If you were a cop... would you street race?

A tick over 13.0 sec. and you're through the quarter-mile. It's a rush, of course, but not overly dramatic. Try the same thing with this pair's predecessors of 1970 or so and you'll find yourself in a bit of a wrestling match. Ain't progress wonderful? Maybe yes, and maybe sometimes it's fun to wrestle."

Ah the racing law:
If you are going 50 km/h (31 mph) over the limit then you are racing.

I wonder who the 'Benedict' is that cought her.
I got my wifes car up to 140 mph but only once, and my Trooper freind took a turn after me. The sretch of road is away from everything and wide open. Very little traffic. SL posted is 70. Just wanted to see what it would do one time. Had I got caught, I would have accepted my penalty but I got lucky. But I would never do it if there were ANY other cars around, even coming from the opposite direction. We had a couple miles of sight and no traffic. With my SS when I get it I'll do the same but on the track in Irvington. |

regular traffic flow is usually around 120 km/h. but i've been on there when the "flow" of traffic is 140+. I've never been on a 400 series highway and not had someone blow by me at 150+. Not sure the details of this story, but i'm glad they arent getting any breaks. I know i wouldnt get one. |

Now that's embarrasing!!! I only drive like an idiot when I'm by myself and no one is around.

I was racing a mustang on hwy 16 like 20 years ago in my 78 Camaro and got pulled over by Tx DPS in a Mustang black & white. He said "you know why I pulled U ova boya?"
I said nope.. "Cause U where winnin" he said with a country twang and a laugh. Then he proceded to give me a speeding ticket... |

That law makes no sense. 31mph over and you're racing? That's dumb. That's like the "if you take of and your tires chirp you were testing the endurance" of your car law. Who the F**K are they to tell me what my intent was?!? Are they in my brain do they know why i do anything i do?
I've never been pulled over for anything like that, but that effing stupid. |

Well I know law enforcement and usually they take care of each other. I'm fortunate to know most of the county and state guys here. I've never been pulled over by one I didn't know. But I can honestly say I don't give them any reason to regret leaving me alone.

Yes, but only if you can't spot one of the 5 places the cops have to hide behind. Saskatchewan is one of the few places where then can spot you on radar and they still have time to finish their coffee.
