Mention "Autobahn" to an automotive enthusiast, and his or her eyes instantly light up. That single word represents miles upon miles of traditionally unrestricted high-speed roadways throughout the German countryside connecting major towns and cities.

The Lamborghini Murcielago LP640 is a pretty incredible piece of machinery. A road car capable of speeds one would normally associate with an open-wheel racer will always be impressive, especially when you consider it's laden with government-mandated safety equipment, plus niceties like a stereo and air conditioning. Only a fool would explore the car's outer performance limits on public roadways, however. That's best saved for a closed course, and if you can afford an LP640, you should be able to buy yourself some track time to see what it can really do.

I schooled and trained to be a cop. As a matter of fact I spent a couple years certified as a humane officer, although I never took the job. Suffice it to say that I've talked with more cops than the average person has and I've probably known more cops than I really needed to. One of the things that I learned was that, given the right circumstances, almost every cop lets a speeding motorist "skate the rap" now and then.
There is a somewhat prescribed course of action which will help "put you in the drivers seat" when it comes to escaping the wrath of the ticket writing cop and the traffic court judge. The very first thing you must do is immediately accept that you have done wrong.
If a cop flags your plates and turns on those lovely colored strobes on top of his car, speeding or not, you're caught. They are right and you are wrong. Yeah it sucks, but that's life. Signal your departure from the traffic lane, ease to the shoulder nice and smooth, stop your car like a good citizen and shut off your engine.
Your next moves are the most important. If you proceed in a manner which recognizes and respects the importance and danger of a police officer's job, you will earn a bit of instant credibility in the eyes of the law. If you have sun glasses on, remove them and place them conspicuously on top of the dashboard. If you have music on, turn it off. Leave your seat belt buckled, or if you're not buckled, do it in a hurry. If the weather allows, roll your window all the way down and then place both hands on top of the steering wheel. Now, what you accomplished is to send a tremendously powerful message to that cop which will be received before you two ever meet eyes. You have stated that you are giving your full attention to the matter, you submit to the authority of the law, you accept full communication and you pose no threat. You have just reduced that cop's anxiety level by about 75%. Remember, happy cops generally write a bit fewer tickets.
