Entering NJ from NY rt17S to Franklin Lakes Exit on i287S
Est. Time: 3 mins
Est. Ave. Speed: 137mph
9:47am 7-**-06

Im comming around the 4 lane branch of highway connecting to the above mentioned roadways together at the above mentioned time. I'm in the left lane consistantly passing cars on the right of me. The speed limit is 55mph and im traveling at around 85mph (give or take a few mph). Suddenly, once im in the middle of the bend I am face to face with a NJ State Trooper Cruiser Parked in the grass medium behind a bush just itching to pull someone over and fill his summer quota. I continue pass him, speed unregulated. As he comes into focus in my rear-view I can see his reverse and roof lights and his wheels begin to move twards the highway. I am in no mood to get pulled over as it would certainly land me in a more constraining position than the regular outcome of getting a simple speeding ticket. I quickly accelerate and begin to manuver through the traffic in the alternating lanes ahead of me. As i travel at a solid 120mph I begin to realize that the cars in front of me are slowly melting into a gelotinous glob of shining metal and red taillights. I immediately pull into the right hand shoulder. At this point I can see miles ahead of me and have clear ground. As I push my v8 engine harder than ive ever pushed before. As I look breifly at the speedometer, 148... look down agian pushing the pedal, 152... As i look up I begin to make out what looksl like the next exit off the highway (Franklin Lakes). As I controll my deceleration I merge in front of a large fish truck and enter the off ramp. Almost in disbelief of the fact that I "made it", I proceed to pull the car into a private housing development (the biggest maze i coudl find) and found a safe place. I put the car in park, unbuckled my seatbelt, and turned it off.

The last time I looked back to see the cops progression was before i pulled on the shoulder. I never looked back afterwards. I'm just happy I made it home in one piece.

Nice story......however, driving the right hand shoulder @ 100mph is just asking for something bad to happen.

rubberninja

I 100% agree. Unfortunatly it was my only option.

C43AMG

Just curious , how long did you sit there till you considered " the coast is clear"?

Air Marshall Eldritch

That's scary. My heart would have been racing thinking I'd be toast if he radio'd ahead to one of his buddies.

I always thought the cop package was fast, but I heard recently that the Crown Vic police pack still only has a 225hp V8 or thereabouts.

C43AMG

Negative , my brother-in law said the max he's ever gotten any troop car to do was 105mph - too loaded down with gear.

So ok....everything decision you made from the beginning to the end was irresponsible, unsafe, stupid, and just downright wreckless. You should probably be behind bars for the danger you put yourself, the officer (who I might add pulling someone over for exceeding the speed limit by 30 is hardly guilty of merely meeting his quota) and all other innocent motorists on the road in. Shame on you! Bad Benz Driver!

Now that I have that out of the way...

Very nicely written story! You had me on the edge of my seat the entire time! Do much creative writing in your spare time?

Standard police package for police cars around here is very simple;
bigger brakes
bigger tires
transmission cooler
power steering cooler
engine oil cooler
high output alternator for the added electronics
cops will mod their personal cars not city or state owned cars.
Other states have interceptors with high hp engines and weight reduction.

Dangerous? a big YES! But do I love this story? a big YES!

Way to go, I'd of loved to hear what that cop was saying on his radio during this pursuit! Priceless

I chilled for about 30 mins.

Hense the reason i was going so fast. Hit the closest exit as fast as you can for a clean getaway.

Woooah there! Now, granted that driving in the shoulder that fast (if at all) is a very unsafe thing to do for myself and the other drivers on the road and i'm not justifying anything I did as "right". I shouldn't of been speeding in the first place but, I'm on vehicular probation untill Jan 07 for driving without my licence on my person so if I get pulled over at all for anything I get a minimmum 30 day suspention. I work and go to school etc... i can't not be able to get myself around. So i'm not the one to try to pull over. It's not like i can just pay it and be done with it like everyone eles. Plus, I haven't been pulled over for almost 8 months now.
It was a split second decition that had to be made and i'm glad I made it. Everyone's safe, i'm still driving, and i have an awesome kill story.
Now obvously pulling someone over for exceeding the speedlimit by 30mph is certainly justified but it was the way that he was sitting all sly behind a bush and what not. Sneaky *******.

On another note, thanks for enjoing the way in which i wrote the story. I just threw that one together for the thread; didn't even go over/proof-read it. I'm sure there's oodles wrong with it.
I used to do a bunch of writing but havn't in a while.

YES! Why don't they ever show thoose scenes on COPS!?! hehe

Rubberninja you may not want to post this story with a picture of your front plate in your signature for all to see. Just a thought.

PerisanGodFatha

vader

rubberninja

come and get me

raymond g-

though it makes for fun boasting.....i think it's irresponsible and reckless.

ldangeli

Makes no difference, if the story is true the trooper had his plate prior to moving his cruiser. Knock knock jackass.

Honestly it is the irresponsibility of driver like you that cause innocent injuries and deaths. Seriously not impressed with your "story".

c55m8o

Um, in light of this... Disable Your Sig Pic RIGHT NOW until you redo it with your license plate blurred out! (I'm writing it down right now; for leverage if I ever need it )

rubberninja

...and that is exactly why i could care less... however ill probly get around to blurring out the lp for the hell of it when i get home.
