One year at Christmas, a friend and I were returning from Tyler, TX and her doctor appointment. We had this crazy idiot behind us and I saw everyone pulling over so he could have the road, then we were in a construction zone and bumper to bumper traffic. We were stopped, so I pulled out the cell (before GPS, smart phone, etc. it just made phone calls, no text.) and was able to get his license nr and vehicle description to 911.
We were near one county, getting ready to pass to another, so the dispatcher had a trooper from both counties. The drunk driver was winding back and forth and we were almost wondering if they were going to use the orange barrels as an obstical course. As it was, both troopers saw his driving and arrested him. As we drove by, evidently the dispatcher told him what I was driving because he waved to us. I thought he wanted me to pull over, but we heard him yell thanks thru the window. It was one of our Christmases that you could wear shorts still.
Anytime we can get these guys off the road, means we can be a little safer.
I remember seeing the paper last week, some one was on his 55th ticket for dwi. By then he should be under the jail forever.
