Im with HotRoddin on this one for several reasons that I will detail.
I have worked my fair share of motor vehicle fatalities. Most of which are not from running from the law but simple fatal errors. The same errors you will make when being chased. I have see the end results of several in my city, from those who thought they could out run the law. I do chase and do not chase, just depends on the infraction. The worst part about it is when I have to tell your loved ones that you died. I also get to see the last expression on your dying face as it cools. Had one girl whose throat was ripped out. She stood in front of me, gasping, waving her arms at me, collapse, and die. I told the family she died on impact. A part of me died that day too. I curse those who put me through this. A accident is one thing. But to kill on purpose is beyond words.

i back what hotroddin & mustangII 460 are saying, it just aint worth it, especially if you kill someone who is just minding thier own & driving.

Srv1,
It was Rt 17 north coming from NYC towards Middletown around 1993. That's when I had my Calypso green Fox body. mustangII460, Hopefully the guys on this site will not run reckless. It sounds like most of them had done it a time or two when they were younger and didn't know better. It's just not responsible, and as far as I'm conernerd, If you're willing to run you're willing to die. That's what I think when I see those shows: scariest police chases.

Ok i looked back at some of the replies (incl my own) and it almost looks like we're advocating running.I was just asking to see if people looked in their mirrors and said (like i did) i can outrun him. i think the people who run are asking for more than their share of trouble in the long run . It was a repair citation that i'm challenging. tint too dark(he used his naked eye) and i'm 1% over legal i got the state police to check it the day it was installed.

MD law says 35% all I'm at 36% all around he just looked and said they were too dark. he would have been better off giving me a ticket for my illegal exhaust.

I thought about running once from a camero cop getting on I-10 off of 610, but, I thought about the consequences of running and then of killing me or someone olse, and took the ticket. I don't think I would ever run, I just wasn't brought up that way. I was brought up to face the music. Besides, if you get caught running from the police in TX, they'll probably fry you in the chair, they seem to like doing that around here. Texas, the capitol for capitol punishment!!!!

Twice
Both times I saw them turning around in the median with their lights on.
First time was in the stang and saw him turn around and got off the next exit and went through a ton of back roads. never really even had to speed. Second time was on the ninja, I just opened it up, there was never even a chance obviously.

I don't run to the point you see on TV where the guys are doing 120mph with other cars all around them and 10 cops behind them with a chopper. But if I'm on an open stretch of road and the cop loses sight of me, I'm gone. I hate paying tickets. It's all a big government scam to rob us of our hard earned money. I've never been involved in an accident when I was driving the car, and have helped others avoid accidents by being in the passenger seat. And I've had at leat 30 traffic tickets in my day so it's not like I don't drive fast everywhere I go, and still haven't had a wreck. And it hasn't bee just luck. There has been plenty of times I could have been involved in some serious wrecks had I not been aware of my surroundings.
All this bulls!!t about people driving fast being murderers is just that. BULLS!!T. It's IDIOTS that drive fast that are murdering people. I think if you have driven for 10 or more years without an accident you should be able to drive any way you f'n want.

I wouldn't make it some big drawn out chase like on TV.
I would how ever, duck down a side road, or take a quick exit if I though I would lose him.

I had just passed 6 cars. Then went into a long sweeping turn and met the fuzz. No shoulder, dark-30, I was going 80. I grabbed 4th and nailed it. Turned the lights out. Just a little piece down I took a right, 100 yards further another right, into a subdivision. 1st house with no cars, I pulled in and watched him pass on the main road do-en a hundred as he passed. I was so scared, I made me think about a lot of stuff.
Me and Corey were on the road going to Morgan City. 80-100mph we met a state boy. He turned around I was ten feet off Coreys rear end. He passed me, stopped Corey, then flagged me in. Corey got a speeding ticket, I got an expired inspection ticket. Go figure that one? I have been pulled over with a group of cars, and watched the as5 hole let every one go but me. The same tropper wrote up a guy with a brand new set of ET streets for illegal tires.

Oh man, I forgot all about the time I wasted the fuzz in my wife's Neon. I was doing 50 in a 30 and the cop was going the opposit direction. He went to spin around on me and I floored it. Took the next left, turned off the lights, used the parking brake to whip into and alley and parked right behind a pizza joint. I ducked down in the car and laughed as the cop flew by stopping at the next intersection and flashing his spot light around everywhere. I hopped out of the car and walked down the road toward him so I could see what he was doing and it was all I could do to keep from falling on the ground laughing at him.

I shouldn't tell this. In 1975, route 3 in Virgnia East of King George county. Back then the highway patrol would use these little radar "cameras" mounted on skinny tripods some distance from the car and you'd never see the car till it was too late. I'm not even sure it was legal but they did it. The area has lossa trees and just before a clearing, a really big clearing the guy riding with me screams something about radar. I saw the radar gun just before a road that ran perpendicular to the highway and when we passed the road, there was this big ole State cop sittin far enough back that you wouldn't notice him if you wasn't lookin. I was lookin. Seein as how I was already goin about 80, the road was a rollercoaster of short hills and I had already been pulled over once in that state (with 7 tickets to show for it) I decided to see how quickly he couldn't catch up. TH
his whole area is dotted with sideroads and trees are so thick you gotta cut three down to put in an outhouse. As soon as we came to a dirt road I ducked in and eased off into the jungle where there was little light and fewer cops. The whole episode lasted about a minute and a half. FYI. . .in Virginia, and I figure it's still the same now, you cannot alter a car in any way from the factory stock version. I even got nailed for having dual exhaust. When I tried to tell the guy I was only station here for a short while and it was legal in Texas, where the car was registered all he said was "Well. . .this is King George county son"
