There seems to be an uptick in Political comments in recent months. Those of us who are long time members of the site know that Political and Religious content has been banned for years. Nothing has changed. Please leave all political and religious comments out of the forums.
If you recently joined the forums you were not presented with this restriction in the terms of service. This was due to a conversion error when we went from vBulletin to Xenforo. We have updated our terms of service to reflect these corrections.
Please note any post refering to a politician will be considered political even if it is intended to be humor. Our experience is these topics have a way of dividing the forums and causing deep resentment among members. It is a poison to the community. We appreciate compliance with the rules.

oh my...at first i was thinkin..this reminds me...then i read the story....man..never had that happen....lol....not funny but...wow...
what happened to me was..i was driving a 1953 american La France fire engine with a detroit desiel in it..it was loud and made a super cool rapping sound when you down shifted or went down a hill as the engine retared...lol....anyway...was responding code three,,lights (a single round wigwag on the roof)with 2 solid red lights on the cab front,and siren with a 12 inch brass bell for the intersections....
pulled up to an intersection,,,siren went from wail to hi-low and capt was ringing the bell and an 85 year old woman just slammed on her brakes in front of me and i hit her sqaure in the rear at about 20 miles an hour...may not seem a high speed but that HUGE steel n chrome bumper was sittin in the back seat of that lil nash rambler.....
Luckily I've never had that happen to me in the truck I drive...YET!!!!!!!!!
But I have had some people do that when in my POV...........which has lights an siren also. Luckily, sofar I've always had time to stop.
lol..thats just funny....what an idiot.....:ernae:Been there, done that, got the t-shirt...
The best one to happen to me was I was running code on an emergency transfer to another hospital (trauma center) 60 miles door to door.
I'm on the interstate, in the ambulance doing about 85 mph (speed limit is 65. In VT we can bust that) Red Lights on, I'm in the passing lane...
And this idiot actually passes me... on the right... In front of a state trooper who was sitting in the crossover running radar...
I could see the grin on the troopers face as I went by. Guy never saw the cop... until he got pulled over...
Got a call from the trooper later in the shift. Said he wrote the guy for the whole boat. Speeding, passing an emergency vehicle, failure to yield to an emergency vehicle...
In VT, you get suspended when you hit 10 points on your license. That guy had over a grand in fines and 12 points on that one stop.
It was a good day
