Would you ‘black out’

**Corona-Extra** · 03-07-2006, 04:37 PM

Would you or have you ever ‘blacked out’ on a cop?

**Capster78** · 03-07-2006, 05:04 PM

Yes I have! A few times.

**BillyT** · 03-07-2006, 05:24 PM

Huh?

**Capster78** · 03-07-2006, 05:33 PM

black out, meaning shut all the lights off and git up and go after you been seen doing somthing your not supose to be doing.

many times, my game plan has always been the same, if they get behind me and flip the lights on I'll pull over they got me, but if I pass one and see the brake lights or if they are parked etc, I'm GONE. In my hometown one of their favorite spots was under an underpass a few blocks from my house, stupid on their part, they had to go to the other end of the underpass turn around and come back. Never had a chance, by the time they go 1/2 block, turn around and come back? please. In the fence before they know what kind of car they were after. Did it with my dad in the car once. . .

Oh ok. I did that once.

I forget what I had done, but I knew he saw me, so a made a lightning fast right turn, and raced down the side road, an then just pulled in someone's driveway, and shut it down, and laid across the front seat and peaked out as he drove on by. Then I took off going the other way in a few minutes.

Yep did that once too.

I was driving down some back twisty road at the dead of night, and come across this car. Looked like he had his brite lights on so I flashed him. He flashed back but left his on. So I kicked the brights and fogs on. As I pass him I see its a cop and he's hitting the breaks. Lucky for me I knew the back roads by heart and it was a bitch of a place to hook a u-turn for him. FLicked the lights off and ran like hell.

I pulled somthing like BillyT did twice

**Matto4785** · 03-07-2006, 06:35 PM

did it once to a cop who was in a explorer. I ducked into my gf's subdivision, which has no street lights at all and has a lot of corners and turns. He took a turn a bit too fast for the truck and damn near spun into a parked car. I headed down this one street which loops around and got back on the main road. I wish I coulda saw his face when he took that corner, any faster and he would have tipped over.

I've done it a few times in my TA, but the funniest was in my truck. I had a bunch of friends in the bed and we were just driving around subdivisions just being your average dumbasses when we passed a cop. He saw me and the three kids in the bed but he was facing the other way so I made a quick turn and flipped off the lights. Then we pulled into a church parking lot and parked and everyone jumped out and we hid behind bushes and pillars and shit while he drove slowly around the parking lot a couple of times and then left. Pretty funny.

It would have been really funny if he found one of us hiding behind a bush or something. What would you say to him?
Officer "Watcha doin there son in that bush?"
17 Year old kid "Uhhh..... playing hide and seek? You're it!"

Did it once in my 69 Mustang back when I was like 16, was flying down the interstate, a cop saw me, he slammed on the brakes, turned around in the dirt/grass median, but I kept accelerating, hit the first exit ramp, he went up the ramp too, but I killed the lights, turned around, and went the other way on the highway. He never saw me again!

**myk02k** · 03-27-2006, 11:00 AM

im afriad to do that here in CA. just the chance of having a helicopter, 3 countys of sheriffs, SWAT, and the 5:00 news after me.

in NJ i wouldve, and my dad has (with an astro van), but they make too much of a deal about it out here.

**toneloc60** · 03-27-2006, 12:58 PM

I wouldn't be able to do that in my Z28 if I wanted to. Auto headlights wont shut off. Damn GM!

--Anyone know a fix?

That sounds real safe.

i 100% approve this thread. wow. i wish i had the balls to do this kinda shit, but i'm always caught on the highway with no exits and i'm the only dude on the road.

As far as a quick fix for your daytime headlights, just pull your e-brake up one click (maybe 2). Shouldn't affect your driving any, but you wouldn't want to leave it up for long, i.e. couple minutes required to get away from the fuzz.

I have a few blackout stories, but how about 1/2 a blackout?
Couple buddies in my '96 WS6, barreling around the back roads of Mt. Hood, OR late at night. Came up FAST on another car, and didn't realize it was a cop until I was only 1/8 of a mile or so behind him. Made the first right I could, we blacked out and parked in someone's driveway for a good 15 minutes or so and the cop never came down the street. Figured we were good, but I had to go back out and get on the same road that he was on! That road was like the only way to get back to my buddies house, going back was, no shit, a good 20 mile round trip.
So we're pulling out on the road and I think to myself that all he saw was my headlights and round fogs coming towards him, so I flip off my fogs.
Sure enough, he's sitting in the middle of the road about a mile up the street.
I was in a cluster of cars at this point, and we rolled right by.
