He waived at me to slow down and that was it. I think the limit is 60 with a trailer.

LOl that happened to us in Oakland. We were coming back from trailing John91coupe's car to Sac. I think my dad was doing 75 in the lane one over from the fastlane and a bike cop came up knocked on my dad's window and pointed to move over a lane and then he floored it and took off

Freaky...strange that he knocked on the window while driving. He's lucky your Dad didn't freak out and swerve into him.

---

LOL we saw him behind us. We're always looking for cops when we're trailering

Wow, its an 100k car too bad it doesn't have those little blinking lights my $5k ranger has....

They found cutting people off, no turn signal, multiple lane changes are the number 1 aggrivator for road rage.

As far as pulling to the side of the freeeway or a ramp, if you can get off the freeway and out of sight of traffic that is what CHP like. They are paid to keep the freeways open at ALL times, and having cars parked barely off the shoulder angers them. The other thing that pisses them off (I've witnessed this from the FRONT seat of a CHP car) is when you blow by at 90-100, they do 100-110 to catch up to you, you panic and stomp the brake pedal. You're busted, why slam on the brakes now? They have to try to slow 2 tons of lead sled down now to try not to crush you, then you make an illeagal lane change or 3, then park where they have to walk in traffic to speak with you, then you cop an attitude an try to lie your way out of it....

Let me know how that works out for ya.

Tips to avoid a ticket: rather than slamming on the brakes when you finally realize there is a cpo in you rearview, gently lift off the gas, put your right hand up and wave that you see them (Sounds stupid but works and lets them know you are aware of them - cops do this to each other all the time) signal and get off the road safely/completely. Do every thing you can to be couteous and polite at this point. Call the officer sir/mam (or by rank if you know it ie: seargent), don't try to lie, don't make excuses, have all your paperwork (registration, license, insurance ready AND CURRENT!!!!) Flat out tell the officer hey, I'm sorry I was driving a little fast any way you would allow me a warning?

Cops aren't real concerned with speed so much as unsafe speed. If you look like you can drive safely, they really won't hassle you too much. If you are on the phone, making eratic movements, tailgating, etc. You're screwed. If you get a cop on a bad day, take the ticket be polite and fight it later. Everything you do and say is recorded now days and will be used later on if you do fight it. Don't give them any reasons.

Oh, to guarantee you get a ticket, pull to the mall (the center median of the freeway) when you are stopped. CVC specifically say you will yield and pull to the right. Cops love that Shit!

but if you say that everything is being recorded nowadays,, wouldnt you be incriminating yourself in a trial later on if you say,, "hey" i know i was speeding, can you just give me a warning?" i dont think cops have actually recording devices on themm, just mounted on their police cars... so they don't record your conversation,, because besides, i m pretty sure its unconsitutional to record a stop without first the officer tellin you your rights.

---

Most R/o's keep recording devices on them to protect themselves from bullshit complaints not to burn people in court. Their court testimony or recorded video evidence of the violation will usually burn people in court. An Ofc that pulls you over for a traffic INFRACTION can record you. You are not in custody so miranda is not applicable.That of course changes if you get arrested and incriminating statements could be made then you would need your miranda admonishment so that your rights are protected. But what do I know... I just drive mustangs.

Rossetti... you must live in.... Fremont?

---

I think he is known world wide by now LOL but yes..fremont.

Here one for you Rossetti

Oh there is a white Camero CHP here in Fremont. Very hard to see this guy. I usually see him posted between the 880 Fremont Blvd. Exit and the 880 Thorton exit. He'll get me some day, only a matter of time. Being that low to the ground with the low prifile lights and being a white car makes him blend in too good. See him posted at the Starbucks off Mowery all the time too,...only not in his car but sippin coffee with some other cop buddies.

I think the exit thing is a myth unless they light you up RIGHT at the exit. Otherwise they think your up to something...buying time or some shit.
