wire a switch into the ground wire for ALL the rear lights, usually just one or two ground wires.

hit the switch, kills ALL lights.

Not that I ever did that when I was a teenager........

lights out copper!

not true.

I've been pulled over twice when following speeding cars (ie going their speed). A friend was pulled over once following other speeders, asked why they were pulled over and not the others, and the cop said because "you were pushing the other cars to speed."

I think the biggest factor is who the cop feels like pulling over. If you're in a little import with rims behind a couple stock cars, I guarantee it'll be you that's pulled over.

Best bet is to slow down as fast as possible. Don't admit anything, don't say how fast you think you were going, and after he writes up the ticket and comes back, ask to see the radar gun. Hopefully he cleared it or something. haha.

Yeah, never admit to anything. Not only will they not have to prove that you were speeding, but in some places (if not all), it gives them the right to search your vehicle since you've committed a crime. Always play dumb.

The police try to get you to self incriminate by asking you questions like "do you know why I pulled you over?". Don't fall for it.

yea....because killing all your rear lights at night isn't giving the cop yet another reason to pull you over.

I've thought of having a switch like this before, but I think I'll be fine without it.
