Well, I went and viewed another article on it that said the trooper had been doing the maneuver for a mile. If that’s the case then there might be more of an issue. Or he could have been swatting at a bee, LOL.

actually, i have seen that here in my part of the country up here in the north east.
coulda been a bad accident up ahead, or emergency road repairs, and the state troopers will do that to slow you down, and eventually get the traffic to come to a stop......seems to make sense, you see a cop car with flashing lights, criss crossing the highway, you SLOW DOWN.
they will do this if only one or 2 cop cars are available at the time.
we have actually had rolling road blocks all lanes occupied by cop cars.......try and get around all of them.....
look at the back of nearly EVERY fire truck.......signs on the back of the trucks say to "stay back 500 feet".....
it would have been prudent for the trucker to slow down and stay as far back as possible.
i do not see that driver getting out of this ticket, or any other troubles he might face.Lepton1, InTooDeep, Dave_in_AZ and 1 other person Thank this. -
Driver maintained foot on the gas when seeing lights? I am guessing he doesnt know about "round robin" manuever. Yup truckers fault. He should have got off the throttle when he saw the lights.

Dont no long you have had a drivers license. I've seen cops do that as back as 1972.
I am not a lover of law enforcement. I'm the guy who is usually saying "f" the police. But when you see a cop car with lights flashing. You slow down, when you see a cop or anybody weaving across the lane. You get out the way. Watch the video again, if that was a drunk in a Toyota Camry. Would you have stayed in the lane as it was coming toward you? Sorry if your not a left coast person. But I've seen that maneuver on the right coast also.Lepton1, kemosabi49, InTooDeep and 1 other person Thank this. -
Have any of you actually passed a leo with his lights and siren on?
Especially when it's clear something is going on.
That driver is a tard.Snailexpress, lovesthedrive and InTooDeep Thank this. -
If he'd had a BIG radio, he'd known 25 miles in advance of the situation.Snailexpress, Lepton1, lovesthedrive and 1 other person Thank this.

had one since 1976. And YOU watch the video again. The cop hit him from the side. If I had been driving I would have assumed that the cop was going to take the exit ramp, not swing back into traffic and hit me.bigheart1216, DenBob and Bud A. Thank this.

The only radio, and I mean only radio, that can broadcast 25 miles is mine, even when not hooked up.stwik, Feedman, PoleCrusher and 1 other person Thank this.

I'm not talking about when he has someone pulled over, or is in the act of pulling someone over, slowing to 10 mph.
That dude's a dork.
I'm sure he will do well at a local home improvement center.Snailexpress and lovesthedrive Thank this.
