Distracted driving defined

That would depend.......Were you distracted.......... Or are you dead......

 

Ya know some good thinking is a good distraction...

 

If you are legal and not totally leaving your lane etc making it obvious then you probably don't have much to worry about.

 

Until you get stopped because of the fact that you are following all the laws and that makes you "suspicious"!
"… you came to a complete stop at the stop sign, you traveling just below the speed limit, you have you seatbelt on … you obviously have something to hide, do you mind if I take a look inside your car?"

 

I volunteer for that study....

 

are you referring to profiling or something?

 

Usually when I hear people talk about profiling it has racial connotations, that was not the case. The officer's opinion seemed to be that I was driving too well and that was suspicious. I let him know in no uncertain terms I was not happy about being wrongfully detained.

 

This sounds suspiciously like horse pucky to me, but if in fact, it really did happen, I hope you notified his agency, in writing, and whatever local news media there happens to be in that area.

 

"Trucker Whines About Getting Pulled Over - coming up on News @ 10!"

 

I was not driving a truck, I was driving our family car. I did have a meeting with our police chief after he reviewed the audio and video from my traffic stop. The meeting was very positive, "constructive criticism".
I wanted to discuss my experience after living in the community for more than 20 years. Because I was very satisfied with the response I received I was more than willing for this to be a "learning experience" rather than a blemish on the young officer's record.
