Just wait and see. Besides, you wern't driving your car, so your gf can say she wasn't driving the car and she doesn't know who was. Bummer he got your plates, but unless he looked at your license, there isn't a whole lot he can do. Are you sure he's a cop?

He didn't get any more info than the plates? I wouldn't worry. If you're identified as the driver, then I'd start to worry.

I dont if it is just me..but, that didnt make much sense!

Also, if you want some advice, dont race and dont speed.

In a sense it would be good if you do get caught, because some people (myself included) ONLY learn the hard way! It would be better to get arrested now, than later on down the line, killing yourself or someone else while racing!!

Hey, I had to get two tickets (in a 3 month period-and had my liscence for 4 months)...before I slowed the hell down. I believe the only way to learn is the hard way!

I'm tempted to say the same thing. We've all done it once or twice, but it's best to not make this a habit.

A good friend is in ICU right now from an accident a week ago. Really, not worth it.

While it might be good for this guy to get caught for street racing. I think that this incident has already taught him a little lesson, and next time he is tempted to race he will think twice.

Re: I Need Advice Quick!!!!

But how do you resist when a Honda Dodge or some Hundai pulls up next to you and revs up his engine. I mean, I am not buying a turbo car and making it all fast and then not showing off what its capable of against some riced up cars. Besides when the adrenaline hits you its hard not to race. I love street racing even though almost every one out here is against it. Until there are nice and fast cars people will keep racing .

man, you guys and your turbo cars. Thats one of the reason why I opt not to get a turbo. I'm just not into racing and shit right now.. Especially when its done Illegally. That and the fact that I couldn't afford it. I've gotten enough speeding tickets in my N/T through out the years. But yea, somethang like this happening to my friend. He was actually in a residentual area and a "undercover" cop got him. He told my friend "you'll be getting a house visit" LOL had my friend worried for weeks.

Re: I Need Advice Quick!!!!

That really sucks man. We all have to learn our lessons somehow though. For me, it took 3 speeding tickets, a police roadblock, a helicopter, and seeing my brother total his car. I definetly learned the hard way also... I guess all you can do is slow it down and wait it all out until you hear something from them. Its too late now to do anything now. If this all does go to court or anything, it will be your word against the cops, and they sure ain't gonna believe yours... Good luck with it all...

Yeah, I wouldnt worry about the off duty cop thing. I dont think they have any power when they arent on duty. My friend did a bunch of stupid shit and had an off duty cop follow him until he stopped, then the cop chewed his ass, but he didnt get any ticket. If anything, the off duty guy would tell all his cop buddies to watch out for you. I bet this all depends on your state laws.

Re: I Need Advice Quick!!!!

I had that same thing. I posted it awhile back. Basically, went racing against another N/T Talon. Lined up in the factories all set to go, and a cop pulls up right behind us. I take off, normally, and so does the other guy. Lights go on, he pulls over, I take off. going home then, a cop pulls out, makes a U-turn, and gets behind me as im doing the limit and driving good, and rides me for like a half mile. I didn't drive bad for 2 months.

They'll be watching you... just don't do anything stupid.
