I hate to say it but I once got out of a speeding ticket by fleeing and eluding..sort of.

I was on my way to work, late, and was doing probably 80 or 85 in a 70 zone on a divided highway. Saw a cop going the opposite way...checked the rear view and sure enough he hits the next turn around with his lights flashing. At that point I was only a mile or so from the next exit and he had to wait for some traffic to complete the turn.

I had a choice: Admit my guilt and passively wait for him to catch up so I could get a ticket...OR proceed because technically he wasn't behind me and wasn't pulling me over...So I punched the gas and went as fast as my Elantra could go and beat feet to the next exit. Hit the exit, went down the road a bit and pulled into a parking lot and waited. Cop goes streaming by a bit later, I went back to the on ramp and continued on my way.

As a kid I did similar. Late night, empty highway in the middle of northern Minnesota going WAY too fast. Got off the next exit and pulled down a gravel road. Waited a bit and went to go back out to the main road to get back onto the freeway.

Three cops were sitting out by the freeway. Went back to the gravel road and kept taking back roads until we got to the two lane asphalt that would take us the 100 miles back south - about 40 miles parallel to the freeway!
