Not sure what kinda 17 yr olds you know. I'm 18 so I think that's close enough, and neither I nor my friends would urge the other one to continue a high speed chase for that long. Now if I'm with a friend, and there is little traffic and his CAR is a real quick un and it's just one cop,, well if he wants to run, then I'm not gonna stop him unless somehow that cop manages to stay behind us/my friend is stupid enough to stay on the highway. No way though would I let the chase continue for that long, and definitely not in a SUV. Though I'm not a real big guy so many people would be able to stop me from stopping them. And most/if not all of my friends are actually more smarter ( ) about these things than me, and would freak out if there was even a 5 sec chase.
