Thinking, shoot he'll see me as I pass and nail me for sure, I nail the brakes, but he sees me sooner than I thought (maybe he had a partner looking in my direction?) and all of a sudden I get 9 bars Ka, look at the speedo and see I'm still at 100. He hits his sirens, and I think, "he's got me for 100, thats a big fine, a license suspension, insurance hike, and a few days in jail. He's stopped and I'm at 100, might as well shoot for the first exit and see if I can lose him" And I'm looking in my mirror to see what he does, and the cop is just sitting there...and sitting there...and then he turns off his siren, and that's when I realize there is a cable fence (metal posts with cable running between them) in the middle of the median and he's on the wrong side of it! I start lauging like a fool. So, long story short, the best countermeasure is a fence between you and the cop.
