I don't know if it's a custom in the US, but from where I'm from in Europe, we flash our high beams after passing a cop into oncoming traffic to warn them. It is a nice gesture considering european speeding ticket fees
@@autismion In the opposite lane, when someone sees a cop in your/oncoming lane, he can flash the high beams as a heads-up for you as he's passing by you, as my namesake said here in Europe (atleast my country), it's common courtesy.
He just had to turn the siren noise on too. The cop being on the shoulder of the road at night is way more dangerous than some speed. I'm sorry man. I hate that feeling. Happens a lot to me.
So absolutely annoying, the fact we are their only ways to make money, it enthralls me. So many meth/black tar dealers out there they could be finding, but nope, we are their easy cash.
Tedward no wrong! Police do not care about that! They know where all dealers are and where all dope dens are they know because they like to pick off easy targets, the small time personal use fiends.. then claim it a victory and try to say that they recovered x y and x from the steets and blah blah blah. No speed trap is set to catch anything other than money.... 99.99999% of stops are exactly what you encountered, no drugs, nothing illegal other than a few mph over a possible invalidly slow speed limit. While I am fairly respectful to cops when they are respectful towards me, my overall respect for them in recent years has reached an all time low as my eyes have opened and I realized how reality really is with these guys. But it going to get into it about all the ins and outs this is about speed traps and personally I beleive speed traps need to be a thing of the past, both officer involved and automated.. I do not think this would increase number of people speeding or crashes that occur. Most everyone drives responsibly and within rules, few of us like me and you who stray out of the rules on right occasion for some fun and maybe 2 kids that treat the roads like a race track. Who do you thing these officers are going to catch? Probably unlikely to catch the 2 people tearing about, they probably wise to where police like to hide. Would they catch us? Ya maybe more list us than the two kids ripping about. How about the person doing 5-10 mph over limit and touching the line coming out of the corner off a hill? Probably will be them cuz much more of those people exist so opportunity for police to jump on them is much more prime.

It really bothers me just how people in the US have to be so extremely aware of their smallest actions arounds cops (e.g., properly choosing the place to pull over, holding the hands in clearest possible light to show that they are empty, ask permission to access the glove box). The first and only time i got a speeding ticket i was stopped, the cop came to my window, asked for the registration, i just told him hello and reached for the glove box. No guns were drawn and nobody got shot that day by a cop (wrongly or otherwise). Strange country, everyone is always so much on edge.

don't wanna be misunderstood but by your name I asume you're either Portuguese or Brazilian which, I you're Brazilian is less likely due to the actions the police take there but anyway, the thing is, there are a lot of incidents where a cop was being nice and let the person feel at easy and then when they approached to reach for a license or registration they got shot and killed, you don't really know who's on the car and how they are and what they have, or what they are going to do, if they reach behind in a place that you can't see what guarantee do you have that they don't have a firearm or some other weapon?

I've met car enthusiasts who could go 80 around every corner at night and still drive safer then someone texting on their phone or just not using signals.
Bro you must have testicles of steel to be driving an '88 911 on a road with no lights or exits and an ominous haunted history... I would be so scared that the car would encounter a mechanical issue at the wrong time.
Last time I saw a police car chase after someone, they overtook me on a single lane (each way) highway, and only turned on the lights (but no siren) as they passed at what seemed like full throttle in a Holden Commodore SS (Chevy SS). Got it on dashcam. Pretty sure it was a solid line in the centre (because of a crest), and after overtaking another car, they had to move over because there was an oncoming car.
I appreciated you talking about the gearbox. Having only driven earlier 911s with the 915 gearbox, I know these require a deft, gentle touch, and shifts cannot be rushed. I was not aware that the G50 cars (which command more $ and demand) have their quirks too and cannot be quick-shifted like more modern cars.
The high beam from the opposite lane was to signal to you that there was a cop. Some people will try to warn you of up coming cops when they flash high beam at you.
Awhile back in June (on my birthday) I was driving behind this black charger going 10 under the speed limit and he was swerving so I passed him going 10 over and BOOM red and blue lights. Pure anger
It also is the camera just having trouble picking up the light. My camera has had trouble at night even when I’m wheeling in my jeep, which puts out plenty of light.
@@tomjoad1363 Wattage isn't the whole story. LEDs are waaaaay more efficient than anything that came before before. A 40-50 watt incandescent household light bulb can be replaced by an LED bulb that draws 5-10 watts and is noticeably brighter.

14:06 And that's why I could never live in the States. The worst thing that can happen to an American is to get pulled over by some psychotic cop that will freak out and shoot you because you moved your arm by an inch.
I've done the Route 66 from start to end and never been pulled over. Justi n case I read a do/don't when being pulled over. Turn you engine off, open your window, turn on your dome light and keep your hand where he can see them. Best way for registration, licence and insurance is the sun visor. You can't hide a gun there.
warm summer nighht drives are incredibly special. cars sound better and it feels like you are more engaged with it. not to mention that usualy the speeds are quite a bit lower which make for a great way to clear your mind and enjoy the moment you live in.
If there's one thing I don't miss about the US is definitely this. You can't even have a little fun without worrying about cops everywhere, it's sickening, idiotic and pure police/nanny state mentality. He posed way more danger to traffic standing over there than you did while driving "fast". Meanwhile, morons driving with their high beams on get nothing.
Word of advice, when continuing to drive to find a safe place to pull over for a traffic stop, engage your hazard lights and slow down. This signals to the officer that you acknowledge them and that you're looking for a safe place to pull over.
had the directional on instantly to let him know. Should have been enough. Honestly wouldn't have even found the hazard switch in this car at night quick enough.
it is absolutely true in some states and counties, must be clearly visible by 300 feet and not within a certain distance from a speed change, clearly visible at night includes lights on, state patrol are exempt from this rule in my state
J J Yeah, usually in that situation you could gear down and haul ass. You typically have a pretty good head start already, especially if he’s dead stopped. I say could because I’ve dipped and gotten away dozens of times but getting caught once just made it not worth it anymore. Now, I keep it below 20+ and I’ll just take the ticket if I get busted. Fun times though. Goddamn fun times.
J J Believe me, I wasn’t planning on stopping, but the Highway patrol was right on my ass. Figured I’d better take the ticket rather than having to outrun the radio
@@jounaas Not condoning running, but in my experience, if you’re far enough ahead, they usually can’t read your tags. They also can’t prove you even knew they were trying to stop you. They WILL however slap your ass with Reckless charge and any other infraction they witnessed. Either way, they can’t prove YOU were driving the car when they show up to your house. Honestly, you’re not even obligated to answer your door for questioning. Still not worth it though. Even a Hellcat can get stuck in unpredictable traffic.
Did the same thing you did during a snowstorm one time, ie pulling off to a safe place for us both to be 100-150 meters up the road going maybe 30-40km/h. They pulled guns on me once i pulled over because they thought i was evading.....in a base model subaru....in a snowstorm.....in a small town....with my license plate clearly visible. To say they were bored is an understatement. No ticket as well which is nice, but bullshit to pull guns for something so silly.
I got pulled over for speeding once. The speedometer only showed that the speed was 5 mph above the speed limit, and the cop said I was going 15 above. Unfair.
Hi there! Just a suggestion. Try installing led bulbs in the Porsche. I’m currently using the Hikari, and it’s working great in my 00 solars. It be nice if we the viewers can see the road pretty well and the dash as you rev. Cheers!
Just want to say I appreciate you for taking off the high beams for oncoming traffic.Thats all that Boston traffic does especially on rainy days.Its annoying
Honestly this is why in the states it sometimes helps to have a good radar detector. I remember some time back you had a valentine in your e92. Was it beeping relentlessly?
@@TedwardDrives I feel naked driving without my Escort360. Have mounts & cords for both cars. It's a must IMO. Especially at night. From the video, it didn't seem like you were going that fast. Probably sounded a lot faster than it was.
I've had a cop behind me with his lights on, I had just gotten my intermediate and was doing really good with driving. Went about 65 around some curves, feeling the body roll and getting myself used to driving a classic car at higher speeds when this guy came around the curve behind me lights on and siren blaring. The sucky part is that there was nowhere to pull off. Thankfully I edged over to show that I was looking for a place to pull off and he went around me. This car is too old for hazard lights to be standard or else I'd have used them.
Man coming back to this video is always hilarious, I can't believe how much driving I've done since after this previous summer Edit 5/31/21 I already have my license as of 5/18/21, still a great video.
Responded to a call one night out in the boonies next town over. Very woodsy flat land. So these guys had a race car for drag strips. Old foxbody mustang. Beautiful car too, from what I could see. They used to test run it just outside the main town on a nice flat stretch of road. You could tell they did it there many times because, on google maps, you could actually see the spot where they'd floored it from EVERY SINGLE TIME. Well, on this night, lady was coming the other way at about 70mph while they were setting up. One inside the vehicle, 4 standing around outside the vehicle on the road getting ready to run it. Lady didn't see them until it was too late. Showed up to 3 very dead individuals and one walking around with some relatively minor scrapes and a nice puncture with no blood. Idk how that one guy survived, but the others were VERY dead. I love running cars, but that image sticks with me. The one guy who wasn't immediately visibly dead we started cpr on and realized it was just jello, and definitely not going to help him. But that incident is a firm reminder in my mind to always leave a little left in the tank to make sure you can move out of the way of who the hell knows what will come. But these backroads you're driving, while more hilly, very much remind me of that.
Looks like you are in MA? Any favorite driving roads? I am near to Lexington MA and always on the lookout for some fun backroads to explore. Love that night time summer smell too!
Heading further north towards New Hampshire are the better roads. Don't really know many winding roads that are drivable unless you go there or very Western Massachusetts. I'm up for corrections if anyone has them.
@@grownsimba8120 some fantastic driving roads in Lincoln, concord, Carlisle, Wilmington, and North Andover. Check out ash st in North Andover. Twistiest road inside of 495
I've only been pulled over once on the turnpike. Very dangerous naturally. So my first inclination was to put my turn signal on to let him know I was going to pull over, I'm just trying to find a decent spot. But also having fire plates and being a firefighter, they kinda know you're lookin out for them. First thing he asked was where I worked.
Been there a few times. I had a 914-6, my first new car after High School. two summers later I lost it in an accident, I hit a patch of sand during a night drive and slid into a tree. I wasn't injured but the car was totaled. I couldn't find another 6 cylinder at the time. and then they stopped making them.
I had that happen many years ago, cop drove fast to "catch me" though i wasnt driving that far over the posted limit. Either way you go through the motions etc, after he gives you his piece of mind aka "where's the fire" all the cliches he wasnt running radar but visually paced me. You, Pay or fight the ticket... then about 3 months later. A minivan behind me, tailgating me, me doing 2-3 over the limit, nothing crazy, I see a cop with flashing lights behind him, i'm leading the pack. we both pull over, the cop behind the min van. "you in front of the minivan youre ok, move on" OHHH did i drive 2mph under the limit allllll the way home. where I pulled over was 10ft from where I pulled 3 months earlier. I changed my route after that
wow I've never been pulled over from rear radar, It looked like you were going 40 mph max in what I can assume is a 35. I guess my point is it looked like you were going really slow, any chance you'll share your speed vs the posted speed limit?
@@TedwardDrives Lol I've been there, first time I got pulled over at 16 I was doing over 70 in a 35 through a yellow light, got pulled over and was freaking out to my friend next to me. Cop asks for my license I was so scared I handed him my credit card and once I finally got him all the right credentials he let me off with a warning.. that was the day I cooled down because I could've very well lost my license. The experience made me a lot smarter but also I think I realized my luck had probably reached its limit.
Aw man, sucks to be in this situation. You should've pulled a hard right at Saratoga. All because you've opened the sunroof and pointed that air at you.
I need to get a go-pro at some point. I got a hero 3 way back in the day, but it's sat around a long time and become basically worthless. But new gropros are like $500, and I find it hard to just drop that kind of money on something I really don't need right now... Plus there's other things demanding my spending. My 2 external drives are both above 40k hours now, and they've been going for a long time. They need to be replaced. Plus I need an internal 16tb drive on my server. It sucks having a ton of hobbies.
Man your headlights are horable, I'm not sure if its from the recording or the car just has bad lights. In some places was not able to see the road at all in your video. I had to drive a car with weak headlights for a while and night drive out of the city was a no go for me.
Hi, what year is his Porsche from? I’m new to the Porsche scene, and I’ve always found these models to be the best looking. I think it’s the 964 (1994), but am not sure...
Thankfully warning. I think the camera makes them look worse but the low beam setting isn’t great. High beams do a pretty good job but certainly not modern standards 😂

Where I live I've never actually seen a cop sitting on the side of the road without his siren lights on
2:46 the coment section has made youtubers become anxious.
Try getting pulled over doing 53 over the limit. Damn near died when I saw those red and blues
J J Yeah, usually in that situation you could gear down and haul ass. You typically have a pretty good head start already, especially if he’s dead stopped. I say could because I’ve dipped and gotten away dozens of times but getting caught once just made it not worth it anymore. Now, I keep it below 20+ and I’ll just take the ticket if I get busted. Fun times though. Goddamn fun times.
J J Believe me, I wasn’t planning on stopping, but the Highway patrol was right on my ass. Figured I’d better take the ticket rather than having to outrun the radio
At that point you don't stop 🤣🤣🤣
@@80PercentAshamedOfU why run away? Police will check your req and then they will come to your house and arrest you
@@jounaas Not condoning running, but in my experience, if you’re far enough ahead, they usually can’t read your tags. They also can’t prove you even knew they were trying to stop you. They WILL however slap your ass with Reckless charge and any other infraction they witnessed. Either way, they can’t prove YOU were driving the car when they show up to your house. Honestly, you’re not even obligated to answer your door for questioning.
Still not worth it though. Even a Hellcat can get stuck in unpredictable traffic.
Did the same thing you did during a snowstorm one time, ie pulling off to a safe place for us both to be 100-150 meters up the road going maybe 30-40km/h. They pulled guns on me once i pulled over because they thought i was evading.....in a base model subaru....in a snowstorm.....in a small town....with my license plate clearly visible. To say they were bored is an understatement. No ticket as well which is nice, but bullshit to pull guns for something so silly.
IDK but i have a nervous breakdown if i had to drive something that nice in the woods especially at pitch black night!
Aw no way it’s a blast! Just exhaust echoing off the trees
@@TedwardDrives Man, what a feeling!
I was told to never pull over on a bridge, i think its even a law if im not mistaken. Good move from you there
Did not know that but glad my instincts were on the right side of the law
“ I’m a night owl I have to be up at 9” lmao
I'm jelly. One of my favorite Porsche's of all time
I got pulled over for speeding once. The speedometer only showed that the speed was 5 mph above the speed limit, and the cop said I was going 15 above. Unfair.
Have a dashcam, fight it in court. Then sur the city for the time you lost and money you lost.
@@tomjoad1363 The punishment is the process.
I sometimes use my hazards to indicate I understand they're behind me and they know I am finding a cleaner spot.
5:56 Your high beam was still on
Whoops!
Hi there! Just a suggestion. Try installing led bulbs in the Porsche. I’m currently using the Hikari, and it’s working great in my 00 solars. It be nice if we the viewers can see the road pretty well and the dash as you rev.
Cheers!
What a beauty this 911 😱😱😱😱😱🥰🥰🥰🥰
Thank you!
Blackbird ♥
"You never know what's around a corner"
Famous last words lol!
Jeezus, I thought the lights on my Alfa were bad. You running candles?! Lol 😂
Just want to say I appreciate you for taking off the high beams for oncoming traffic.Thats all that Boston traffic does especially on rainy days.Its annoying
Night drives I agree driving at night in that temperature maybe even in the summer on a cool night really late is so great
Honestly this is why in the states it sometimes helps to have a good radar detector. I remember some time back you had a valentine in your e92. Was it beeping relentlessly?
Currently its sitting the glovebox of the M5...had it been in the 911, I'd have known what was beyond the curve. Damn.
@@TedwardDrives I feel naked driving without my Escort360. Have mounts & cords for both cars. It's a must IMO. Especially at night. From the video, it didn't seem like you were going that fast. Probably sounded a lot faster than it was.
Nice drive and good tips I wouldn't have expect him sitting there
I've had a cop behind me with his lights on, I had just gotten my intermediate and was doing really good with driving. Went about 65 around some curves, feeling the body roll and getting myself used to driving a classic car at higher speeds when this guy came around the curve behind me lights on and siren blaring. The sucky part is that there was nowhere to pull off. Thankfully I edged over to show that I was looking for a place to pull off and he went around me. This car is too old for hazard lights to be standard or else I'd have used them.
Ever since I got done doing double the limit in a 100km/h zone at night I haven't run plates for night runs
What part of MA are you in? Fellow MA resident here! Cops can be well....fun here sometimes lol.
My dream car. Love it.
Love these Porsche/life updates. Unfortunate that you got pulled over :/
Man coming back to this video is always hilarious, I can't believe how much driving I've done since after this previous summer
Edit 5/31/21 I already have my license as of 5/18/21, still a great video.
Responded to a call one night out in the boonies next town over. Very woodsy flat land. So these guys had a race car for drag strips. Old foxbody mustang. Beautiful car too, from what I could see. They used to test run it just outside the main town on a nice flat stretch of road. You could tell they did it there many times because, on google maps, you could actually see the spot where they'd floored it from EVERY SINGLE TIME. Well, on this night, lady was coming the other way at about 70mph while they were setting up. One inside the vehicle, 4 standing around outside the vehicle on the road getting ready to run it. Lady didn't see them until it was too late. Showed up to 3 very dead individuals and one walking around with some relatively minor scrapes and a nice puncture with no blood. Idk how that one guy survived, but the others were VERY dead. I love running cars, but that image sticks with me. The one guy who wasn't immediately visibly dead we started cpr on and realized it was just jello, and definitely not going to help him.
But that incident is a firm reminder in my mind to always leave a little left in the tank to make sure you can move out of the way of who the hell knows what will come. But these backroads you're driving, while more hilly, very much remind me of that.
Lol, I always thought the shift light is so funny!!
haha so annoying but I barely notice it
3:34 lol, my SAAB 900 has the same shift light, I find it kinda funny cause its so 80s
Peak technology 😂
yes same with my 87 944s, i don’t think i’ve ever used it though that car is gutless until 4000 rpms
All you need.
That is a beautiful vehicle. I'm jealous.
Speaking of headlights, your high beams seem like they were way off when you made this. Looks like they point way to the left.
Beautiful Car
Lovely Night Cruiser
Love your car Tedward the first time I saw your car I was hook !
Thanks Carolyn! Great to hear from you
These night time drives are therapeutic
Awesome video and car man!
Thank you!
Such a stunning car...
Thanks!
it didn’t even look like you were speeding for that road
And youd be correct!
"Be good!" 🙂
Just a verbal warning he gave you Tedward?
Yessir. Very VERY appreciative of that.
Did you ask for it?
Looks like you are in MA? Any favorite driving roads? I am near to Lexington MA and always on the lookout for some fun backroads to explore. Love that night time summer smell too!
Heading further north towards New Hampshire are the better roads. Don't really know many winding roads that are drivable unless you go there or very Western Massachusetts.
I'm up for corrections if anyone has them.
No railroad crossings like that in Lexington. I think it was grafton mendon or upton
@@grownsimba8120 some fantastic driving roads in Lincoln, concord, Carlisle, Wilmington, and North Andover. Check out ash st in North Andover. Twistiest road inside of 495
And chestnut st Wilmington
I know the feeling
You don't have to thanks them for being respectful. They have to be.
It’s at 12:20 btw
You wash your cars...ever? Love it
haha sometimes! I only do it when i know I can dry them properly without direct sunlight which uhh...is rare
Agreeed..wash properly or not at all
man imagine being a cop pulling over his gen of 911 at night and not having a conversation about the car
Listen to that sewing machine purr with German engineered precision....
at the start of the video when the video cut to the intro I thought it was you getting out of the car to go up to the cop
I've only been pulled over once on the turnpike. Very dangerous naturally. So my first inclination was to put my turn signal on to let him know I was going to pull over, I'm just trying to find a decent spot.
But also having fire plates and being a firefighter, they kinda know you're lookin out for them. First thing he asked was where I worked.
Oh man this porsche looks so nice
That siren was 1000% unnecessary 😂
Been there a few times. I had a 914-6, my first new car after High School. two summers later I lost it in an accident, I hit a patch of sand during a night drive and slid into a tree. I wasn't injured but the car was totaled. I couldn't find another 6 cylinder at the time. and then they stopped making them.
Man that is one clean ass car
I had that happen many years ago, cop drove fast to "catch me" though i wasnt driving that far over the posted limit. Either way you go through the motions etc, after he gives you his piece of mind aka "where's the fire" all the cliches he wasnt running radar but visually paced me. You, Pay or fight the ticket... then about 3 months later. A minivan behind me, tailgating me, me doing 2-3 over the limit, nothing crazy, I see a cop with flashing lights behind him, i'm leading the pack. we both pull over, the cop behind the min van. "you in front of the minivan youre ok, move on" OHHH did i drive 2mph under the limit allllll the way home. where I pulled over was 10ft from where I pulled 3 months earlier. I changed my route after that
Have you thought of doing the led light upgrade for your gauges? Looks to be pretty easy.
Was hoping to hear the dialog with the cop lol.. looks like the Mendon/Milford area?
You own 1 of my all time favorite cars. I hade a model of your car when I was a kid. I wish I still had it. I wish I had a real one too!! LoL!!!
wow I've never been pulled over from rear radar, It looked like you were going 40 mph max in what I can assume is a 35. I guess my point is it looked like you were going really slow, any chance you'll share your speed vs the posted speed limit?
I will say this car masks speed on camera. I won’t say the speed. But it was a bit more than 40 😂
@@TedwardDrives Lol I've been there, first time I got pulled over at 16 I was doing over 70 in a 35 through a yellow light, got pulled over and was freaking out to my friend next to me. Cop asks for my license I was so scared I handed him my credit card and once I finally got him all the right credentials he let me off with a warning.. that was the day I cooled down because I could've very well lost my license. The experience made me a lot smarter but also I think I realized my luck had probably reached its limit.
Aw man, sucks to be in this situation. You should've pulled a hard right at Saratoga.
All because you've opened the sunroof and pointed that air at you.
I'm pretty sure I was below 10 above the speed limit
I would invest in better headlights. I just bought retrofit led projectors for my 4runner and its a game changer .
Blackbird 😍
I need to get a go-pro at some point. I got a hero 3 way back in the day, but it's sat around a long time and become basically worthless. But new gropros are like $500, and I find it hard to just drop that kind of money on something I really don't need right now... Plus there's other things demanding my spending. My 2 external drives are both above 40k hours now, and they've been going for a long time. They need to be replaced. Plus I need an internal 16tb drive on my server. It sucks having a ton of hobbies.
Lol... those high beams were warning you about the cop.
Man your headlights are horable, I'm not sure if its from the recording or the car just has bad lights. In some places was not able to see the road at all in your video. I had to drive a car with weak headlights for a while and night drive out of the city was a no go for me.
Hi, what year is his Porsche from? I’m new to the Porsche scene, and I’ve always found these models to be the best looking. I think it’s the 964 (1994), but am not sure...
This is such a beautiful driving area, where is this?
That was extremely bad luck. Warning or ticket? Also, your headlights seem very weak. Have you considered upgrading them?
Thankfully warning. I think the camera makes them look worse but the low beam setting isn’t great. High beams do a pretty good job but certainly not modern standards 😂
@@TedwardDrives Hurrah! Understood, they can be upgraded if desired, and with great results. Enjoy your car.
