When I saw him pull onto the swale in my rear view mirror to chase me, I just shook my head in admiration and pulled over. Well played.
I got one of those years ago too, on my way back from Orlando, also with a radar detector (pre-Waze days). He was driving in the opposite direction and made a U-Turn through the grass median. Gut instinct for .01 second was “flee” but fortunately I was already old enough for common sense to prevail and pull over.
