Goober W asked:
Before getting on the offensive about this question, let me explain. The reason I ask this is because I OFTEN see Law enforcement disregard traffic laws that I am to follow. For example, just this morning, a cop passed a truck in a no passing zone coming towards me. He/she was going at least 50 in a 35. There was nothing flashing, wailing, or blinking to indicate that he/she had an emergency. I have witnessed this numerous times by State and City police officers. I have actually had cops tail gate me and then pass me in frustration while I was doing the speed limit. You want me to get over? Then turn on your lights! You want me to get out of your way? Then turn on your lights! If I am to follow the traffic laws, then the law enforcement that enforces the law should follow them too. Wearing the uniform does not give police license to break the law; or does it? Set an example for us and stop violating the laws that we are to follow.
Sarge - you may be right…lol I would prefer they not annoy me when my family is my pov with me, because I have actually been forced into some dangerous situations due to the negligence of a speeding cruiser. Once again, turn on the lights and I will GLADLY get off the road!
