I agree 100% Lance... whilst this is an extreme case.. I was clocked for 110 mph in a 50. As soon as I was stopped (3 am), I turned off my radio, turned on my inside light, turned the car OFF and put the keys on top of the dash, and put my hands on 10 and 2. A little respect goes a long way (my friend's father was a cop killed during duty) and I got a warning. Turning off your car is a big thing -- if you ever watch COPS, an offender running off with your arm still in the car can be just as dangerous as a gun.

NOTE: I do not advocate speeding or schmoozing officers to get out of blatantly reckless behaviors.. but respect 'em.
