Dont tailgate that white F150...

[Streck-Fu]

An unmarked police pick up is a revenue collection vehicle and proof that traffic enforcement is not safety enforcement.

Crown Vics, Mustangs (these are sneaky), F-150 pickup, AN OLDER SUBURBAN / TAHOE (maroon), and countless marked cars / bikes.

69/469 area around Fort Wayne is like an ISP car show!!! We have it all!!!!

 

[baddyna96]

If anybody travels in the area between Crown Point and Winamac, it would probably be a good idea to avoid speeding on IN-8, US 421, IN-10, or IN-39 for a couple weeks. Just sayin'

Do you know something that I don't? Please share.

Pfffft, slow.....


The OP reminds me of the PT cruiser that decided to cut in front of a marked park ranger and then speed up from 40 to 45 in a 35 zone. He found out that park rangers can stop you even if your not in a park. I thought it was great.

Hey it's only a V6.

At 137 it's at 6000 rpm in 3rd gear, so it certainly has more to give.

Better than the Mustangs. They might have a better 0-60 time, but I hear they're set at like 112 or something.

Reminds me of an article I read lately. This just give me more evidence to what I already knew...

Wealthy Prius drivers can be huge jerks- MSN Money

Wait what? Park rangers can give you a ticket on any road?

I can't confirm that part, but they can apparently at least stop and hassle you. I just watched it happen and went on my way.

I think I saw this same truck this morning on the west side on 465. I thought it looked odd, a white truck with police lights pulled someone over on the right-side. Probably around 7:45am

Yep. same guy, same time.

If they are anything like game wardens, yes. As I recall techincally a game warden has MORE authority than ISP. They have full arrest powers for everything LEOs do in addition to wildlife related offenses that standard LE agencies typically cant readily enforce. (I could be wrong however)

+1
Although I am not sure where one could hit those kinds of speeds without hitting a pothole or other object in the road and not wreck.

They have a grey f150 and a black f250 undercover down in the New Albany area. My buddy got pulled over by the f250 and had no clue what had happened. Luckily it was just for an expired plate and the officer was just letting him know.

 

[tv1217]

They actually maintain the roads up here. It's pretty neat.

 

[stephen87]

I've also seen him working out on 70 West between Plainfield & Cloverdale. Or a truck just like his.

I've met that officer, he actually drives a white Ram and it's beautiful. lol

I get passed and tailgated (while driving my marked car) all the time. I guess giving traffic a 10-over gift isn't good enough.

Same here. People do not care about anything except getting where they are going

 

[CPT Nervous]

Never tailgated a cop. I pass them all the time. I go by the cop shop on the way to work. Most people are too timid to pass them. SBPD cops usually go about 10 to 25 MPH over, so a lot of people won't even get close. I've passed a SBPD cop who was going 50 in a 35. I try not to change my driving habits when I see cops. Looks mighty suspicious.

I got pulled over in Mishawaka for 65 in a 30. It was winter, roads were slick. His Impala had a hard time keeping up with my Explorer. Not even a warning. Super nice cop.

Another time, 55 in a 30. Made an illegal left turn on a red. It was 0430. Cop let me go.

Never been ticketed. Lucky, I guess. I could have been hit really hard if either of those cops wanted to. I did get a written warning from ISP a few years back. Failure to yield. Technically I did. ISP was on the side of the road, lights on, and I saw him. Speed limit was 35, I slowed down to 40 to go around him. He said I was going too fast. Glad he didn't see me when I was doing 55!

 

[Clay]

they are all over 70, and especially around the work zones.

he had someone stopped going east, I was going west, just took a glance and didn't note the type of truck, just the color.

My mustang doesn't have a governor set on it.
