Default Which one of you guys almost hit a police cruiser today like a moron?

I was behind three vehicles including a disco one from Vermont and noted a dump truck in front of him. Needless to say when we heard the sirens we pulled over. The idiot in the land rover decided to pull out in front of the dump truck to get ahead of him so he could be faster to the lights. Needless to say the cop in the chevy Suv missed him by ten feet as he drove around the parked dump truck. Lucky bastard almost cost the life of himself and the police officer and whomever he was responding to.

geez, how hard is it to pull over for emergency vehicles?

The installation of warpaint can be very time consuming and distracting.

I recall doing that while staring at some (*)(*) while driving down the street near my old house. Those things are a distraction to drivers that can see EVERYTHING around them...
