Same incident. 2 counts speeding 100+ moving radar. 2 counts wanton endangerment. 2 counts attempting to elude. 2 counts no insurance. 2 counts DUI

Years ago. Driving home with a buddy in my 72 GTO. Came to a 4 lane widen from a 2 lane section and opened her up. Cop on the other side going opposite direction throws on his lights. Look down doing about 100. I start slowing down to pull over. Buddy says "hell you got him beat." He had to travel about 1/2 mile to get turned around into my lane. Stupid me lays back in to it. Right down the road is a huge hill going down to a bridge that crosses a river. Never let off of the throttle. See a car parked on the shoulder my side of the road at the bridge, just across county line. I get into the lane furthest from him and keep on going. As we pass the buddies next words. "****, another one." Passed him as fast as 72 455HO with 308 gears will roll downhill at WOT. Speedo was past its 140 top speed.

Long story short. Scariest drive of my life. Road went back to two lane. Passing cars etc... never seeing the cops in my rear view. 4 wheel drum brakes don't stop so well. After 3 attempts at trying to get off the main road to a side road to hide and over shooting the turn off I tried to take the last turn to fast and wound up in a ditch.... Stuck. Sitting on the hood of the car when the first cop goes blowing by 4-5 minutes later.

Heard later from people with police scanners the cop at the bottom of the hill called it as a Red Camaro he was in pursuit of. It was a sunset orange GTO.

Spent my first and only night in jail. Got a lawyer. Wound up costing me about 1000 bucks, All amended to fine for no insurance and speeding 60 in a 55.

I ve got way to many to count. But one of the more recent ones

Traveling up I65n through KY headed to IN. It was around noon, fairly clear. Had the cruise set at around 95. Im driving along when I decided to spped up to pass a Camaro that was prolly half a mile up. I burried the needle at 120 and proceed around, well a couple minutes later I look back and see the same Camaro behind me with blue lights a blazin. The officer was very polite and asked if I was in some kind of hurry because when I passed him, he was running over 100. I told him just trying to get through the state on into Indiana. He wrote me for 90+ and sent me on my way. Lesson learned: pay more attention to Camaros with hub caps

the worst I had was "improper turning movement". pissed off at the douche in front of me that doesnt know how to use judgement and make a right turn on a red light I honked, he went when it turned green and I lit it up haha pulled out of the gas station to the right of me and got me a ticket with one of the girls I was "with" at the time in the pass seat and late for school.

then pulled over on my bike for doing "72" more like 80... in a 45. by a motor cop none theless and he told me its my lucky day cuz he's on drunk duty! haha no ticket or nothin
