Depending upon road conditions, I might try to break for it...
...but most of the time, I'd pull over and hope they didn't clock me at reckless driving speeds...
I would've done the same thing

Do police officers let you go if you pay the ticket on the spot?
Well if I was already doing 170 and the cop was on the other side it'd be a while until he caught up so I guess I'd say "why not" and just dive down the nearest cross street as soon as possible. Not that I'd be doing 170 anyway. The fastest I've ever taken my car on a public road (empty of course) was 100, but I drive a 2002 so thats pretty fast for that car.
Best rule is to just keep it on the track, or at least backroads where the only one hurt is yourself.

you can't outrun a motorola! If i were doing that kinda speed at night, as a teenager, i'd think about running because he can't see me at night well. i'd just get up to speed knowing he'd take forever to get up to speed take my first exit, pull some lefts and rights and call it a day. hopefully i'd lose him!

I don't think a car has any chances of running away, that Cobra was just lucky. I have a few friends that do run from cops when riding their bikes since it's been pretty much proven that cops don't even bother when it comes to bikes.
One of them though, running away from the cops, saw his friend on another bike hitting a car... the body went into the car through the windshield, the head flew far away after the roof of the car cut his neck. He sold his bike days later.
It's just not worth it.
I think it's ridiculous, you're putting innocent people's lives in danger
lol, my car probably can't do 170mph...

In Venezuela you can easily outrun the cops, and you don't even need to speed to do so since they drive Corollas and Landcruisers.
I don't know what the rules are over there, but the police have pursuit limits over here. I'd imagine you'd have to be pretty well qualified to do those kinds of speeds in a pursuit. I was chatting to a police biker at the weekend. I'm fairly sure he said that even the topmost qualified police bikers are capped at 140mph. Not sure about the cars, though.
FWIW, I don't think I'd have the stones to try it in a car. On a litre sports bike, on the other hand...
Id smash it. If im goin that fast already, GTFO of there.
The Datto will rage again...
At 170 MPH, during the nighttime by the time a cop notices you you'd be gone. Hit the first exit, make a few quick turns and chill on a side street for a bit.
Not that I condone driving like this, but a cop car would likely be stopped or driving around the speed limit. By the time they noticed and sped up to pursuit speeds, you'd be far away anyway. Not to mention at night, going that fast it'd be almost impossible to get a plate reading let alone identify the car type.
i was waiting on a moment, but the moment never came. all the billion other moments, were just slipping all away. i must have been tripping, we're just slipping all away. just ego tripping.
