well i have to say, being new to this place, in the last week i have been called a stalker, freak, stupid, and there have to be others I have pushed back into my subconscious. NIce to have friends.. thanks guys..
..way to go man! wait till you have been around for two weeks or more..
..but seriously, nobody called you stupid - having done something stupid in our life does not put one to this category..
cheer up, I am new here too and stupid is my middle name.. (..not really, actually it's stew-peed..)
No No... I am pretty sure I called him Stupid...
JFK... I dunno why it's been your week in the bucket... I agree though you've been on the recieving end a bit much... Did you get my PM in reply?
----------------------------------------------------
I always look at the whole speeding thing this way... If I am breaking the speed limit by a good margin but not "Loosing your license" type of speeds I'll pull it on over and throw myself at the mercy of the courts...
On a couple of occasions though I have had some unfortunately timed uh... meetings with LEO's at Stupid speeds out in the sticks... Both times I saw taillights and once I saw a big ole cloud of dirt when the LEO started to cross the median as I put my head down... Both these times I pretty much did everything I could to just evaporate, and both times I was out in my turf if you will, you know out in the Country... It was a case of I'm going to go to jail and loose my license, so I may as well give it a shot. In neither case did I really "run" so much as just NOT slow down. I was operating on the "If I don't see lights, I am not running" theory.
Bottom line though, the minute I see lights behind me and there is no longer any deniability I'll be pulling it over and facing the music... No Felony evasion for this guy...
There has also been a few times out with guys where we blow by a sheriff or a trooper and they completely ignore us, so it makes you wonder just how seriously the LEO's take us sometimes... I think a lot of times if your out in the middle of nowhere, your geared up and just having fun LEO's tend to just leave you the heck alone...
I dunno, there are good cops and bad cops...
