Speeding in front can be better!!

Well was cruising home last nite on the highway. I notice this green teg cruising relatively fast. I decied to cruise in front of him. The whole time I'm in front going about 80 (limit is 60). Then i noticed red and blue flashing behind the teg who is behind me so i quickly slow down and pull over to the slow lane. The cop stays behind the teg and pulls him over. Man talk about a close one! Had i been behind the teg it would be with the ticket.

Thats how I got my second speeding ticket. Me and a civic were running together across the PA turnpike, when I dropped in behind him. I look behind me and see the red and blues

ahh all the cops cept like 1 mustang in florida highway patrol and 3 camero's, besides that they are crown victorias. I know they light pattern with the inner yellow lights have a distinct pattern of dots that stand out. Taxi cabs freak me out though since most of em are crown victorias too.

In quebec canada... they only have malibu and impalas...
usually old people have one and they always have a box of kleenex near the rear window... when you see that box, you know it isn't a cop and you can pass it without worrying

My biggest ticket ever was 110 and I had a car behind me that LET the police sneak up behind him. Sheriff pulled us BOTH over.

When I told him I was doing 85, he said "liar" you were in front of us and the guy behind you "admitted" already.

all the cops in my county have crown vics, ive heard they have some other cars to catch racers but have no proof yet. just tonight i was doin only about 55 in a 40 and about a quarter mile back i can tell the headlights are a crown vic approaching so i slow down to 45. sure enough, by the time we are at the light i look next to me and its an unmarked car, cept for the metal bars over the grill and the fact its a white crown vic. unfortunatly, even tho all the cops here have almost brand new cars, they are redoing them all in black for the 100th aniversery, they are a bitch to see at night unless you can see the lights. oh and there are a million old people who drive crown vics too, but you can figure it out because they are going 10 mph.

Hmmm, I had a cop turn on his lights behind the car behind me, we both pulled over (we both were going at least 20 over), the cop went to talk to him, so I left. I never heard anything more about it. I still wonder if that's okay to do -don't see why the cops should get a two-fer-one deal unless there are multiple cruisers.
