    Men nabbed after playing 'chicken' with police car

    BETHANY, Okla. (AP) -- Three Oklahoma City men were arrested after playing "chicken" with a police car. Police said a 23-year-old man drove his car at the oncoming patrol car driven by Capt. J.D. Reid and didn't move until Reid swerved out of the way. Reid then chased the car until it crashed. The driver was found inside the car, another 22-year-old man was found lying outside the vehicle and a third man was found hiding behind a traffic sign.
    Two of the men were hospitalized and the third was treated and taken to the Oklahoma County jail where he's being held without bond.
    Police say the driver apparently decided on a whim to play chicken car and didn't realize the car was a police car.

    "I've got nothing better to do tonight, let's play chicken with a cop!" Brain cells optional on this one!

    Let's just hope they just stick with 4-wheelers....
    I don't need some dumb a-z-zes playing chicken with my rig.
    You can be sure the morons' parents would find an "Ambulance Chaser" to sue me.

    I had a car in Mo driving on the wrong side of the interstate heading towards me..(late at night like 3am) A car on the other side of the interstate was flashing their light so I was looking over their at them, the road also was in a right hand turn so it made it hard to tell the car was on the wrong side, almost hit the sucker...

    Don't know if I would play chicken with anyone now days. So many people on drugs that they probably don't even know that they are doing it.
