I've crossed a fair number of borders in my 33 years, and I've yet to encounter one (outside the EU, anyway) where a driver could possibly even consider not stopping without triggering a police chase..
I can see why it may happen around these parts however only for the locals. My first road crossing into Brasil was with a group of Argentines in a mini bus on a package tour to the falls. When we arrived at the border crossing I was told to keep quiet. Our guide had a quick chat with the official and we were waved through straight away without any ID/Passport checks. Seemingly, had I proclaimed my nationality we would have had to pull over and may have been delayed.
