doubt he got his plates...judging by the scenerio it seems as though this police officer was never within reading distance.

I sort of did that same thing about 2 years back in my a6..I was going about 20 mph over the limit on a busy road, cop drove by the other way and i just stepped on it...he whipped a U-turn but I was way down the st. by then...i made a left turn and backtracked my steps and went the opposite direction I was originally going...granted it took some time out of my day it was worth not getting the ticket.
