Everyday there is a wreck of some kind.
It’s a fact ! Soooo many more drivers than 10 years ago
Actually, numerous wrecks occur everyday in the County. Only a fraction make the news.
Hope their ok.Another wreck,wow this is getting ridiculous.Cell phone,or just mindless driving?not saying that happen here to be clear. I see people everyday talking on there phones,or texting. I even saw a police officer talking on his phone.guess that’s ok.idk.be safe
Actually, the cop on the phone is no better than you or I are!!! He should be setting an example modeling how NOT to use a phone while driving!!! As they keep telling us… PULL OVER TO USE THE PHONE!!!!! You should have written down the time of day & the vehicle license number & turned his ( I assume it was a male Deputy) in for a vehicle code violation!!! They certainly don’t hesitate when we, the general public get caught!!!
Radio, phone, sign languge, whatever. That’s how they do their job.
Silver, grey and white seems to be the new typical. Is this stranger than fiction or is it just coincidence?
Computerized cars will be the death of all us yet.
POLICE, FIRE, AND AMBULANCES AND OUR TAXI’S ARE EXEMPT FROM THE CELL PHONE LAW’S THEY NEED THEM TO DO THEIR JOBS. GLAD THIS PERSON IS OK!!
Southbound? Which way is southbound on an E-W road?
