Almost 80 percent of crashes and 65 percent of near-crashes happen within three seconds of some form of driver distraction, according to the report by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration and the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute."<BR/><BR/>No mention of those who spill and then clean their car while driving, though...Dan Trabuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303597141397042669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1145552274672948392006-04-20T12:57:00.000-04:002006-04-20T12:57:00.000-04:00You're lucky that it was the Game Warden and not t...You're lucky that it was the Game Warden and not the Police Officers who were following you. Certainly in the UK reaching under seats to find napkins would be classed as driving without due care and attention and would probably get you a fine if you were seen by the police. I expect there's some similar laws in the US.

OR, it could be that you were swerving a bit because of your spill (when the proper action would be to pull over) and the officer noticed it and rightly assumed your driving might be impaired.<BR/><BR/>If it HAD been a drunk swerving on the road and the officer had decided not to stop them and they went on to kill someone with their two-ton bomb on wheels, we'd all be pretty pissed at a certain officer.<BR/><BR/>I'm with ER. It's a difficult job to be an officer of any sort and we should support them when they're only doing their job.<BR/><BR/>Now, if you had done absolutely nothing wrong and you were pulled over, then I'd be more likely to side with you. But you admit to swerving - even off the road a bit - so cut the guy some slack.Dan Trabuehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14303597141397042669noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1145499817636410172006-04-19T22:23:00.000-04:002006-04-19T22:23:00.000-04:00Arg.

Theyt usually, as in this case, defer to local police departments.<BR/><BR/>You made a few common-sense mistakes. The best thing to do when you're stopped by a cop is .. NOTHING, until you're asked. Then, do exactly as you're asked, being as coutesous as can be.<BR/><BR/>Cops are the front line of the executive branch of all three levels of government: Federalm in that your constitutional rughts are in their hands; state, in that they are upholding states laws; and local, in that they are upholding local ordinances.<BR/><BR/>Because o the proliferation of "COPS" shows and other such crap on TV, many cops think like the jackbooted jerks they act like.<BR/><BR/>And the best thing to do is, as Clayton Williams, Texas oil man and Republican gubernatorial candidate (against Ann Richards), said of an inevitable rape, "Lay back and enjoy it."<BR/><BR/>Otherwise, you might get shot or feel the full force of all three branches of government unloaded on your unsuspecting heiny.<BR/><BR/>(Valytie Williams, BTW, lost the lection the day the words he said hit the press, as he should have.)<BR/><BR/>Oh, and it always surprises me when supposed law-and-order types complain about things like this. :-)Erudite Redneckhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04830721195868387265noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1145484490439173172006-04-19T18:08:00.000-04:002006-04-19T18:08:00.000-04:00We classify CO's with jail guards and the Border P...We classify CO's with jail guards and the Border Patrol--neanderthalic cretins...Trader Rickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16079028073096259737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1145483813431632412006-04-19T17:56:00.000-04:002006-04-19T17:56:00.000-04:00If you had been a fish, would that mean you would ...If you had been a fish, would that mean you would have been on the hook?<BR/><BR/>I know, bad joke, brain hurt...Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12598533152052996735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1145470747740345082006-04-19T14:19:00.000-04:002006-04-19T14:19:00.000-04:00etchen funny you should mention that.. there is a ...etchen funny you should mention that.. there is a house in Lititz that has a sign in front that says, no more puppy mills.Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15633208787250567256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12507451.post-1145470579330668142006-04-19T14:16:00.000-04:002006-04-19T14:16:00.000-04:00Oh God, I swear if i don't learn to use spell chec...Oh God, I swear if i don't learn to use spell check, I'm just going to make an ass out of myself on a continual daily basis.
