As far as going with the flow of traffic is concerned, 9 over is the most I'll do.
The only time I've been pulled over: I was driving the speed of traffic (71 in a 65) in a 93' Accord (real flashy/sporty, I know) with out of state plates (OH plates in WI with a MN licence
) Now, I know there are cops/state troopers on these boards - I'm not implying anything, but you do have to wonder...

Catch 22 situation.
Cops pull you over immediately when you're exceeding a speed limit in an attempt to prevent accident or injury, trouble is our cars (and, usually, the drivers) are well equipped to avoid those scenarios. If they waited until you crashed to book you , it's kinda too late at that point.
Best thing is to say ur sorry to the officer, if u still get the ticket - go to court, say you were speeding and won't do it again. Most likely you'll get the fine, but won't be punished too severely.

its illigal in some states to have tint over your 3rd brak light as well.
when i got mine tinted the guy was like "do u want me to cut the tint around the break light?" My response "hell no"

yeahp well i got pulled over last night for not having a 3rd brake light and then the cop procedes to tell me that my insurance and registration is expired i was like god help me, im screwed. now i know all 3 of these offenses are my fault but to be honest with you i didnt even know the insurance was expired cause my parents take care of it for me (im only 18, and no im not spoiled) and as far as the registration goes i didnt realize i needed to renew it every year. <- dumb on my part. well he told me he could and should tow my car and have my license susspended for no insurance but i told him my situation and he let me off with no third brake light and no registration tickets. i got lucky though
i got lucky though

before i had a piece of **** car and was all racing and speeding my way thru traffic and never got a ticket during those 2 years living in Los Angeles. After 2 weeks of getting the Evo i got a ticket and I have not changed my driving habits :P
Believe me its the loud exhaust and the big o wing that attract cops and also shiny colors i think .

Dude seriously speaking, you're 18 and you drive an EVO! You're really lucky in your state, cuz if you're around here they nail you clean to the walls
