With all the 1-liter breadboxes out here you will understand I get a lot of attention from the law... My car is a hobby car but whenever I take it out I will have at one point a cop car behind me, with the cop typing in his computer to check my license... But my car is 100% legal (-ish), insured, paid etc.I always speed. Speed limits on the highways are 100kmh (about 60mph) or 120kmh (75mph) but I normally drive at 85 to 100mph. My car really stands out and scares people, so in the fast lane everybody will go out of my way - and it's hard to keep the speed limit on a Mustang-only lane. Here in the Netherlands we do not have points to our license - we'll just get a big fine and you will loose your license if you are caught doing 30mph over the speed limit (which I normally don't do).Last year I was caught by a cop in a laser gun, I was only a few hundred yards away from home, my engine wasn't even warm yet (so I didn't go that fast). He told me he was checking cars coming from the other direction but he heard my car, turned around, saw something loud and bright blue approaching and pointed his laser... He and his colleagues admired the car though, I'm always scared they say something about the exhaust but they didn't. It helps I look like a normal guy and I don't drive like an asshole - just a little faster than allowed.My best story though was not in the Mustang but in my daily beater - an old (European) Ford Fiesta with a 1.3 liter engine - it's not fast but you can chuck it around like crazy, it's like a cart. My (now ex-) gf and myself came from a party, we went to my place, at around 1am. It was completely quiet. There's one corner near my house where everybody goes really slow but I found that I can speed through without braking... so I did that. All of a sudden there's a police car behind me, to this day I do not know where he came from...So I slow down, but the street is really narrow there. The cop puts on his police sign (that's how they pull you over here) but I decide to drive a bit further to stop at a bus stop - because otherwise we'd block the entire road (no shoulder). The cop thinks I'm not stopping, so he puts on his lights. I still drive on. He puts on his siren... And I stop at the bus stop. Two cops get out, one comes to my window, asks for my papers and yells at me where the fire is... The other cop has his flashlight out and shines through all windows checking my car... I stay polite and I know they can't have measured my speed. They give me a breath test but I don't drink so I pass. They desperately try to find something wrong but there isn't anything. They ask me why I didn't stop, I tell them because we would block the road. They tell me: we have a police car, next time stop immediately! And they take off without saying goodbye... No ticket.Also let me share this pic, from another time I got busted with the Mustang. A speed camera got me doing 90 where 65 was allowed. Got me a big fine but also a nice photo...<img src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-e-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-snc6/262080_169947249737193_5292195_n.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></blockquote>
