I liken it to when I have driven after just having picked up some illicit substance. Drive normally and get off the streets
I've done that a zillion times. Hell, I've done that while shitfaced.
A dead body in the trunk is a whole new level.
I dunno if I could pull it off. I can race on the edge, with my bumper 6" from your bumper when you hit the brakes to hit the corner's apex. I can do that while someone tries to cut up the inside - and be fully aware of everything around me.
I dunno if I could do that with a dead body in the trunk. Which is to say, I could probably be fine driving down main street, but imagine if a cop pulled in behind you. Do you keep driving and look for a turn where you can use your directional signals and safely get away from the cop without him noticing?
I really dunno...
LOL This was a hypothetical that we discussed over the holidays. So, I've been meaning to ask for a while.
If a cop gets behind me, I feel like turning right away may arouse their suspicion
Right, that's why I said you keep driving and look for a turn. "Do you keep driving and look for a turn ..."
Turning as soon as they pull up behind you is gonna get 'em to follow you. You might have to maintain for a while and then find a turn that looks good - like pulling into a gas station or a shopping center.
