What are you tricks for avoiding tickets? Huge thanks to my Patreon Supporters for making this content possible
Tedward Drive a slow car that you can rev out and still “feel” like you’re going fast ;)
@@TakeFlightGarage Big fan of that strategy!
1. The left lane is only for passing. If you're cruising in the left lane it is just one more flag that you may be speeding.
2. Your eyes should always be scanning ahead.
3. Waze and V1 with the music down so you can use your tools as effectively as possible.
4. Watch people's tail lights. If you see people braking ahead, there might be a good reason for it.
5. Always be thinking "where could a LEO be hiding?"
@@TedwardDrives Loving the content by the way! Watch traffic cops, which is the equivalent of the US “Cops” show which I also watch! big fan of the show and it just seems to easy for the cops to pull people over and how oblivious speeders are to cops. Definitely has made me paranoid enough to think about speeding, which is probably the whole idea of “Cops” - to scare drivers into not speeding.
This car is more than 30 yo. It's not that fast to begin with and the speed gauge has a lot of play at 'higher speeds of >70 mph'.

You missed my favorite trick for driving fast without getting a ticket - never be the fastest car on the road; be the second fastest. Find a faster car to lead you safely. Works for me!
you also want to have another car running behind you. so you’re sitting pretty in the middles
I was driving up north from Tennessee and had a line of about 6 or so cars behind me all doing 100 with me
Or maybe dont drive faster than u should, u must be poor or dumb, if u cant pay the ticket
Yep
Yessss a scapegoat. I like to have 1 faster car in front, and one behind. My little sacrificial lambs can take the ticket.
I once got out of a ticket when the cop had clocked me at about 95 mph... this is after slowing down. When he came to my window, my son, who was about 6 years old at the time, greeted him from the back seat with such excitement that the cop let me off with a warning. lol
😂
Step 1- find a little child willing to act like a son
Dodged the child endangerment
@@aidan8860 Yes, indeed. Although, it was on a good stretch of road, in a car perfectly capable of cruising at 100+ mph safely.
Cop stopped to talk with our group in a little town in the foothills of CO. All he said was “his buddy saw us going fast.” Told me I could get child endangerment with my son in the front seat. I told him I wasn’t speeding and if I was, my son is safer with me than most other adults on the road. He’s in a 5 point harness car seat and I know my limits with this car, especially on public roads.
Waze has worked wonders. One of the best “tools” so far.
I check myself in all over the place :)
Being a truck driver Waze is the next best thing to laser jammers and radar combined. The best weapon against tickets is a strong active Waze community and a driver with their eyes peeled and reporting it as soon as safely possible
@@Lui8111 thats why we check ourselves in everywhere :) slows traffic down without us having to be there
@@ryand3880 smart solutions for a smart problem. People are going to speed, if you make a high danger area appear monitored, magic. People suddenly speed elsewhere, maybe somewhere safer.

Well yes and no :D
Yes, there are cars out there that can outrun you even at 300.
But No, these cars are rare, less than 0.1% of all cars in Germany are able to drive northern of 300.
Most cars with around 220PS can do mostly 250 stock, they are quite common (Golf GTI, R, Cupra, 335i, 330d, 540i) and so on), with a RS3 with 280km/h package you are a rare example. :D

Just wanted to say, today was the first time I've been pulled over since watching your video. And of the 2 times I've been pulled over in the past, this was the first time I've got out of a speeding ticket. All previous times my anxiety spiked when I saw the lights behind me. This time I was confident and I knew what to do. So, thank you for saving me 150 dollars.

How to avoid tickets: Drive a slow car. I can barely get up to speed limits in my Toyota 86.
I drive a camry, and for some reason its a cop magnet. They won't chase a fast car that is speeding, a corvette can easily run. Most of these cop cars are loaded down with so much weight they top out at 110-120 so they will pull over the easiest target.

I love what you say about exhausts. I'm a bike guy and, just like for cars, everyone wants the loudest exhaust. I hate a loud exhaust. It disturbs people, police can hear me engine braking when I need to hide the fact that I'm slowing down, and it gives me hearing damage. I love a quiet but good sounding exhaust. It doesn't need to be loud to be aggressive!
@@landenemch8560 Yeah. It does pain me to hate on my fellow bikers but it's true. I will say there is at least sort of a valid reason in that it does let people know we exist because otherwise we are invisible to an alarming amount of people on the road, but also people really just use that as an excuse and a lot of the time a biker's speed is a large contributing factor to not being seen.
@@nathangehman7018 I generally dislike loud exhausts as well, but for bikes, I think there's a practical defense for having an at least somewhat louder exhaust. Bikes are so small that they can be easily missed in the giant blindspots of modern cars, but if I can't see a loud motorcycle, I most certainly can still hear it. I remember one time I had exactly that happen to me where I could only hear a bike around me, so I changed my mind a little on loud bikes, and it's even made me want to put a switchable exhaust cutout (is that the right term??) in my miata for the same reason.
edit: I posted this before fully reading your second comment where you mention this exact thing. lol
@@Sean-Ax I think it's a really interesting discussion regarding bike exhausts. I'll elaborate on my second comment because I don't think I was entirely fair.
Loud exhausts definitely do make us more noticed and it is a safety thing to a certain extent but I think most of the motorcycle community doesn't actually care about the safety factor very much. I think for most people it comes down to just liking it loud, but the safety is how they justify it to the rest of society. But that doesn't discount from the safety factor that it does add.
But I also think that for most bikes, it's not entirely necessary. Typically, if I have to be next to someone on the road (like on interstate 81; if you know you know) I position strategically so that if someone switches lanes, they might come close to hitting me, but they won't hit me and I'll have time to react. And most bikes, even heavy cruisers, have enough power to really accelerate fast and not be next to a car for more than a second. A pass is always an intentional thing for me and I'm always looking for the person I'm passing to switch lanes. A loud exhaust would still make it safer, but it doesn't feel necessary.
There are a few other reasons that I haven't mentioned yet, but I definitely feel they are worth mentioning. The first is pretty simple. At least for a bike, it contributes a lot to hearing loss. Even with nice earplugs, some exhausts are loud enough that I wouldn't be surprised if they still caused significant damage over time.
The second reason is this: I'm autistic and although I don't have a particularly large sensitivity to loud sounds, it's a very common thing for autistic people to be very sensitive to loud sounds, and thus hate loud exhausts. So just sort of out of respect for everyone with sound sensitivity, I like to keep them quiet.
@@nathangehman7018 I should've mentioned as well that I totally agree with your other points regarding hearing damage and why people usually get loud exhausts. I prefer quiet exhausts, myself.
They need to lift the speed limits as people go faster anyway. But in towns speed limits should stay the same
If they raise the speed limit people will still drive faster than the speed limit
I still don't understand how cars get safer, but speed limits keep getting lower. I have 4 lane MAIN ROADS where I live that have dropped with 25mph.. just fucking stupid.
@@minigamer2202 People only drive as fast as they are comfortable with. Look into the 85th percentile rule. For example, you set an unrealistically high speed limit at 130mph on a back road, most if not all people won't be driving that fast if the conditions don't allow for it. Inversely, if you set an unrealistically low limit, like our US highways, people will of course drive faster. The speed limit needs to be set at the limit of most people or the limit civil engineering sets for the road

Ah yes the classic rabbit technique! I did overlook that here. Good call
@@TedwardDrives Absolutely. My preferred long haul technique. Plenty of leadfoots in Escalades, X5s and F150s who never consider being able to stop or maneuver at high speed. Of course on the Mass Pike anything under 100 and you are a moving Chicane.

Yea down here in Houston, I let the idiot trucks run interference for me. My mustang can hide behind them so well
Do it too. If you see a flash you slow down and that's it
having quiet, legal car that doesn't catch too much attention is very good advice, 100% agreed. I have BRZ cricket and I'm not noticing police all the time when I'm sliding on streets in the rain but... they never notice me either because my car is not obnoxious even when I'm flooring it and driving like in GTA... Today I slided in the rain on left turn right in front of trooper waiting for green and... they did nothing. Probably they were distracted and doing something while waiting for green and I was quiet enough to not interrupt their distraction. There's a reason why criminals use Chargers and other saloons very often - they blend in. Smile and wave boys, smile and wave. Don't be Christmas tree on the road xD
To people who say don’t speed:
-The speed limits were introduced when cars where 60-70 years less developed
-cars back then had worse brakes, worse steering, no assists, no anti lock, were uncommon and so not as understood
-fewer safety features
-roads are limited in a governmental standardisation method, where as in reality each road has different attributes

-government is cringe
-anarchy is pee poo poggers
I hate when out of knowwhere the speed limit goes from 45 to 25.

also the government sets low speed limits so the cops can get their quotas, more money grubbing from our old greedy friend called the U.S. Government.
I unknowingly raced two cops on motorbikes once. They put the siren on only when we got over 130. I immediately said I'm sorry and that I didn't realize it was cops on bikes chasing me (it was at night). So they looked at each other and started laughing and said to me: "You thought we wanted to race you?! 😂🙈 your car is really fast, we couldn't keep up" and ended up giving me "only" a 50€ fine 😂🙌🏻
This is my new favorite story
This happened to my dad back when he was younger he ended up disputing the ticket in court and said his car does a max speed of 120 when they clocked him for 135 or something and ended up just getting 24 hours community service. 😂
There use to be a cop in my town, which now got fired not too long ago.. because he would drive this Mustang and try to race people by revving at stop lights, he had tint darker than what’s even legal here. Once someone would race him he’d immediately flip on lights. Don’t ask me how the hell he got his mustang registered as a cop car. anyways he was a major d bag and luckily finally got fired
Me and my dad were in a country-like area and we were doing some errands before we came back to the inner city.
Apparently a cop thought it was his chance to give us a citation for an expired plate. Even though we showed him the new sticker we had just got. $5,000 citation. Went to court with a lawyer and got it reduced to $1. Like seriously.

On the topic of making the cop feel safe, one great tip I got was to keep your hands at ten and two on the wheel as you talk to the cop. Cops are trained to always watch your hands, so this puts them at ease.
So in my country we have a lot of what we call "interstate cab" (basically just a taxi that works on long routes) and 95% of the time they know where the cops and radars are (they're familiar with the route they're taking and they communicate with each other) and the best way not to get a speeding ticket is to follow them ... If they're speeding you're fine it's clear ... If they're doing the speed limit don't speed a radar might be nearby ...just do what they do ... If you pass one ... Many are ahead of you .. There's even a saying here that goes : "if you don't want the green one(cops' uniform is green here ) to take away your red (driving license is red one...and it'll also get suspended for speeding) then just follow the yellow one (all cabs are painted yellow)

Beware New Hampshire. In addition to the forest green state police cars, they can also clock you while driving in the other direction on a 2-way road.
8:20 - you were having "The Talk" that we have heard so much about recently. Hats off to you, it's good sense for everyone. A couple of other tricks: 1) Don't be the fastest car on the road. It's better to be the 2nd fastest and let the fastest guy get the ticket. 2) Be looking as far down the road as you can see. Note how the other drivers are acting. If you see a car half a mile ahead of you on the highway dab their brakes, assume he has seen a cop.
I just took a drivers ed course, your vieos are SO much better. Don't get me wrong, they did great, but it's SOOO easy to zone out after hours, whereas with your videos I can actually observe the road and the ocasional driver you share the road with and it's fun too. Love the science and physics you slip in that adds more context too!!

Despite what some people say , the traffic police (and the police in general) in the UK are, on the whole, very reasonable. I've met a few bad ones with ego problems etc, but that's inevitable in all walks of life. Up to a point, speeding, in isolation, might just get you a warning. As long as you weren't also driving like an idiot, being aggressive, tailgating, weaving through traffic or driving a car that catches their attention for other reasons. Some people love to draw attention to themselves. Automatic speed cameras are another thing entirely. 😁

90% of the speeding tickets I've ever gotten were from aircraft. They fly over highways and measure how long it takes you to get from one fixed point to another. Most of the highways out here have those markers for aircraft. They just radio in to a ground unit and the cop catches up with you and writes you the ticket. And usually when they've already went through the trouble of all of that, they're not writing warnings. Unless you have double D's and have a free Saturday.
Where do they do that?
Aravind Kannoly well I’m in Chicago suburbs
I thought those warning signs on the freeway were a joke lol
They did this in Mass last month
Average speed(ing) trap should be illegal since you can drive fast ON AVERAGE across a long distant but still drive slow for 90% part of them. And it had no idea where and and exactly when you’ve broken the law since it could be anywhere within the enforcement area.
One of the biggest things that have gotten me out of tickets is having a super clean interior

Can confirm, but only with the popups down and favourable wind hahahahaha.
Been pulled over 25 times or so, but only landed 6 tickets out of that. Being thoughtful in where and how you pull over is HUGE. I usually like to pull over on a side road or parking lot and signal that I'm doing so (especially in towns) even if it means driving a block or two further. I also put the my car's (S2000) soft top down and interior lights on if it's dark so the officer can see that there's no threat. Been thanked literally every time, except once... Sometimes you can do everything right and just get unlucky. In my case that was recently getting nailed cruising 20 over by a motorcycle cop, perfect visibility, three lane road with zero traffic, and he was hiding behind a tall row of shrubs using instant-on radar. Played everything right, but it was an older cop who referred to the road as "his" (first sign I wasn't getting out of that) and he was hell bent on shouting at me for half an hour about how many people instantly die the second they drive 5 over. Hey, can't get lucky all of the time!
My last time pulled over was a couple years ago and I was going 19mph over. Being respectful and caring goes far. Ive always been respectful, but that time I checked every box. Window down, engine off, hands on steering wheel, ask before reaching, ect. I even just flat out admitted I was speeding, which people online will all tell you is dumb. Usually Its something like 15 over and they reduce it to 5. This time I was let off with a warning for 19mph over. Was completely beside myself that he didnt write me at all.
One of my favorite tricks is when they ask your speed, tell them you were driving the speed limit exactly, with cruise control on. They will be a little confused and might ask you to drive that speed limit again and they will check your speed, but you set your cruise to whatever speed you were at when you passed the cop so instead of a speeding ticket you might get a fix it warning for a speedometer that is off
this only works if you are going a couple of miles over
Bro even gave us advice on how to rizz up the cop, respect
Everything from the door closing to the sound of the engine accelerating, reminds me of cruising with the pops. Good times
Radar detectors have saved me from thousands of dollars in tickets. Haven't gotten a ticket in the 7 years I've been using a radar detector.

Australia has everyone beat for traffic law enforcement. It sucks to be a motoring enthusiast in oz., you can be ticketed for 5kph over the limit in some states. Fines are $$$$$ and with only 12 points you can lose your license with a couple decent tickets. It takes 3 yrs to regain any lost points. Having a mustang doesn’t help.
@@natsts50 Try to beat Switzerland 😁 some examples :
Getting caught at 101 kph on a 80kph limited rural road = a warning.
A few months later, you get caught in the same conditions again = 1 month license withdrawl.
A few months later, you get caught in the same conditions again = 3 months withdrawl.
If you get caught severaly speeding, let's say at 205kph instead of 120 on the highway, by law the judge must give you at least 1 year of jail time, and a 2 years license withdrawl. Also the fine will probably be around 2 months of your salary and your car might be taken away from you and sold at auction.

"always drive as if you have a dead body in the trunk" me with the dead lady I just ran over in the back:
👁️👄👁️
It was a Monday morning, 18 year old me, driving my black focus st with tinted windows, trying to get around a very slow moving truck on 290. A**hole in a Tahoe wont get out of my blind spot or pass the slow truck, I made the move. Turns out Mass state troopers do in fact, drive Tahoe's, and the trooper in this particular one was not very happy with me trying to shoot a gap 6 inches longer than my car. Lights came on, I panic, immediately pull over about 100 feet from an exit ramp. You would have thought I pi**ed in his cereal that morning, but I deserved it. After raking me over the coals for stopping in "the most dangerous spot on the highway" he didn't even take my registration, did a quick front plate check (luckily I leave my front plate on) then came back with a fine for failure to yield.
Lesson of the day, never ever assume it isn't a cop because you never see them driving that type of car. I sold the focus 3 months later because I also learned it is hard to pay $800 a month in car payments and insurance when you make $13 an hour. Haven't been pulled over since *knock on wood*.
Yeah, Tahoes are fairly common here, but there's a few pretty rare finds. I've narrowly avoided them a few times, but the closest call was a Nissan Rogue. I was in a similar situation where I was trying to get around a slow truck, but there was a Camaro ahead of me and a Hyundai hovering around my left side. After a minute or two the Camaro got over and punched it, causing the Hyundai to tap the brakes. That created an opening and I decided to go for the gap before the Hyundai could close it. Just as I start to press in the clutch to downshift my rear view mirror lights up red and blue, so I throw her neutral, get to the shoulder, and a light blue Nissan Murano with cherries and berries in the windows blows by me, pulling over the driver that shot the gap.
Another couple seconds and the most nondescript police vehicle I've ever seen would have been standing at my car windows asking for my information.
@@MintyGT chicago I have a picture on my phone of it; unmarked Toyota camry.
$800 for a focus and insurance!!!!
Your lesson learned should have been to have some patience on the road and not drive like a jackass.
@@firstnamelastname1712 okay boomer
Man that vehicle sounds amazing
I love watching your videos because I recognize everything, I’m finally a local for UA-cam videos!
As I always said, there's a method to the "insanity"
Or just have Waze running. I can't remember that last time I saw a speed trap that wasn't already marked on it
I stand behind the Waze advice. I actually did get nailed last time because the cop was (in everyone’s defense), very well hidden. I’m just perceptive and saw him but it was too late. Other than that, I run WAZE every time I drive. There are way more false positives than false negatives.
Unfortunately Waze isnt that great at night. If theres a cop in the woods on an interstate at 2am, most people arent going to see them, let alone report them. But most likely hes just running radar and you will see him before you go around the corner/over the crest. Also if they're cruisin on a non-divided highway going the other direction or a side road (Texas...), you're SOL.
Waze can't tell you if there's a cop driving around with radar on because he's not stationary
I got caught speeding last November because no one marked the trooper on Waze :(((. It's a hell of a good tool, but you definitely can't rely on it completely.
I passed by another one the other day that also wasn't marked. I wasn't speeding that time, but my body still clenched when I saw him from the corner of my eye lol
@@lilblingking1491 🤣 I know those ones man. Worst feeling. Similar to when a fucking regular non police Ford Taurus pulls up behind you... I'll never forget those headlights man.
The sound of the car made the video more pleasing than if it was completely silent with no music, love it!
just looking at this 911 makes me happy. such an awesome build man. great vid
I do all of the above plus I slow down each time I see a Ford Explorer or Taurus that looks like an undercover cop. One time I saw an undercover cop pulling someone over in a Corolla and couldn’t believe my eyes. Knock on the wood, but haven’t had any tickets in 7 years in my E63. But I travel to Mexico each time I want to go over 100 , lol 😂
haha sometimes you see undercovers that really blow your mind. legit sleeper cells out there
Tedward I know, right? I sent you a message on Instagram and you haven’t read it yet. What is the best method of contacting you??
I294 towards Chicago will literally have undercovers in any car imaginable. Trucks, shitty little Chevys, minivans...the list goes on
You drive a w211 e63 too? 🤔
Alex Marquez if you’re local shoot me an email. I’d like to make a video about your car on my channel.
Me watches this without a car: “mmmm interesting”
One way to cut down on the risk of getting a speeding ticket: Move to Texas. Most rural highways (including 2 lane roads) are posted at 70 or 75 mph, while a lot of Interstates are posted at 80 mph. And typically on those roads the cops will give a 10 mph leeway.
I have been on a toll lanes section of I-635 in Dallas with a 75 mph speed limit and driving 80 mph.in the right lane while vehicles were whizzing past me.
Here in Germany, they are "Blitzers". When you drive 50 km/h, where 30 is allowed and there is a Blitzer, it flash and a few days later you become a letter, which say, how much you must pay.
Blitzers can be:
- in cities/ villages
- on the "Autobahn"
- country roud = "Landstraße"
luckily I live in Germany. At first no raise in your insurance premium if you get caught and at least in Bavaria there's very little radar control anyway.
was fährst du denn für ein Auto?
@@song-one1910 immer wieder was Anderes, aktuell einen E500 bzw. für die USA E550
Alena Nikitina ich bin kein MC fan, aber der e500 geht fit. Ich fahre einen 300zxtt.
@@song-one1910 da finde ich den Sx200 irgendwie cooler, aber begründen kann ich es nicht. Der V6 vom SX300 klingt bestimmt auch gut
Alena Nikitina Ja ich habe ihn umgebaut auf 450ps (safe) kann bis 650 ps hochgestellt werden.
Meanwhile in Germany: 150..155..160MPH! LETS GO
basically constant awareness of your surroundings is everything. choosing your battles is important
I could sit here for hours watching you drive this car. It sounds beautiful.
100% on paying attention behind you. I got on the highway at night had waze and my uniden r7 running. Speed limit is 55. Have like 4 rabbits ahead of me going 70-80. I was going 70. Here comes two cars in the left lane a Suv going at least 80 and in my driver side mirror I see a state trooper going 70 plus. State police must of not cared that night. He had me dead to rights in the middle lane going 15 over. He was just crusing following other cars going 80.
Been driving like a jerk for 20 year. Still no tickets.
😂
Pretty sure you wanna sound cool but you haven't even lived 20 years yet🤫😂😂
@@d4mterro320 Plot twist: Im a BMW driver. I also park like a jerk 😂
@@golgoth7600 damn it greg
I've been driving very decently for 8 years and gotten two tickets
I agree with everything you said. One other thing I have used, on highways if you see everyone tap their breaks suddenly for not apparent reason, assume they saw a cop.
Any vid with your 911 is an instant click from me, that’s my dream car 🤯
1:54 damn I thought the cops already had him and he was just pulling out the driveway haha
Fun fact: In the script of Pulp Fiction the Wolf actually drives a Porsche rather than the NSX
I don't know if i knew this or only think I knew because you said it lol...It is so wild that he drove an NSX. The Porsche really makes more sense
As nice as Porsches are, they're more cliché and many view them as status symbols. The NSX is equally nice but doesn't have the same stigma, so I think this change helps the character seem more self-assured. He knows what he has and doesn't need your approval.
*Edit: I mean this from the perspective of non-car people who don't know what an NSX is.
I got pretty lucky growing up. My dad WAS a cop so he told me where they all hide and the "real" speed limits. There is one road that is 55 mph but they wont pull you over until you are going over 70 and when you know where they will be it is easy to drop down below 70 in time.
I always look at the top of the on-ramp when I'm on the freeway coming up on an exit to see if there is one hiding at the top of the on ramp or at the bottom, that has saved me a lot, I also use Waze which has saved me so many times. I've only received 1 speeding ticket ever in 25 years of driving and it was in 2001 in town on main st. which is 30 MPH and I was going 42, I went to traffic school and got it removed though. I've had a few warnings as well. I always say your eyes are your best radar! Thanks for the video, lots of good info for us with the lead foot!
I just wanna watch POV videos of people driving their cool everyday cars like this and give me solid advice. Great video, exactly what I needed
Haha thank you! Lots of that here
One sad consequence, and @Tedward you probably have realized this... because we keep having to scan so much for every cutout, every hiding spot, checking every SUV that looks like a trooper... that is time we have taken eyes off of other drivers or traffic.
Agreed...scanning for police at safe speeds over the limit takes away our attention from driving.
Or you could slow down to something closer to the legal limit, respect the safety of other drivers and road users, and enjoy your trip without all this self-imposed tension.
@@brianbeckenbaugh4233 Brian, I know what you are saying, however, speed limits aren't for limits but for income. When your amazon box has a crush limit, don't exceed or you will really risk breaking the box. Or, another approach, next time ensure you follow every speed limit perfectly (and don't drive AT the limit thats the wrong use of it right?) . Do so, and watch traffic around you. Ask yourself, if you honestly do this experiment over a few miles at various ramps and speed limit changes, were you safer for everybody around you? Don't comment, just do it yourself and keep the answer as it is an experiment we can all perform. Or, as another thought experiment this time -- cars have become safer, easier to drive, more agile over, let's say... 15 years. Have limits reflected this? Hmm. Not quite limits are they if they don't follow (until they reach any true physics issue, at very high speeds.) The last common complaint is "but higher speed means more energy upon a crash", and thats always true. But that is, as i just said, *always* true. We should all go 30mph at all times. We wouldn't even go to a hospital in any modern car. But we have tradeoffs to make. And we do.
@@brianbeckenbaugh4233 cry
I’ve been driving for 3 years now and just about everything you’ve said in this video is what I still do! I ended up pretty much teaching myself this stuff like looking for light bars or heck small little sections in the front grill or windshield front or rear for lights.
I’ve also have yet to get pulled over in my 3 years as a young but quick driver
“I love to drive fast” *Prius passes on left*
I never heard of you, I just saw this vid in my recommendation. Just from ONE vid I could tell you're a genuine youtuber n I subscribed immediately!
Thank you!
@@TedwardDrives heheh you're welcome :D
I quickly learned the type of car you drive attracts different attention. Never gotten pulled over in my life until I got me e36 m3. within the first year of having my yellow m3 and having an aftermarket exhaust on it, I was pulled over 5 times all for stupid reasons which obviously never resulted in any tickets. Makes me even smarter tho knowing their more likely to single me out for even the smallest things. 2020 has been good to me not being pulled over wise.
Is that because you're just driving less? Lol
I totally hear you. Having a nice sports car with flashy colors definitely doesn't help.
such an amazing sounding engine
A video in Mass? Perfecttttt
I always watch for patterns in traffic such as lots of brake lights, randomly slowing traffic, lot’s of traffic clumped at one area. I also like to check entrance ramps as I pass on the freeway in case they are sitting at the top of those. I look through semi trailers at rest areas. I also always use lots of caution around hills and bends in the road. If you go fast by multiple cops headed the opposite direction. Relax for a minute they may have people wait for you. Hope I helped!
I agree with you but I still laugh at the make the cops feel safe. Especially when I dont have a gun (they do) and they are above the law 😂 . A good thing I do is roll every window down shut the car and toss my keys on the roof
Oh I agree. I had a cop rip my brother out of a car and slam him on the trunk (he’s Indian) for going 5mph and started screaming “where’s the drugs!” He then accused him of drugging and kidnapping me (I was drunk in the back seat and he was taking me home). They have all the power to rip away your dignity and too many freely do so.
@@TedwardDrives damn :(
You kissed the frog princess
Tedward Wow, was that officer named Bruce Wayne or something?
The thing is that they don't know if you have a gun or not. They're not supposed to know at first glance if you're a good citizen or a danger.
So yes, make them feel safe. At the end of the day, 98% of them are only doing their jobs and, contrary to popular beliefs, they're not trying to find any excuses to shoot you. If you're nice to them, the interactions will go smoothly.
This is the greatest video I ever watched
we pause for a second and look at how dope of a build this is
7:37
You know they’re always hiding on that left after you pass that blue sign with a Mc’Donalds ad.
Truly agree with each and every bit of this - been speeding (safely?) for over a decade and got done recently (laser gun) on a familiar road onto which I know exactly where the cop sits. Except, this time he was sitting further down and not even hiding. No other cars around so I was the easiest target. Complacency is what got me, not speeding!
Complacency is a killer!!
The radar detector part is very true. I use my radar detector along with the highway radar app, so if it goes off, and I get an alert from the app, then yea there's probably a cop ahead.
The Porsche is the perfect sound studio for this type of video. Amazing ambient air cooled rear end sounds.

How to avoid tickets:
Step one: 🚗💨💨💨 🚓
Your Porsche is a beauty ❤
video was so chill love it
One of the best videos I ever watched. I think exactly like you, you hit all the points that I already implement on my daily driving. If I had to add something I would say 2 things: 1) have your driver license, insurance and registration ready before the officer approaches you 2) always try to use the far right lane because it doesn't raise suspicion of speed.
careful using the far right in case there is merging traffic. you probably already know but worth mentioning.
I have had some tickets. And I have had some luck. What keeps me out of trouble nowadays is a mindset that I work hard to maintain. I do not allow the aggro behavior and make/model of other drivers' cars to egg me on to drive like they drive. While I still get agitated by others and very occasionally hand over the wheel to them by getting sucked in to the "I'm going to show you" kind of mentality, I just turn off the competitive part of my brain. That is very hard. But it keeps me chilled out. As for spirited driving and enjoying the car, I ask myself how much money I want to gamble at that moment just to get my yayas out. Usually the answer is $0. I have gotten burned out on loud/fast rules shit. Thanks for the tips, man. Thoughtful discussions of appropriate driving demeanor are good for the community. Hooning in the long run is bad for everyone. But it does make entertaining video fodder.
--Michael
The "I'm going to show you" is actually my problem when I see people waving through traffic, tailgating badly or being jerks in general. And I end up driving like them just to pass and "show them". :/
I have a hard time chilling and being like "Just let him go", but I hope I'll be able to do it more in the future...
When my driving gets too aggressive I know it is time to go to the track. My wife is supportive, hahah! Shame my favorite one just closed :/
@@T4nkcommander these urbanized places love shutting down race tracks then get mad when people tear up the streets because the nearest place is a 3 hour drive.
what a gorgeous Porsche
Luckily on the interstates here in va, there are always “authorized vehicles only” signs before the cutouts so you have a bit of a heads up about where the cutouts are
