    What's your best tip on how to avoid getting pulled over by police?

      The safest bet for avoiding getting pulled over by cops is:
      A) Leave the communist/high tax regions
      B) Still obey the local laws

      Similar to what you said, if you want to play harder, don't do it in town, congested areas or residential neighborhoods.

    I was advised to just throw it in gear and rip the throttle off until I didn't see any more flashing lights. The less protection you have on, the better your aerodynamics thus- a faster getaway. 😌

    Never been pulled over, but coming home from my girlfriends late one night and cop car pulled a U-turn and followed me. Just put aftermarket led strips on the back as taillights for added visibility and looked cool. He followed me for probably 20 minutes and I turned off, went up the road a bit farther and there was a vehicle gaining on me, pull up to a stop light and it's a another cop SUV. Keep going and he follows me till I turn off. Never pulled me over but both were scanning my plate and I guess waiting for me to let it go, but it was only a stock 300. I just road correctly and followed the rules and never bothered me. But it was the most stressful 45 minutes of riding in my life, especially for a relativity new rider at the time.

    I haven't been stopped by police on my motorcycle, but I strongly dislike being tailgated by the police. I guess they have to get close to read the plates, but it feels more like they want a chase, or to just give a good scare. I've been tempted to let the bike go and jump on the car. I'm legal,ride legal,on a legal registration&newish motorcycle.

    High viz gear. Say the light turns green and the front wheel lifts. Expensive ticket for a reckless rider. Or was it just a clutch mistake from a beginner rider? You get away with more stuff if you look like a safety freak, and as an added benefit, you'll also have fewer cars pull in front of you.

    • @mototipz
      @mototipz  Рік тому

      I agree the safer you look, the more you may be able to get away with.

    Loud exhaust and off road lights on my GS. Only time a cop looked my way so far it's a moto cop waving at me.

    A question I've heard elsewhere and never defined...the answer is probably jurisdictional.
    Standing on the pegs vs sitting on the seat as going thru town.
    It's usually to add comfort if traveling....but any thoughts from a pro...???

      I'm not aware of anywhere in the US that standing on the pegs is illegal.

    All good advice. Lastly, when you do get stopped to be awarded your velocity achievement certificate, be polite and own the choices that led to the moment. The officer is just doing the best they can to maintain order in an increasingly chaotic world.

    I got a ticket for not signaling when changing lanes. True, I didn’t signal, but false that I changed lanes. I never left my lane. I was swerving and moving in my lane to make space away from a car which was not fully in the left hand turn lane (strange position of vehicle when there was no median). I don’t think these officers realize I have full use of my lane (I never left it, and the city won’t release to me dash cam footage to prove otherwise). Court is in May ‘23

      Try to subpoena the dashcam video through the court. Read through the vehicle code before court too.

      Always heard to run from the cops, but wise guy once told me, just pull over, 99% of the time they will let you off just because you stopped, unless ofcourse you were doing something extremely stupid.

  • @rv6john1

    All common sense advice. I've ridden with a few local moto officers in the BikeSafe NC program and for the most part they said "don't be riding like an ass and be in control and we will probably not look twice".

    I only risk getting stopped if I DECIDE to stop….
    No cop will EVER catch me. Period.
    I can speed away, or out maneuver…. I can spin a cop into absolute oblivion and wish he never even saw me in the first place.
    It’s the cops that need to learn the lessons here.

    • @keltonwright7

      All the need to do is scan the plate, then they show up at your house and impound the bike... Cop technology has gotten to advanced to run anymore.
