Got spanked by a .......

[tractorface]

So I'm comin home late last night, windows up AC on two lane road, mindin my own bussiness, when this car flys up on my bumper. I mean really close, so I can barely see the thing anymore, He pulls out like little E breakin the draft at Daytona and trys to make the pass. So with David Alan Coe urging me on (You wanna race, name the place, and I'll show you where its at %$#$% $%^%^$) I wake up the old Cummins and quickly halt his passing progress and with the front of his vehicle quickly comin back into my mirror I start smilin a little victory smile. Not so fast, this guys not done yet, he goes for his secret weapon... ... little flashing blue lights, they really slow the old Cummins down. Like Kryptonite. Anyway I got that queasy I think I'm gonna be sick feelin in my stomach (and I ain't had no beer yet), and this guys shoots on by and disappears into the night.

Yee HAA.

The rest of my ride was very uneventful

If he was going to come up on you like that without any warning(flashing lights) or a tap of the air horn button to let you know he needed by then that was his mistake, has happened to me, they get that unhappy feeling when they decide to tailgate for no reason and the brakes get locked up on my truck because their tailgating, which i have no problem doing.

He should have let you have known ahead of time he was smokey so you could have gotten off to the side and let him by. But this is just my opinion.

I agree

Hey I agree Wyattearp. Don't get me wrong I am cool with it and always try and cooperate with the police. Had he let me know I would have pulled right over. I just wish I had big injectors so I could have left him in a cloud. I just hope he got where he was goin on time

The frosting on the doughnut was cooling off and he had to get there before it got cold!

No Cameras

It would have been really cool if we could have been on an episode of Cops. If I see the cameras I'm gonna struggle and say all sorts of stupid things. I gotta start carryin a wife beater T-shirt in the truck... ... . just in case.

Wonder how he'd explain to his sgt that he rear ended a 8000# truck for absolutely no reason at all... . rookies!

Was he a real cop and not a fake? blue lights are cheap.

Lol,



I did just about the same thing once. I was riding home from work with a co-worker in the truck. This crown vic (which I was SURE was not a police car) is riding my tail. I go to get out of his way, and at the same time he swerves over to go around me. Well seeing him do that in the mirror, i fall back into the HOV lane. He didn't make the pass because of a car in the lane he ended up in. (at this point i'm really starting to get irritated with his driving) So he comes back into the HOV behind me and gets on my tail again. I get over as soon as the fast lane clears, and he lays into the gas... So i did too. I was walking right away from him when the blue lights came on. Somehow the turbo barked when i saw those. I was sick. Lucky for me he just gave me a mean look and flashed his badge when he went by with his lights on.



I smiled the rest of the way home.



Later,

Chris

That's my thinking or a EMT or Volunteer fireman goofing on you. Around here doing that ,racing a cop,will cause the Blue Lights to remain in the RearView.

I thought cops were always blue and red, and just blue was fire fighter or volunteer fireman?

 

[tractorface]

Cmon I am not stupid

Hey listen guys My CTD is good for somethin besides leg shots When the guy went by I looked down into the car... ... ... . if he wasn't a real cop he sure went to a lot of trouble to equip his car like he was one



Anyway, He must have been goinig to a call and did not want to mess with me.

Actually he was as wrong as I was.

Red is what we use on our Dept, the cops seem to use whatever color looks nice on their donut haulers
