Agreed. But then everyone would run if they knew the cop wouldn't chase.

If I see a cop, and I know i was in the wrong, I get in the "right" right away (ie get to speed limit) If they come after me with lights on, I pull over, if they don't hit the cherries, I keep going.
No harm, no foul... that's my way of seeing it.

Nothing wrong with that logic. Some people are just motherfucking idiots and can't be a fucking man and own up when they fuck up.

and usually thats enough to prevent a pursuit altogether, or at least get a warning. Just showing them that you acknowledge them and will be a little more weary is usually enough to console them. Cops thrive on respect, you swallow your pride and give them what they want and many a time they'll treat you like a human and not a stupid kid on a crotch rocket.

Unless you're doing a 110mph stand up with your dick hanging out of your pants.

Why O why don't SB'ers pull over and take their medicine once they know they are being chased especially when they have a passenger on the back ?

I've passed LEO's...not seeing them until the last minute knowing I was speeding and then sped up and took a detour...just in case...BUT if they are pursuing me and I see them behind me I just pull over plain and simple.

As already mentioned if they adopt a policy to "not chase" SB's...then you know full well it will be open season to do as you please on a SB and just take off from ANY LEO because he "can't" chase you.

This rider was a dumbazz...the passenger...well we don't know...so yes I hate it for her and her family more so than the operator.

We all make choices in life and the choice that dumbfuck made cost him his life... it happens everyday. I feel sorry for their families, but not sorry for them
