YA, FUCKER, SPEED UP!!!!!!!!!!
Phenome
It's a reflex. It's not really deliberate.
JamiesEPIRB
Think some feel that as long as they're going nice & slow by the time they reach the cop they're okay, not understanding how it really works
ottotravel
I signal, pull over, and stop the car.
CotterPyke
You doint want to hit the brakes, because sometimes they use that as evidence when they write the ticket. "He knew he was speeding". 2/

cawkstriker
If you don't wrong the law this shouldn't be a natural reaction, it also draws attention to you even if you were following the speed limit
bringbakfirefly
Not really. I always feel like I'm carrying a bag of heroine when a cop is near.
tsherkin
Most people are horrible at driving. This will never change.
TheNezumi
What I don't get, is people that slow down after being caught by stationary speed traps.
TheNezumi
2) I mean you're already getting fined may as well speed all you want and get the entertainment you paid for.
N8DGAF
In Nevada they passed a law where you can get a ticket for driving too slow on the freeway.
MrGoober91
Safety first... right?
Jhonny0darko
People who mash the brakes think their reflexes are faster than light
mydogsdontlikeyou
I mean, do people not know that it's possible to get a ticket for going too far BELOW the speed limit, too? I don't think they know.
RoutemasterFlash
But what if you see a cop shooting?
Prmnic
I swear to god every driver where I'm from does this when a speed camera comes on a 80 km/h zone while going 80 km/h.
Crosive
It's like everyone thinks the cop will say "oh hey a person going 25 under, better give them this good Samaritan award"
Fusionxglave
Unless you gotta go fast.
ec437
Also, if you were speeding, it's too late.
squidbastard
Better yet, why yall slowing at a cop who pulled someone over, this is your best time to get away with little shit
earthflipper
What if I'm doin a casual 112 in a 35?
UserSubHunterOfIndeterminateGender
Just keep going, no cop in their right mind will try to catch you.
AkLonewolf
I wouldn't some one going that fast has places to be!
youknowwhyimhere6969
Or when the cop has someone pulled over on the highway and people in the passing lane need to mash the brakes so they dont get pulled over
youknowwhyimhere6969
Its cool foolio they arent going to ask that chap to wait while they chase after you.
zenoshogun
You do if you are in Victoria, (Australia not Canada), they'll ticket you for going over within the error margin of your speedometer.
Labracadabradorable
Yeah jam that accelerator and stop being a little bitch
clutchthepearls
I say fuck it, if he's gonna get me, he already decided it before I saw him. Stay the course. They never do but I'm only a 5 over driver.
lily10110
I went over 7mph once while trying to pass a cellphone driver... Then I got a speeding ticket. It was bullshit.
barrettsmithbb
I put my car and my life on cruise control, no fucks given
HappyEngineer
Your car has floorboards?
TheBlueMuppet
Classy af.
blackbenetavo
Pro tip: ease on that shit. If the cop sees a plunging front-end under heavy braking, now they're focused on you.
Funfuhrer
True, even if you're speeding. They already see you and it's too late. Braking admits guilt
JustABonelessAlien
They usually see you before you see them.
bringbakfirefly
Yep. Those guns don't need full line of sight.
DragonDildoChandelier
Is this true? I've never heard of that before...
Funfuhrer
It's not law, just a logical conclusion. Why brake unless you think you're speeding?
bringbakfirefly
No. Speeding admits guilt. They have to have your speed recorded to ticket you otherwise you can contest it.
Funfuhrer
By the time you hit your brakes they've recorded your speed. Braking says I know what I was doing.
DragonDildoChandelier
Alright, well that makes sense. Not sure why I was downvoted for having a serious question tho...
bringbakfirefly
These topics trigger the shit out of people. Even worse than politics many times.
mrnosey
I'm black, it is a habit
greypubes
You mean survival
kyris
Black!? Arrest this man!
TheBlackVan
LurkerOfDarkness
So you don't end up with 30 warning shots in your back for fleeing the scene?
wellofmimir
RandomIsotope
Said the nun wearing a hat.
CarlosSpicyweiner
Too late, you've already been shot...by radar
MerToo
I'm in an AW11, it's like being black only the cops let me go afterwards with warnings

HOLAKOOO
rrsig
This made me laugh.
sharkwhistle29
More like survival instinct these days.
JustABonelessAlien
Its pretty simple. Keep your hands out of your pockets and comply and you won't get shot. Some people don't understand this.
LurkerOfDarkness
Maybe trigger happy police needs some training...
Ijustwantausernamethatisstillavailableokaythanks
You are so dumb. You are REALLY dumb.
Aussieausti
Really? Fuck America is gloomy, Australian police officers are great!
Itwasmyname
There was that one guy in Qld last year. That was a bit rough.
Aussieausti
What happened? D: all I've heard is accidental shootings with the police
MungoVitoGotHellaCats
So all the examples of this not being the case are outliers? It's just happenstance unarmed black people get killed more?
triedtothinkofausernamethatwasntalreadytaken
Erm evidence proves otherwise
timemac
You forgot to add don't be black in your list of instructions
JustABonelessAlien
Apparently racism is a requirement for all police officers.
timemac
Depends on where you live. There are cities where the police force target minoriies, there are places that dont
Gilgamech
Was a passenger as a friend got pulled over for doing 36 in a 35. They were "warning" ppl.
FreaksOnWheels
No.
hippybobby
I got pulled over on a moped for doing 27...asked me why I was speeding, I pointed to the really steep hill that I was about to start going
Oblivion59
"Does your moped have brakes? Do they work?" Are those the questions he asked you?
loganthegardener
I think hippybobby was implying he needed to gain speed to go up a steep hill.
mrnosey
theresamooselooseabootthishoose
Wtf? Normal speedometers are inaccurate by around 10% anyway
Gilgamech
I'm pretty sure it's because he's not pasty-white like I am.
BungusAmungus
That's them looking for other issues. I.e. inebriated drivers, drugs, illegal shit.
TheatreStreet
Get their foot in the door so they can shove it up your ass later
DWandRFaremyspiritbeings
I once got a $100 ticket for doing 36 in a 35. Small town, cops were (and probably still are) notorious dickbags.
animatronicvelcrorat
75 dollar ticket here for backing out of a driveway. "Improper backing" whatever that means.
Z0op
That probably means you went 40, with correction thats about 36, which is over the limit. Dickmove, sure, but illegal is illegal
Tigersterne
Small town cop pulled me over for speeding. Gave a warning because he didn't actually have a radar gun.
sooojon
I think it's even better when people slow down for a cop that's already pulled someone over.
UserSubHunterOfIndeterminateGender
That's actually the law in most states. It's purpose is to lower the risk of an officer getting hit by a car.
rattlebone10
In NY, you have to move one lane over for any emergency vehicle.
bringbakfirefly
Except there's a whole other side of the car he can stand on. That's what they do in Ohio.
UserSubHunterOfIndeterminateGender
Yeah, the passenger's side is a terrible idea though. It's far easier and safer (weapons) to conduct the stop on the driver's side.
bringbakfirefly
It's much safer than getting hit by a car.
Thatonedudeonimgur
Actually almost every state teaches a passenger side approach now. My FTOs would threaten to taze me if I went drivers side approach.
