The state and local cops in my area are very cool. The first time I was pulled over in my VX, I was doing 83 in a 65. I didn't get a ticket because after talking a bit he found out we have a common hobby, flyfishing for trout. A couple months ago I got caught in NY doing 77 in a 55. The cop was a nice guy, the fine was not large, and no points on my PA record, so I didn't mind at all. He even explained why it wasn't a 65 zone there after I asked about it. About seven years ago I was doing 67 in a 45 construction zone where the fines are doubled. The fine would have been many hundreds of dollars. He knocked my speed down to 55 and didn't double the fine. That was pretty cool of him.

I've been using red horn lights for over four years now. I'm sure they're illegal, but I'm positive I'll never be pulled over for that. It's just unheard of. No cop in this area would ever do that.
