Speed Trap?

[DDT951]

Let's not forget anything over 20+ and they arrest you, for a felony. OUCH!

Not always. I know plenty of people who have got hit 20+ over and just tickets.

Now eluding... that if they catch you they will arrest you for....

I didn't personally do it, but when I was young I know of two of my good friends that the radios couldnt catch. Both got away from police by just opening it up and running.

And yes, I have heard of tailight cutoff switches.

The entire cant outrun a radio is based upon
1. There has to be more police ahead
2. The ones chasing can maintain a visual on where their prey is until the prey can be caught by #1.

Once the prey is out of sight, the chase is pretty much over.

At one point in time, yes. However thanks to today's proliferation of cell phones. You can't sneeze in the middle of nowhere, w/out someone getting it on film.



Anytime i saw a LE in pursuit of me, i pulled over. They would ask, as they all do. Did you know you were speeding. Yes i did officer. ?????I know i was speeding, you know i was speeding, why dance around it. The majority of them would write reduced infraction tickets. Heck i actually did a few gun deals with them. But those were NoCo LE.


As a side note. I get clocked doing what ever, outside torrington wy. I was trying to go from sturgis back to my house in a 4 hr window.
Wyo Trooper ask. You know why i pulled you over? Well actually officer. I saw you turn around and pulled over, for you. Really, why have you drive more then you needed. His reply. OH I have no doubt i would have caught up to you.

Lets me go with a warning. BUT............ followed me from torrington to wycross, about 30 something miles, before turning around. 55 ! ! ! ! Put a kebosh on the 4 hrs goal.


Oddly enough when blowing past a trooper on one of the beemers, they never gave pursuit
Probably due to them being so quiet, unlike my H-D's . It never got their attention.

Harleys can go over 75mph?

Downhill, in neutral. But you have to have the stones to not use the brakes



On a serious note. I ended up keeping an attorney on retainer, just because.

Got pulled over in Bozeman Saturday night after my nephew's graduation party doing 35 in a 25 and for having a piece broken out of one of the taillights (still functioned but the cop said the bright bulb in the housing was distracting). My sister was driving so she presented her Hawaii DL while I dug the registration and insurance out of the glove box. Officer let us off with a warning -- I'm sure with college graduation and CO plates he was thinking he had a truck full of pot smokers but he didn't even get a whiff of alcohol.

I've had three tickets in my lifetime. Two on HWY 50 where I was clocked from the air, something like 13 and 18 over respectively *grumble grumble* when I was 17 or 18. And then one just a few years ago for something like 3mph over in Canon City, CO. Screw that place, lol.

On a side note, my brother got written up for a 20mph over around Rock Springs, Wyoming, while driving an oversize load. Problem is, he wasn't speeding AT ALLm even 1mph. A fat, old LEO came out from behind a billboard, wrote him up and said "You can drive down to the courthouse and pay that right now and it won't ever reach your record." Yeaaaah. He fought it, and fought it, and eventually prevailed, in part because their court system couldn't figure out how to setup f'ing zoom meetings. Of course, technology is rather difficult for the good'ol'boy club. Aint B.S. fun. You might want a dash camera if you're out of state driving up there.

Side note: I just now remembered that one of those two tickets, the officer had told me at the window that I was clocked at something like 9 over and then wrote it substantially higher when handing me the ticket.

But, balanced against all the NICE officers I've met, I've been pulled over a ton of times and never got a ticket in all those instances.

It really doesn't matter, if they put up cameras and speed traps everywhere.

If they can do it to my little piece of the road, they can do it anywhere.

You MUST go the speed limit.

Think of the tickets you got when you weren’t doing something in a different way.

They were just catching up for a couple of the times you were doing something and didn’t get caught.

Long hill?

Floyd hill, finally picking up speed around 470.

Well enough at least, to go from the right to middle lane
