My friend hits his flashers and dialed 911 told the dispatch he didnt recognize the type cop trying to pull him over and he was afraid to pull over (hijack the load)
within minutes he had 3 state troopers there pulling over the local cop. My buddy kept driving till he found a safe place to get off the road, The state troopers followed with the local cop who eventually apologized for trying to pull over a placarded load in traffic. My buddy is a little nuts but I think I would have kept driving too, some places are just not safe to stop...wonderman When I stopped to see if they were ok, the cop smiled at me and said I could go. But when he was talking to the folks in the 4-wheeler, his face was bright red, and the veins in his neck were sticking out. I'd like to have been a fly nearby and know what he had to say.

as much as we would like to lend a hand to making the roads safer for the boys in blue, understand that straddling the zipper is probably illegal. I do all i can to stay legal, and others are responsible for their own actions.
if i do something illegal to block someone else from doing something stupid, I am responsible for doing something illegal with my vehicle. |
