Ever think of running from the police?
 

I got my first ticket in my FR-S today. It was completely my fault, going 72 in a 55. I briefly thought about gunning it as I saw him putting away his laser gun but common sense prevailed and I pulled over to the right lane as he came up fast. He wrote me up for speeding but didn't give me any additional fines for no front license plate or that my insurance card had expired a week ago. After handing me the ticket, he started asking me questions about the car - fuel efficiency, horse power, etc. and was pretty nice about it.

I was wondering though, besides the guy who totaled his FR-S running from the police around May, have any of you ran away successfully? If you ran and got caught, what happened then?

I apologize in advance if this post in inappropriate.

EDIT: I changed it from "outrunning" to "running from" in the title because it's obvious that we're not gonna outrun the police

I sometimes have daydreams about maybe pushing a button to blow up cars of people that can't drive, or perhaps my driver would open the sunroof so I could light them up with the mounted machine gun. I would pretend I had my own country and I was a total asshole and could do crap like that.

I would never do that in real life though.























I don't have my own country :(
But yeah, don't do that. Keep them as daydreams/fantasy

Well, I think about it all the time. I also think about running over pedestrians and cyclists, driving the wrong way on the highway, doing a Rendezvous-style run at dawn through San Francisco, and driving off every bridge/overpass I come across.

But, I have never, and will never, do any of those things; the risk and gain would never be worth the reward. That's what Grand Theft Auto is for :thumbup: :party0030:

Can your car exceed the speed of his radio?

out run the police in a 4 cylinder? Maybe out maneuver with the FRS, but 200 hp won't cut it for out running a cruiser!

i've ran from police when I still had my DC2 Integra. And got away. Wasn't on an empty straight road though. This however was several years ago and I wouldn't do that now.

Exactly. These thoughts are normal in most people. They are called Intrusive Thoughts, and the vast majority of the population either doesn't have them or are able to dismiss them as being completely crazy and ignore them

Everyday

hey, you learn something new every day! Thanks for that tidbit :clap:

The first time I was pulled over I hadn't realized I was being tailed by the cops, downshift rev matched 2 gears and he turned on his lights. When he was writing me a ticket for speeding he said he thought I was trying to get away - though completely the opposite as I had slowed down through a construction zone after he caught me on radar and I had no idea he was there!

not at all, but I was coming to an interchange around a blind bend with several off and on ramps and a bit of traffic for "cover"

I was once ACCUSED of trying to run in my 71 Porsche 914....

YEAH RIGHT! a 86hp 4-cyl VW engine outrunning a Highway Patrol cruiser....

I daydream more about empty roads, like blasting the length of a couple freeways without lifting doing a 100+ mile trip in less than an hour, drifting through a couple clovers, apexing through downtown, dropping the front wheel at the apex of a hairpin mountain road etc.

in NY, some of the NYPD roll around in Prius. In crowded/heavy traffic city streets like Chinatown or Flushing, you can outrun them on foot
