He does if he gets caught. Kinda hard to report the location & direction of a person or vehicle when you don't know where he's at. This applies to radio, hand signals, morse code, & smoke billows.

I'm talking about disappearing. It's hard to disappear when you are in unfamiliar territory, which was all I was saying. Don't speed in unfamiliar territory.

I would never run from the cops, but these are some of the techniques a good friend of mine uses :

- upon visual contact, go as fast as traffic allows. Never panic. Just treat it like a track workout. Always remeber you have the fastest vehicle.
- never, never take the first street to the right. In case police lose sight of you, that's what they are trained to do : take the first exit to the right.
- my friend usually ignores the first intersection he encounters and takes a LEFT at the second intersection.
- again, he goes for WOT
- after about 2 miles he starts looking for a hideout. On some occasions this involves driving into a forest and laying the bike down. Relax. Realize that you've just ruined a pig's day :)

I never run from them either. Might dodge them IF the circumstances are right, but never run. I know when I'm beat & I'll pull right over, throw the keys on the dash & put both hands on the wheel & grin real big when they walk up. It usually helps if your affable.

the road was a 2 lane not 4.

I had a smile on my face reading this story until this part. Oh - and the DUI part. Yeah, that was smart.

Good grief.


the news paper article did not say they took the car. he was released after he posted $4500 bail, and said nothing about a passenger.

Huh - just think of all the track days $4500 would have paid for. For me, that's about 180 twenty-five minute sessions.

He just paid for monthly bonuses or new tires for the fleet.

Heck of a record to hold....I wonder if he could call Guiness Book of World Records to post the fastest speeding ticket ever issued in the state of PA. I don't see why not...might as well get something cool out of it.
