how many of you hit your brakes?
 

when you are speeding and than see a po po. that is a no no. they see them come on and figure you are speeding and come after you.

Solution: set up an internal brake light switch, thats what we did in 1 of our cars.
when you are speeding and dont want to take the chance of the brake lights coming on or if your street racing ( bad idea anyway ) you can hit the brakes and no lights come on. If the po po comes up behind you flip the switch and there on when you hit the brakes. or if he says you dont have brake lights say yes I do and when he walks back to check flip the switch and hit the brake and they come on. this has saved my ass a few times whatca think

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

cops are gunna know you are speeding weather or not they see you speeding but if it comes down to it why not just use the ebrake to slow your self down....

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

If you have an import, you'll get profiled and ticketed no matter what....

I always just let off the brake as soon as I get next to them so they won't see it.

And yes, the ebrake is also a possible solution.

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

Just dont speed in stupid spots, if you're the leader in a pack of cars you ARE more likely to be the one pulled over, even if they are all going the same speed.

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

e brake ftw. or dont speed

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

X2 thats what I use when im speeding on the freeway and I see a state patrolman ....

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

Man with those new Lasar or lydar or whatever they are they can hit you accross traffic, Movin, going the opposite direction all kinds of ----. ---- cops. I say stab them in the neck when they pull you over.

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

Just don't lock that e brake up. Then your screwed.

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

police dont like imports. Cops compliment camaros and I've gotten off with only a front plate ticket whne I was doin a recline ripper.

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

True story. and thats why I hate pigs.

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

thats when a switch comes in handy

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

ebrake turns on ur brake lights

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

Don't go so fast you stand out in traffic. That usually works for me.

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

I usually find someone speeding and stay back from them some distance. Might not be fail safe but hasn't bit me so far. :-\

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

downshift or let off.

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

if you cant use the ebrake then put a stock exhaust on your car and drop it into first when your speeding and see a cop, im sure that will slow you down :-*

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

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!

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

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.

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

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.

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

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.

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

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.

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

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

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

Ughhhh... I don't think he had any intentions of pulling over. :1

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

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

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

military ID's do wonders

it's gotten me out of tickets

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

unless your around base, then your fucked.

I just keep on going. ---- it. If they got you, they got you.

know your rights :)

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

I've always just hit my brakes way before I get near the cop, worked the other day.. well to an extent. Got clocked at 65 in a 50 when I was doing about 95, slowed it down to 65 and let off the brakes about 15 feet before I passed him. He was also sitting and waiting for someone too, not driving, so it was a litter easier to hide the lights.

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

I agree. I have some relatives who are state cops, and it's 100% not true that following a car keeps you from getting a ticket. What gets you the ticket, is owning an import.

In Delaware, a state cop pulled me over for following too close (I just merged into traffic in rush hour, where everyone was following close), improper lane change (someone stopped, gave me space, and let me into the traffic), and no stopping at a stop sign (he was at least 20 car lengths behind me, and yes, I did stop). Which equaled for me an agressive driving ticket (which were being promoted on the radio all summer, what a coincidence) since any three violations in a row can equal one of these stupid tickets....

I ended up having to hire a lawyer, and in the end am out $800 b/c I was profiled in my lowered integra, with stock wheels, and a noisy exhaust. After this, I switched to a stock exhaust, raised the car, and sold it. No more being profiled as driving an imported sportscar.

My one more annoying cop cousin told me how he likes to speed down the highway, wait for some tard to follow him, the then goes behind the guy, and pulls him over. He thinks this is fun.

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

damn straight.

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

This is why all cops are pieces of ----. don't think for a ------- second that ALL cops don't at some point get this mentality or act this way.

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

I've tried the "don't hit the brakes" move and it didn't work. I let off the gas as he passed, he flashed his lights so I figure he knew, but I still stayed off the gas trying to slow down and not hit the brakes. He starts turning around so I gun it. >:D I tried to get as far away as possible so maybe I could take some turns and ditch him, but it didn't work. :'( When he came to the car he told me he was giving me a warning with the lights and since I didn't slow down he decided to pull me over. :3

That's the last time I decided to use that smart move. :1

I just try not to do more than 5 over the limit anymore. It's not worth it. My driving record is so close to being clean I don't want to ---- it up. I'll speed in spurts just for fun, but not for an extended period of time. That's just asking to get pulled over. :l

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

At that point they have already seen you. They can't pull you over because they think you were speeding.

Re: how many of you hit your brakes?
 

My stiffer springs also help keep the front end from diving too much when I brake hard, which is a dead giveaway even if they dont hit you with radar/laser
