    Wow, that is amazing how he could run off the highway.
    My truck only runs 62 MPH and I get in the left lane for cops, but I get passed on the right almost every time.

    wow,seems hard to imagine that a person could recover from a hit like that.flipped him over totally...you'd be surprised how many people do not get over and get distracted when a cop pulls someone over.....then there are the ones that can't help but slow down almost to a stop and eyeball the scene,which is IMO more dangerous than not getting over!!I have,and sure you more exp truckers have seen folks come almost to a stop when it's just someone tryin to change a flat etc......just driving defensive is half the job!!!:Cars::Road:

    Many times I have moved into the left lane only to have someone behind me go into the right lane just because they can't wait a minute for me to pass the trooper and get back over. Pure disrespect.

    Most people will wait, but there's always those few....

    That almost happened to me once.

    I had a female pulled over for speeding. I was at her window asking for her signature on the citation. I heard a car hit the rumble strip and I dove through the car window and on top of the lady driver just as a car took out her mirror.

    I tore up her ticket . . . apologized for diving through her window and landing on top of her, drove to the local truck stop and smoked a few cigarettes to calm myself down.

    It was scary
