Go for a ride and find out first hand...

Cops are not suppose to engage in hi-speed chases for mistameners (sp)... blah, blah, blah

As long as you act respectful and mature, you will be ok... doesn't mean you will not get a ticket though

Right. I just got run off the road by 2 TPD cops with my wife on the back last month. That was with my turn signal on and braking to pull over. Reason for running me off the road was i was riding a "sport bike" which usually run from the police.

I got a $115.00 ticket for disobeying a traffic conveyance for going 127 in a 55 or 60... Respect always helps... But um yeah the cop even said he had to go well over 120 to catch up...

The only time I've been pulled over on the bike, I've been let go. Was doing 22 mph over the speed limit or something. He told me he didn't want to be scraping me off the ground I was thankful yet hardly flattered.

...and further proof why there needs to be a smilie limit for newbies.


its discouraged, but discretion is to be used by the officer, and the policies differ between agencies.
