They do that to in Trinidad and the rest of the Islands. Its just here in North America were some drivers do not car about anybody else on the road. etc. have you ever try to come out of a side street or get into a drive way and the light is red, but they will not let you in or out of the driveway.

I’m not able to turn off my headlights at night. My car only has AUTO and ON, no OFF position. It’s never really bothered me before, but my friend pointed out that it can be a bitch if you’re engaging in a friendly contest of speed with another vehicle at night 😃

Interesting I didnt know that. I’d do it to to get the trend going but I would think that shortens the life of HIDs. So screw it, glare it is.

I was actually on my bike once. and I was doing well over 200 and a fellow biker in the opposite direction actually waved his arm in a slow it down motion. so I slowed down… and actually over the next hill there was a cop with his radar out… Im sure if i was doing 220+ ish that by the time he got his arm in the window and put in gear to go, I would be long gone.
This was all on my CBR600RR But it was also Out on country roads with very little traffic and no people.

The cop wouldn’t bother chasing you. It’d be too dangerous.

Actually lots of places have protocols implemented that they aren’t allowed to chase bikes because it’s too dangerous, and it just puts the rider and others at risk. They just call ahead and try and snag you with another car down the road if they can.
“Cop cars are factory tuned, if you go over 190, they won’t chase you”

have you tried lifting the e-brake _1_ click?
it should turn off the lights of the vehicle…
I used it all the time for when I dont want to shut off the car, but I want the lights off while I waiting out side of someone’s house
works like a charm in practically any 2000+ vehicle.
* * *
and for all this police chase talk
police arent supposed too, but WILL chase you if:
your in a community safety zone going double the limit ( BY LAW THEY CANT CHASE YOU , BUT THEY WILL, and when they give you your ticket, it will be a lot less speed then you were going, youll be suprised because he didnt screw you… but the reason he didnt screw you is because they arent allowed to chase cars going 120 threw a 50 zone, its endangers the public.
another one is a school zone, going double the limit in a school zone, they arent supposed to chase you , but they will…
and the best way to think of it is.
one time we were out on a road trip (before this 150 street racing bulshit)
we went by a cop going 170+
the cop tried to put his h and out the window for us to stop…
a couple of guys in the car were debaiting to keep going, but I said the chances of him using his radio is greater than him chasing us…
sure enough we pulled over, got a ticket… then 2 km down the road an o.p.p station… lol

I’ve seen a few that don’t do that. But yeah, most do.

Or you could just drive like a human and avoid the whole high-speed chase thing. Ask Sasha how that works out.
