I dont like to drive super slow, I like to drive pretty fast.. not recklessly, but fast. One thing about me, I dont speed when going straight.. thats pointless. Whats the point of going fast while going straight. In the canyons, I always end up pulling turns.. getting cought while IN the turns is hard.. most cops dont sit in canyons, most cops dont expect people to speed in the turns. Its the hardest place to determine ones speed and its much easier to just cite the masses of people who are speeding on big, flat, wide streets. So chances of getting cought in canyons is much more slim.

Freeways, I tend to go pretty fast.. usually 80mph.. sometimes faster. But as long as you keep a pretty good lookout you should be fine. If you go with the flow of traffic and dont weave in and out of lanes recklessly, why would you get pulled over? Keep your eyes open and obviously slow down when you do see cops, its a matter of respect and trying to blend in.

If your car is so fixed up that you get pulled over everywhere you go, thats your problem. My car has a pretty noticeable look, but I think its still fairly stealthy considering there are just SO many other cars that are more fixed up.

Besides all that, when cops DO pull you over.. you have to get a routine. You have to show respect, know how to talk with respect, and be honest. Cops know their roles, they know how to bring out the worst in people.. for them, it helps generate tickets which makes them money. They'll BE dicks so that YOU can be a dick, as soon as you messup.. they will be there to cite you. When you get pulled over, its nothing more than a business transaction waiting to happen. The more you talk, the more of a chance you have of getting FUKKED.

Where you drive and how you drive makes a big difference, I never go on super popular streets.. I try to stay away from them. In LA, I'de rather take smaller streets and canyons.. its just quicker, less traffic, and smarter. As for being around street-racing areas, its probably a good idea to stay away. I know about the North Hollywood street races but I know better than to go in those areas. Why? Because I dont want to be suspect.. period.
