Default what would you do?

if you were a cop, waiting on the freeway with your radar gun, to stop someone and all of a sudden you see two vehicles coming your way, racing!
who would yous stop? the slow guy that you caught up to, or would you try to stop the faster car?

im just curious what you guys think, because if this was to happen and you knew that you were way faster than the car you were racing against would you floor it and try to escape from the cop or would you pull over?

police go for the person who runs, the 1st one to pull over usually gets passed by the cop.

From personal experience, I was the one who pulled over first, the other guy kept going. I was told that it was easier to just ticket me.

been there, done that.

He pulled BOTH of us over. We both slowed down in the hopes that he didn't catch us speeding. I played ignorant for a little bit, until he got right behind me with the lights on. When I pulled over, I looked back and the other car was pulled over right behind us.

The cop had told the other driver to pull over and then proceeded after me. He wrote 2 tickets - one for each of us.

I was the winner, once upon a time. The guy that ran got away. It was a motorcycle cop, and I got the shaft.

I would pull over the non-GM car. If both cars were GMs, I'd let the Camaro go.

IF I was the cop I might have to join the race. If I won they would get tickets. If I couldn't catch them they can go.

If I was a racer I wouldn't pull over.

I pulled over as soon as I saw him. He passed me to go catch the other guy and I turned around and went the other way. C-ya!!!! I felt bad cause I enticed the other car into a race, but thems the breaks.
