You are correct, sir.
The scene . . Late at night, an unlit secondary road, my truck with 4 ways flashing and two state units all red white and blue . . it looked like a lot more than it was . .
Cop 1 had gone back to the intersection to stop traffic there, I was just finishing up with Cop 2 and as she walked back to her car, I noticed the swing in her hip and twinkle in her eye . . (whoa! . . almost slipped into trucker vision), then some guy comes running out of his house to tell me to just go through it and that big trucks do it all the time. I was tempted . .
. . but the Cops had been nice . . never questioned me about any conceivable wrong doing . . so I let them back me out so I could follow their route over an under rated bridge, instead!
