The easiest way to avoid getting a ticket is to floor it as soon as the cop spots you and if the cop gives chase(which he will) you need only to keep going until you find the next u-turn spot then perform the inertia drift and boost away. The cop will then stop his pursuit for he will be left in awe of your amazing drifting technique and skill, trust me, it works every time....

Ya know... I almost did this... I was going 75 in a 55. It was a speed trap the State Trooper was in a median I come a over a hill just as they caught and completely lose sight in my rear view mirror and was quickly going to take a u-turn I chickened out. Slowed down and the cop caught up to me. $260 ticket...
Almost 4 years guys. I'm still waiting. Seriously, I've been waiting for almost 4 years for part 2.
+Duncan There will never be a part 2 because JF doesn't want to promote speeding
+robm425 then they should change the title
+Duncan Bump!
Emerson Baur-Swofford
Should but I have come to expect the heads at Drive to not do many things when they should.
5 years. Still waiting.
i swear. Drive and FLD is the best auto content on the net. everyday i cant wait to get home and watch your vids. i will never stop
People really need to be ticketed for not getting the hell out of the way. I drive fast but occasionally I will have someone who wants to go faster, so move to the right. Really not that hard to figure out. I still don't know how in the world he was able to get across the country so fast. I have the same gear but in every state it was pretty much the same thing, I hear the police talk about me on the scanner, slow down for speed traps, after the cops don't catch me going over the speed limit they follow me out of the state. Well except for Nevada who put two cop cars on me through the entire state. They even waited across the street for me to fill up my car. Thanks for keeping me safe. Nevada this is how your tax dollars are spent, babysitting people who may go over the speed limit. Can't imagine why you have so many problems, absolute mystery.
+R Feyman I hate that too, they think it is 35 when it is really 45 and they are trying to be a "safe" driver hhaaaaaa. then they say drive like your grandma is in the back well that does not work on me sorry.
+Supra from hell I had one person purposefully block me from passing, so I passed on the shoulder. Getting tired of people not paying attention and road raging nutcases.
R Feyman
Sunday is the worse day to go out driving nothing but slow drivers.
+R Feyman FOLLOW YOU OUT OF WHAT?!?!?!?!?!
R Feyman you could just drive the speed limit and not have to worry about all that bullshit
I`d prefer a laser jammer that would send back a modified info about speed instead of fully jamming the signal. The cops would be happy about the result and I`d be literally invisible. Like magic.
John Crusader then make one
Uhh.. yeah, thanks. Very helpful advice. That did not occur to me.
@@_J.P._ That would be impossible
John Crusader pretty sure that’s not how laser work
@@realstevenxue We know its not but we can all wish
Speeding tickets are not a morality issue.....
It's a legal form of tax revenue and that's it.
Why do you think cops set up speed traps on roads that are far too easy to speed at.
Hills, speed limit drops, slow speed long strait ways....
It's unfair in my opinion.
Tickets should be a slap on the wrist and reasonable. Not legal theft.
Chase Howard
Yup... Which is why your lawyer almost always gets them reduced to improper equipment. You still pay the fine, but no points. They only care about the revenue.
God I hate it when I have to follow obey a law for public safety.
Because of idiots that speed up.... would be my guess
dog dog is it more safe tho if you drive at 60 mph vs 80 or 90?
Just check out Donut Media’s vid on speed limits. It’s really good.
stop voting for idiots and maybe things will change.
YES! this is the discussion I have been waiting for from Alex. Looking forward to the next episode.
@Doffingnik if cops can hide behind trees at night with their lights off to catch you, you should be able to have the tools to see if they are there or not. Whether you're going to speed excessively or not is your choice, but I've been given three tickets in my life that were for less than 5 mph above the limit. No reasonable person would classify that as "speeding," so pull-overs and tickets aren't exactly always fair. Knowing where someone trying to write me a ticket is hiding matters.
I definitely want to see some kind of part 2, or follow-up.
In Holland all the cops have a radar detector detector, so if they find out you have a radar detector(which they will) youre in for an extremely expensive ticket which will cost you more than a detector + the highest speeding ticket possible. So there is prettymuch no body who still uses them (as far as i know). So now people call or text a radiostation with the location of the cop and then it will be noticed on the radio (and that is allowed!)
And if u use a device to block or disturb the signal from the cops lazer/radar you can actually get your car inpounded (belgium) and you will probably have to go to jail or/and pay a ticket of a couple 1000 euro since its a federal law you are breaking.
DutchMastermind why does anyone even bother with owning cars in Europe when these nazis can throw you jail for using a frigging detector?
benzlover55 because the police isnt checking for speeders all that much, today ive heard the highest number of cops ever which was 12 in entire Holland (normaly 2 to 5 at max). and they are only on the highway, its very rare to see them on diffrent roads. And if u wanna go fast buy a motorbike, then you dont have a licence plate on the front and they will have to keep up inorder to give u a ticket :)
benzlover55 Holland is fucked up obviously... Czech Republic is greatest country of all
benzlover55 Ow so not tolerating an instrument that makes it impossible to detect illegal activities is now a definition of a Nazi? UA-cam is full of wisdom.
When I started playing this video, there were no comments. I spent the time to watch the video before commenting. This is how you do it properly and not look like a dink.
Excellent video. Similar style to the previous ones, but a completely different feel. Very well done (not that I didn't enjoy your previous ones). Keep it up!
Its more than 12 years and still waiting for part 2, no pun intended!
LEL see ya in 2045

DaytonCarCare
Most of the Olympic medal winners I know proudly display their gold medals in their house so that isn't as humble as you think
DaytonCarCare
he does have a bit of a point, the moment you ask about those medals, that person will tend to get a bit full of themselves and give stories etc. Same goes for say a superbowl ring in american football or something.
Another thing to think about is pride vs cockiness. Sometimes you talk because of it, same goes for gloating. Thats not always the case, its hard to tell apart.
Is there a Part 2 to this Part 1 video?
Now this is what I wanna watch Alex do! For the first time ever I'm looking forward to the next video that he does. Great stuff.
You are the man Alex! This one’s already a classic. Keep those new videos coming on Drive!
*SpongeBob narrator voice* Three years later. Still waiting for part 2.
There is a lot of unfinished work on Live and Let Drive. Maybe parts 2+ are on another playlist but it seems like there's a lot of cliff hanger video's that actual are entertaining, but I can't seem to find the continuation's.
Thoroughly enjoyed this! Keep it up Alex!
I have been waiting for you guys to tell us what you guys know about this subject! Knowing it is something you are familiar with! FINALLY!
Wel Giorgi tevzadze's m5 is more infamous imo :p
was*
He's dead, and so is his car.. so..
Does the fact that hes dead make lowers his reputation xD?
eternyman its cranks it up a notch :D
Yeah but I suppose since this was filmed over 3 years ago, nobody really knew about Giorgi back then?
the dead guy who was just randomly honing on public roads?🤣
Guess they never made a part 2.
They did it's processing still
Cant wait 4 next episodes!
Awsome stuff Alex!
OMG. Part 2 was so worth it!
PLEASE MAKE A PART 2!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wasted my time watching this.
Great job!
everytime you watch every videos in youtube is wasting your time.
@@Fast5MTA incorrect
Really like this. Cant wait for more.
Much better than the first few Live and Let Drive videos.
Hey google, ever heard a little saying like "if it aint broke don't fix it"?
The comments were fine. Sure, their was a lot of pure crap, but that is simply the internet as a whole. And you haven't improved it. Try focusing instead on things you actually CAN improve. Like "recommended videos" that I haven't already watched, or thumbnails that load when the page loads, instead of my having to scroll to the bottom of the page to make them all load.
I just woke out of acoma and iam back and you never made the second video 4 year later0-0
DRIVE + FLD = too much FUN
alex great show cant wait for the next one
loved this episode! good work alex!
Where is part 2?
I have a question, last month I was pulled over and given after I was "lasered" while speeding. However, it had been an aircraft that did it. I do have a radar detector which went off for literally a quick second about 3 to 4 minutes before I was in site of the state trooper. I didn't see the aircraft but according to the trooper there was one. What would you recommend in order to avoid detections from aircraft, and knowing when and where aircraft are involved in catching speeding. On a side note, I use my radar as a means of keeping me alert and aware of my speed and to keep myself in check, not as a way to get away with breaking the law.
Wtf an aircraft? Sounds like bullshit to me...
They use mile markers on the Interstate to calculate speed. There is a designated channel they use to communicate this to the LEO on the ground. You can pick up this info with a police scanner, just by learning the lingo.
Misho5z in virginia speed limits are enforced by aircraft, they let you know all the time from these crazy black highway signs
super6961 i'm sure you're sincere in what you use your radar but it's still BS. You have a speedometer which tells you your speed as well as other cars on the road. How does having a detector help you check your speed, not be a means of breaking the law and be "aware" when it only goes off when it actually detects something? Something like a device checking to see if you're speeding. Normal people don't need one, what makes your special? I live in DC and we have speed traps, red light cameras, hell even the combination of both at some traffic lights. Using your logic you would be getting tickets left and right over here because you wouldn't be aware of how fast you're going from it going off. On the highway here normal speed is around 70-80mph btw
Thanks for the great tips!!
Best episode of Drive TV so far. Alex Roy is still awesome.
What you guys won't believe is that it's even simpler than that! With my patented psychological system, you can own your fast sports car (or riced-out obnoxious piece of shit import that you are convinced the 30lbs of bondo and vinyl make faster) and NEVER EVER get another speeding ticket EVER again!!! And it's only TWO steps!!!
1. DON'T FUCKING SPEED.
2. TAKE IT TO A FUCKING TRACK.
There, I done just solved your speeding ticket problem LITERALLY FOREVER, and it didn't take me ten goddamn minutes and ten grand worth of video equipment. :D
CK's channel. I empathize with both sides of the argument. I 100% agree with "take it to the track". I have successfully avoided fines/points for nearly 3 years now by "not speeding", simply because I want my points back before I loose my licence. But I also feel like I've lost part of my soul. Driving is sooooo dull. Speed limits (in Perth, Australia) are stupidly low. I now live near some wonderful windy back roads, and they are ruined by a limit of 60 kph (37 mph). The same style of road in England would be narrower, and yet be posted as "national speed limit) which on single lane would be 96 kph (60 mph). So I really dont believe speeding is always about "being a dick". Sometimes the law is cotton wool around the lives of the lowest common denominator, and it sucks. I dont care about the fines. That's "fun tax" as far as I'm concerned. It's the points that hurt.
"take it to a track" is fine if people are doing track like driving on the road. but if youre doing 20-30 over on a highway, theres no reason to be the dick that yells "take it to a track". not to mention, tracks are expensive, few and far between, insurance wont cover track time, and it just annoying. i want o have some fun on my commute to work, big fuckin deal, is this not the land of the free so they claim? Btw everyone on the internet always claims to have driving ferraris and lambos before
Wait, stop, hold on... Are we talking mph or kph?
50kph in a 30kph isn't too unreasonable, but the stretch from 50mph to 30mph is quite a bit...
+CK's channel. Plus you get to meet people.
Yes, I exceed the speed limit from time to time, usually (as you pointed out), in unique circumstances such as passing a semi on the highway, or getting around some jack-fuck who can't figure out why people are swearing at him for doing 20 in a 45....
But I don't go ripping around town driving like a d-bag like most of the people complaining about always getting speeding tickets. People, calm your tits and leave 5 minutes earlier! It IS that simple! Plus, when you jackasses aren't weaving in and out of traffic, I won't have to worry about you stuffing your goddamn fart-canned '89 Honda you think is soooo fast up underneath a semi trailer and closing up my line of traffic because of your idiocy. :)
Where is the part 2 of this video?
^ Really where is part 2 man
I heard its blocked in a lot of countries?
Nabeel Ahmadi Like the USA? Not too many videos are blocked here. I just don't think they ever uploaded a part 2.
TwistedLogic either that or he had to take it down. I've checked day and night for months waiting for the 2nd video. :(
Love the hooning at the end. Alex's smile was priceless after he was done.
I saw these guys in the documentary 32 Hours 7 Minutes - they were fantastic!
6:53 Explains how affording something and knowing how to use it properly are two different things.
9:14 Is explained how to drop the clutch to perform a burnout in his very own high performance vehicle that we know he has owned for at least 8 years.
Credible
+icemankometh was thinking the same ahah this guys a joke
Sooooo... Where's part 2?
Its never coming. JF wouldn't have it.
Arnold Spurga
He is the executive producer of /Drive. He was the guy shooting the laser gun in the video
***** well that's fucking lame

What do you want to know about police counter measures I can help you. I use to work in the industry testing the products. I can also point you in the direction of people still actively testing these things today so they will be able to give you actual test results of the newest products.
All I want is a good radar detector for not too much money, I guess. Learn ins and outs and how to use it properly. Just reading about the technology alone helped me immensely in understanding how speed detection works. The one used in the video is old tech but amazing apparently, just pretty chatty with fake alerts... correct? It is increasingly harder and harder to drive long distances. I am super responsible with what I do and have never had a speeding ticket (knock on wood, seriously, been extremely lucky)
Alex is really starting grow on me . Good stuff!
wow i am so happy i didnt miss this show!
Eh, I drive 70, most cops won't waste their time with 5 over. Literally, I have never been pulled over, ever..........mainly because I know the back country roads are where you drive like a maniac not the interstate
part 2????????????
Part 2, can't wait.
This guy is my hero! You're awesome!
lol at the end, more understeer than oversteer
where is part 2'
It's processing
FINALLY, a useful video from Alex!
I 100% agree greatest show yet.
What's with that dude's weird German police fetish? So disturbing ...
It's for the porn he makes.
I love Alex! Haha he needs his own show.
You are correct I was looking for something to say about him and there it was you hit the nail on the head.
and where the fuck is part 2? I cant find it. Or does it not exist?
hundreds of hours for every hour behind the wheel. bull.
Love your M5 Alex.. Great episode btw
Legendary run, legendary E39 M5!
am i the only one who wants Alex`s BMW M5?
YES You are....
Lee don't even hesitate to waste time reading Brian comment, lol he and any other guy just doesn't know what is the difference between regular BMW and M series, tho I would prefer M3 ;)
EAOImpreza
BMW M-Series pppfffttt...wahahaha...
Only Gay Posers and Sissys dream bout them.....
Real Men own CARS!!
Brian Braker Inferring that an M series BMW isn't a car?
Brian Braker Well by your words, you might be sissy, cause I don't know you own something or not, most of the people try to show they are good but they are not, I not dream about M3, I have 3 E46 BMW, 323 CI 2001, 330 2005, M3 2002, and I don't scream about it lol
I want to see further because its a M5 and its /DRIVE, but this guy talks so much crap I have to stop before I womit!
+94meriks You CAN say vomit, it's not a bad word... lol
Smart tips, thanks!
This is why I love Alex
I didn't get the point of the video...
You're dangerous to others around you.
Drive doesn't give a shit about their long time subscribers. Pay-walls and doesn't honor their promises.
i have to admit this is the first time i'm looking forward to the next episode of live and let drive, too.
"This will now be my drift car." haaahhahahah
These episodes get better and better every new release! This is the car show I would want to be a part of.
This guy is always the most ridiculous clothes
Why does this guy talk all awkward? It does not make him sound more intelligent.
So true
david ivanov Trust me he knows what he's talking about very well
David I. because it makes him feel "sooooooooo fancyyyyyyyyyyyy" (RCR)
Almost 1 million views. The demand is here for part 2. Common guys....so many people been waiting for part 2....we wanna see the legend Alex roy comeback for part 2.
It’s been over 6 years. Alex has new videos on the M5 on his channel. The M5 is ready for part 2. Common JR... he’s already doing content for his channel. Get him to do part 2. Please.....
Thanks for the tips, and love the car!!
Can we get the the point of the video? It's 1:53 and you're still going on about your egos.
It's not for you.
yes alex doing what hes best at... i like this series
Great episode
Great book Alex, bought it about 3 years ago
Alex Roy read his book "the driver" amazing read
Cannot wait for the Radar/Laser episode!
E39 M5 the best BMW ever...
Finally a good car show from Live and Let Drive.
Roy, you are the man
I gotta be honest, Drive is a freaking awesome channel!!!!!!!
Alex Roy is KING!
Everything is the greatest to this guy.
love the music at the start of the video
This was an excellent video! (and it really reminds me of how badly I want to own an E39 M5 someday in the future).
Best Alex Roy vid ever! Good job my nigguh
I want that car. Best BMW M5 ever. The style is timeless.
GREAT vid.. keep it up alex
Great video. I am a big fan of Alex Roy! The bottom line is know what you are doing.
Great video Alex. I've read your book, watched all your video's and have definitely learned from them. I've had my license for just about one year and have driven over 25,000 miles already. Not one ticket, never been pulled over and that's all because I drive smart. My friend's say I speed but I guess I'm smart about it. I plan on learning as much as I can about driving and be the best I can be. Can't wait for the next video.
Or you drive in Mexico and pay 3000k pesos bride money to the cops
Good to see the M5 is still in action.
@TheGetawayer I agree! This is a movie that I have been awaiting for ages.
Best Episode EVER with Alex! PLEASE Do a few episodes explaining how you did your cross country trip and all the other things that followed it like the FBI, Google, and everything else.
i love this car it's a great touring car.
mine is 12 yrs old now & doubles as a family car.
odometer is almost 300T km now.
makes those civic si boy racers trying to catch up look silly on my rear view mirror even when my automatic e39 m5 is fully loaded with passenger, baby car seat & stroller, & other stuff.
though canadian rockies weather & poor road condition haven't been kind to it, it has some rust spots now & showing it's age, still a pleasure drive after a decade :)
Alex very very good points. One VITAL thing you missed that I hope you add to a later vid is that when you are being hit with laser and you have jammers you MUST slow down and turn them off once you get to a safe speed. Thanks again!

MORE OF THESE VIDS! Tons of Info!
More of alex doing this kind of thing please
I remember seeing this car drive up 6th Ave past 23rd St some years ago in NYC. Recognized it right away thinking it was one of the coolest vehicles and achievements a long time. Rather see something like this more often than some other 100k car any day.
Great Episode Alex! Very informative and much better than the Buick Regal video.
E39...The legend still lives!
finally a video uploaded before 11pm from alex the boss ross
