What would you do?
Here's the situation: you're on a loooong, straight highway type road (Lake Shore Drive in downtown Chicago) but the speed limit is 45mph. You're cruising down the road at 55mph in your Mustang when you see a cop on an ATV pull out behind you and flash it's sole rotating blue light for you to pull over. There is about 10 miles+ of empty, 5 lane-wide (per side) highway ahead of you with no intersections, very little traffic, and a few exits where you could easily disappear in city traffic. What do you do?

RE: What would you do?
When I was in this situation a few days ago, I pulled over (like a pansy) and got hit with a cell phone usage ticket (using the cell while driving is illegal in Chicago). Now that I think about it though, I should have floored it, or at least continued at my current speed...those ATVs don't go past 40mph and I would've been fine. I don't think he had my plate anyway cause he was a far ways back....
oh well, more money down the drain. Damn.

You can't out run the Radio and to say you were a pansy for not running is very stupid to be honest. Don't you ever watch those worlds wildest police chases. You always lose. One way or another.
