About 14 years ago I left a bar with my gf (future wife) on the night before TGiving and took a right at a red light that apparently had a no turn on right sign I didn’t see. Got lit up immediately. I had just sparked a fatty. Thought I was dead meat. The cop asked me if I saw that no turn sign. I told him I didn’t and he says “drive safe” and that was it.

To this day I’m positive he let me go because when I get pulled over I immediately roll all my windows down and put my hands on the wheel w my palms open.

He cut me a huge break. Make a cop feel comfortable approaching your car and it might work in your favor.

I've done maybe 4 roadside sobriety tests in my life.

they are not fun.

Eh, I keep my hands on the wheel, and tell them where and why I reach for something, as well as have my wallet out of my pockets before they approach.


Never got a warning.

I never think about keeping my hands on the wheel when I get pulled over...

Part of the reason I do it is because I drive around in a murdered out truck. Limo tint all the way around and only slightly less dark on my windshield. So to a cop, I could be concealing anything. He can’t see what I’m doing until I roll the windows down. I could have anything in my hands. So I show that I do not.

Whatever precautions you can take to put a cop w a gun approaching you at ease - do it.
 
might get sushi tonight...that would make for a good dinner...

What did you get a transplant for, Rob?
 
Morning all.

I'm on a panel for upcoming training session. I have about 15 minutes of responsibility for 2 hour training session.

Ran to store yesterday to buy injection for turkey breast I'm making Thursday. Few blocks from my house noticed a guy laying on sidewalk having a seizure. I pulled over and got out of my car to check on him and call 911. Another lady stopped her car in middle of road and ran over to check on him (at least pull over lady). As I'm on phone with 911, a few people are you calling 911 and I'm try to talk to 911 operator and assure crowd, I am in fact on the phone with 911. More people join to "help", thankfully one was a nurse to keep group calm. I'm trying to give 911 location, I realized when i got home I said I was east of street, when I was in fact west of that street i referenced (I was one block east of the main highway and that is what I was thinking, I was calm, but cut me slack). 911 transferred me to paramedic, he's giving me instructions (don't hold him down, don't do CPR, etc). Paramedic on phone, why aren't you relaying those instructions? Uh, they're already doing this things. He acknowledges I'm a passerby and I am assuming protocol, but starts asking me the guys medical history. Crowd is now looking at me as I'm, uhh maybe in his 50's, unknown, unknown, unknown, etc.

Paramedics and police finally arrive. At this point my job is done, but I stood around and watched them load up in ambulance. The first lady on scene was pretty shaken up by what she witnessed. I'm pretty sure guy was homeless, so hopefully got a warm bed and nice meal out of it for a bit.

Never done 1.

Don't drive if you're going to drink is the moral of the story. Get a designated driver or take a Uber.

So you gave incorrect address information, wasn't relaying information from the paramedic and didn't give them helpful information about the dude.



...thank you for your service.

Damn. Not sure why but I had you pegged for a youngster....glad to hear you got what you needed.

Considering being a donor. Why not donate what I don't need when I'm gone? Seems like a no-brainer, especially since I will be cremated most likely.

most of the times, I was not even drinking but the officer felt it was necessary to test me.
 
Did we lose Rocko/Lance?

Because I’m immature? Lol I do feel like age is just a number. I’m doing very well. My post heart docs told me this year I have the best kidney return numbers they’ve ever seen this far out. So I take pride in that. Take good care of myself.

Here is the story. Kind of heavy:
