Will he follow? Its going to be like 30 seconds before he MATCHES my speed, and ATLEAST another minute before he can catch up. Hmmmm

chances are he’s going to go after you  
my story: I was bored on the thruway so I dropped it down and accelerated. Just a little bit after a turnaround, a cop was headed in the opposite direction that I was. I was at 92 when I saw him so I slammed on the brakes until he was about next to me then I let off the brakes and downshifted to slow down. I slowed down to about 65… then about 2-3 min up the road he caught up to me. and wrote me a ticket for 92 in a 55

I think he still would’ve came after me if I kept accelerating, because he then could’ve wrote me a ticket for more… and I like my license and wouldnt want to find out

there were no exits… just an on ramp, and i didnt feel like throwing it in reverse and going down the on ramp. this was on the 400s going over the bridge in EA

i don’t think the whole brake kill switch is a good idea. especially if your the only one on the road and he sees you slow down from like 65 to 35 without any brake lights comeing on

having a kill all is a good idea… having brakelights independant is pointless… If you aren’t going to straight up run from them, then don’t bother.

Don’t forget to rig up a switch to activate your hide-away license plate. :roll2:

i was just thinking about this the other day.

the best way to do this would be to tie all the grounds for all the lights together and put those on a relay.

[/quote]

This would be the best case scenario, accelerate and trun off on next exit/ next side street… or hide behind a dumpster like I usually do :shrug:

Works everytime

Edit: Ive even gone as far as pulling into someones driveway turn the car off and duck down…

or just dont speed

the best way to do this would be to beat your head against the wall until you no longer think it’s a good idea.

Fixed.

EDIT: And why not just kill the brake light switch at the pedal?
