>>471107629>Best part of the book Few people understand the psychology of dealing with a highway traffic cop. Your normal
speeder will panic and immediately pull over to
the side when he sees the big red light behind
him... and then we will start apologizing, begging for mercy.
This is wrong. It arouses contempt in the cop-heart. The thing to do – when you’re
running along about a hundred or so and you suddenly find a red-flashing CHP-tracker on your
trail – what you want to do then is accelerate
. Never pull over with the first siren-howl. Mash it
down and make the bastard chase you at speeds up to 120 all the way to the next exit. He will
follow. But he won’t know what to make of your blinker-signal that says you’re about to turn
right.
This is to let him know you’re looking fo
r a proper place to pull off and talk... keep
signaling and hope for an off-ramp, one of those uphill side-loops with a sign saying “Max Speed
25”... and the trick, at this point, is to suddenly leave the freeway and take him into the chute at
no less than a hundred miles an hour.
He will lock his brakes about the same time
you lock yours, but it
will take him a moment
to realize that he’s about to make a 180-degree tu
rn at this speed... but you will be ready for it,
braced for the Gs and the fast heel-toe work, and with any luck at all you will have come to a
complete stop off the road at the top of the turn and be standing beside your automobile by the
time he catches up.
