Default 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?

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.

ok, say he radio's ahead for another cop...that's why you jump off at an exit up ahead. plus you'd slow down after a minute or so, so even if they somehowpulled you over up ahead, you'd be going the speed limit and could say it wasn't you. they can't prove anything without your plate #...

You can't outrun a radio...

Odds are he'll let you go or just give you 5 over.

Wake up and realize your car, your life, or someone elses car and life are worth a whole lot more than a cell phone or speeding ticket.
