightly built 454, .060 over, decent intake/exhaust setup on it. 63 in a 35. Had 3 people in the truck, nobody with seatbelts on. Finally figured out that driving on the streets like that is not such a good idea. Paid the ticket, stopped driving like that.
2. 4 warnings, no tickets.
3. Yes, with and without lights on.
Eh......OK.....
1) one week after getting car licence did 40 in 30 mph zone got ~60$ ticket
2)never got anything
3) Run from MP in army service , was driving a soft top truck , was wearing army type helmet which feels like a ton on your head
after couple of hours , was very hot , was going about 60mph in a 60 zone , MP with a radar signaled me to stop as my truck was allowed only 40mph on
the highway , I didn't "notice" him , changed to left lane and was going 75mph (the fastest it could go) , thought they weren't allowed to give chase , but they did , only ended up with a speeding ticket . That was fun :cookoo:
1) 4-5 years ago I got a 82 in a 70 (car). Total car tickets is prolly close to 20 or so. This in 20 years of driving. Mostly speeding. Never unsafe, just enough to cause notice.
2) riding (moving actually) from MS to FL (700 miles) I got a warning for no tag. the LEO was nice enough, understood I'd be careful as my wife was following and 8 months pregnant.
3) Never on the bike. When I was young I dropped the roll-down doors on carwashes several times. Oh, and those lazy "Y" turn offs on country roads are good for a slip.
I always got away, and will not run again. I have never sidestepped the cops on the bike. Paying attention to the rear instead of the front on a bike is not smart. ;)
!. Last auto citation, and for what?
1995. DUI, $4,000 in attorney fees plus court costs reduced charge to reckless driving.
2. Last bike citation, and why?
Last fall. Operation in a manner not safe and reasonable. Roll on power wheelie and hanging off the bike :icon_rolleyes: Warned about that one.
Passing in a no passing zone. Warned about this one as well.
Speeding in excess of 25mph above the posted limit. Ticket was written for 9mph above the posted limit. Paid it without batting an eye said the appropriate thank you's.
All in all a pretty cool trooper
3. Have you ever "run", and the outcome?
All the time when I lived in the desert. I would just head off the road when I saw lights in the rear view. Worked really well.
Only a couple of times on a bike lost them both times.

1. 2 For speeding, one was doing 105 in a 25 zone and the second was doing 80 in a 40 zone. 2 for not using a seatbelt 1 for having black headlight covers and blue neons flashing inside the car and 1 for not having a front license plate... oh yeah 1 for having tinted windows on the driver and passenger windows.
2. nothing yet
3.Im too chicken S&it.
1. Last auto citation, and for what?
2000 -- running a stop sign. Or so the cop claimed. I had actually stopped, then pulled forward, then stopped again (I was driving an 83 Lincoln Continental with a looooong hood). This was a small college town in Pennsyltucky that enjoyed harassing out-of-staters.
2. Last bike citation, and why?
2004 -- "unsafe driving." Lane splitting. Should have watched for cops more carefully.
3. Have you ever "run", and the outcome?
I was doing 75 in a 55. Cop lit up quite a bit behind me, but then I went over a hill. I decided it would be a good idea to take the next exit and stop at a diner that I frequently go to anyway. Lunch was good. Yum. I have no idea if the cop was actually chasing me, but I'm glad I didn't find out...
-b.
1. 1996 - failure to comply with a road sign - $35 fine
2. Haven't been cited since I started riding 4 years ago.
3. Have never (and will never) run. I don't tend to give anyone much reason to chase me anyway. I ride like a sissy. 8)

In 7 years I've never been cited, and only pulled over once. That was in a friend's SUV with tinted windows, out of state plates, a recently renewed registration, me with an out-of-state license, going 80 in a 55 through Maryland. I think the cop didn't want to fill out the paperwork and so let me off without even a warning. I speed all the time, I just try not to be the fastest on the road and it seems to work out for me.
had an issue with a bumpersticker. but hey, its removal got me out of a reckless driving charge. , so i rremoved it. ( went back next day bought anotherone to replace it)
1. still that damn $17 seatbelt ticket
2. still no citations on two wheels :cookoo:
3. I don't know if it counts, but I went riding with a group of guys and we ripped past a GSP speed trap on I95 at about 140. f%$k knows if they tried to chase us we were less than a mile out from SC.

When I was younger...no point in running if you can't get away. My ideals have changed rather drastically in the last several years. Not only would I not run now, I'd assist in stopping whoever does.
rofl mak i remeber that post. will see if i can find it. and post it. now my turn
last auto sept15 07 speeding, paid fine. i was guilty as hell
last ( and only bike cite) was a warning in 04 right before i sold my gs, was clocked doin 90+ ( in a 55) i shot the shaZam! with the cop for a while, and got a warning. ( most leos in town are riders as well) and basically said if you MUST ride that fast, do it carefully
and no ive never run from the cops, i cannot outrun a radio
no i stand corrected, a winter storm a few years back, a cop was tryin to tell me to slow down, i made it up a hilly road inmy frontier, he couldnt. i circled around, and came up behind him, and asked him " were you looking for me?" hes like f%$king smart ass, slow down and laughed no warning either. now they keep asking me if i want a job lol
1. 80-something in a 65, in Ohio, which luckily is a non-coop state with PA...no points on my license!
2. Never...I'm probably a more cautious rider than most cops, unless I'm trying to follow someone.
3. If I were a cop, I'd record the license plate # before I even turned on the lights. In fact, I'm pretty sure dash cams make this automatic. So, running from cops is an almost guaranteed jail term or MASSIVE fine. I'd never try. I do have a good story about getting pulled over as a designated driver with a carful of drunks...
1. Never
2. Never
3. Never
However lol, i did have a shaZam! scary incident where i was riding into my local town doing about 85 on the windy roads, its quite a convoluted way navigating the countryside so lots turning left then right and roundabouts and such and at one junction i picked up a black BMW behind me who stuck with me even when i was doing 85 i thought it was quite odd for a car to be trying to keep up, usually they try and overtake if they want a race (that never works lol) but anywhos we get onto the last main road into town and im cruising about 85 him sitting behind me, then suddenly the fooker turns on his blues and twos! Unmarked car, i almost shaZam! myself my worst nightmare and had been wondering if he was for a while, thankfully he overtook me and blasted off into town (obviously he was called to something else) i have no doubt tho that he woulda pulled me if he hadn't had to go somewhere else. Now im constantly looking as much into cars as possible, check for lights behind the grills and stuff to make sure im not about to blast past an unmarked or get followed by one.
I've actually thought of an occasion where i "evaded" a cop due to them been a pest and following me to make sure i was sticking to the limits. He litrally had nothing better to do than follow me in his marked 4x4. We got to this road that is really windy, runs round some hills, then opens up onto a long streight, 60mph limit. I went onto there with him following me, hit the first turn and then the second, he was out of sight now even though relativly close behind me, i nailed it through all the turns and down the streight. By the time he came out of the turns and onto the streight i was at the end going around the corner lol. Must looked so funny, he went in like a car length behind me, came out half a mile away haha. It did occur to me he would pull me over and try and warn me because i must have been speeding to get away from him like that. I just hate cops who have nothing better to do than that.
1. Four years ago I received a ticket for expired registration
2. Last summer I received a ticket for "illegal passing"
3. Yes, not too long ago. This has been the only time I have ever ran.. and I got away..
My buddy and I were going out for a ride on a sunday evening and we started gettin a little squidly. WHEELIES. and lots of em. He had just dropped one tooth off his front sprocket on his R1 and discovered he was capable bringing the front wheel up with roll-ons in second gear at 80mph. YIKES. I brought one up at about 30mph and kept it high for 5-6 seconds, with him one lane over doing the same, except moving a little faster(his 1st gear is wayyy taller). Just as I was bringing mine down I saw the LEO flip on his cherries n berries, but he was on the other side of the median, going the other way and slowing down. My buddy and I know the area well(btw there weren't many cars on the road this sunday evening) so we took off. We took a few turns, jumped on the highway, we saw high triple digits, we exited and took the long way home.
We were wearing our leathers, but even so, the whole situation was scary enough to make me never want to do it again..
