Agreed, I for one wont technically "run" from the cops, but if your already up there past the triple digits theres really no need to slow down, and also I thought they werent supposed to chase us after 125 mph? |

I passed one recently at 220kph. Didn't slow down, and don't know if he even bothered to turn around. I parked behind the pub in the next town, and stayed for a coupla hours, and took the back roads home.

At 2-3Am on an empty interstate heading into Des Moines Iowa there are not a lot of places to slip into. Not to mention no tree cover from the eye in the sky! No driveways or back roads...just clearly marked exits. Dumb place to speed!

 Not true! Imagine that - if that was the case, everyone would just do 125+ to get away with speeding. It's up to the officer and primarily the supervisor's discretion. Also depends on the precinct's/hq's policy. |

180kph and over they won't chase you here - the cop cars are speed limited by law too  I wouldn't test that though

Don't run from the Cops if you're in Holland either............... a lot of the M'way cars are Porsche 911's & kitted out with firearms racks behind the front seats

On a vacation ride a few years back, a couple of cops pulled a group of my buddies over for speeding. They all pull over and the two cops approach the lead rider. "Bad cop" snarls "Do you know why I pulled you over?"
My buddy responds "You didn't forget, did you?"
"Good cop" laughs.
Lead rider gets warning issued. The mindless minions were told not to follow him, as he'd "get them all killed."
