welcome. no not everyone has been down that road before.. i would only evade the police if i had a fast car. I got pulled over 4 times w/ a suspended license and didn't get in trouble. i played the stupid roll of "i didn't know it was officer, i normally got a letter/call from my insurance about it". 2 other times i was a lil intoxicated well let me restate that, i was buzzed but my my passengers were intoxicated. i passed the light test both times w/ flying colors. one cop actually asked me if i had a fake eye. another time a cop asked if i was mma fight or trained.
other than that. glad you are ok and nothing serious happened.
good luck and be safe out there.
