I HATE that, if you have cause to speed, put on your lights so you're not a hazard yourself.
Maybe the police on here could give me a possible explanation why I see cops doing this all the time. Is there ever a reason to speed that excessively without your lights on? And I thought it was illegal for them to speed without their lights on??

I have seen this many times, on Wednesday a policeman passed me and was doing 20 or 30 over the speed limit. I kinda laid back but kept up with him he passed a lot of cars over the next 10 or so miles. We finally came up on a fender bender accident, nothing big "no injuries", he turned on his blue lights at that point to handle the situation. IMO he did the right thing, I am sure if he had his blue lights on the whole time people would have been at more risk pulling off the 2 lane road or stopping where there was not room to pass from panic. If I were a police officer I would do the same thing, people do stupid things when they see the blue lights. I have seen this many times and if I were them and could make good time in a situation like this I would not use my blue lights either.
