And obviously not concerned about my wax job I just put on or paper work he would of created.
I don't call 911 anymore except for medical reasons. Twice now it has cost me money.
Why did calling 911 to report a hazardous situation on the interstate cost you money?
Neither time calling 911 was on interstate. But 2 times I had to spend money because of me calling 911. So, I only call for medical reason now.
Quick answer is our legal system.
Diving on a 2 lane road, speed limit was 50 MPH, oncoming car was stopped to make left in left hand turn lane, car behind them decided to pass them on the left, as they were making their left, and rear-ended them about 55MPH expert said. The impact almost shoved the rear-ended car into us and we almost got hit also. I called 911 and reported, almost a year later I get a served papers to appear in court. If you can believe this, Snohomish County in Washington state instructed me to call everyday during certain times and certain dates and if I didn't show to court I would be prosecuted for whatever they called not showing up to court.
How is an employer supposed to run a business without getting a replacement for me? Replacements have to be called 2 hours before shift. Not a user friendly system.
Long story short...I ended up missing 2 days of work and drove 30 miles one way, twice, that's 120 miles and four hours driving and 2 personal days counted against me (work wise) for a drunk driver in a full size pick up rear ending a Toyota full of a family coming back from the Grandparents house. In the end, turned out his lawyers were just postponing their drunk driver pleading guilty.
Don't know if anybody remembers but older Toyota's and the hatch back, the frame around window does not hold up well and penetrates into the back seat area, if enough force. If the baby was not in a baby seat, which puts babies in a higher position, more than sitting on the rear seat and just seat belted in, the baby might still be here.
