re: Have you ever evaded an arrest/ticket?

My FIRST NIGHT at LSU, we go riding around in a buddy's car looking for the bars. The three of us literally had been to campus once on a visit and weren't from town to know where to go. This is some time back and the area wasn't as developed as it is now.

We are at the light at Highland and Lee headed towards Nicholson when some guy in a Mustang pulls up and starts revving his engine. My buddy (dating myself here - he is driving his IROC Z) revs his engine and I am all "this is a bad idea."

We both take off down Lee at about 90 miles an hour. Of course no one in either car noticed the BRPD unit behind us at the light. He throws on the lights and siren and, of course, the Mustang and my buddy start running from the police unit.

At this point I am trying to figure out how to explain to my parents that I got arrested on my first night away at College and/or got in a high-speed wreck. The three cars haul arse down Lee to Nicholson at 100mph and make a left onto Nicholson. We then take a left off of Nicholson on the first road (it was just pastures back then) and at this point I am screaming at my buddy to pull over. He does and the Mustang keeps hauling arse. The police unit pulls up next to us, screams at us to stay put and takes off after the Mustang.

We all sit there for about 30 seconds before our brains kick in, we make a U turn and haul arse to Fred's where we toast our near brush with fate.
