Running From the Police

[The Deuce]

Once, in my Escort of all things. I was crusing up the freeway, had the thing darn near pegged.(past the 85 ) Went by a CHP sitting on the left shoulder, I was in the far right lane. Saw his lights come on, and I ditched down the next off ramp. Made three quick rights into a commercial complex with a parking garage. Went up a story and parked. Scariest thing I ever did, don't plan on doing it again.

I do 'ramp' on cops often though. FYI, ramping is a techniqued used out here by cops to get back behind a group of cars they want to nail. They see the cars coming hot in their mirrors, but slow down when they see the CHP. The cop will get off and right back on, thereby getting behind the cars.

Luckily I have enough cop friends to know about the technique, so I always watch the onramps for their return. I've also done it to get behind a CHP that I've blown by on the shoulder. HE HE, works both ways.
