You can't fix stupid

Just driving my Toyota sir. Accelerator was stuck.

Followed a DUI while working with early cell phone. Kept getting cut off. Had wife with video camera in hand. Followed subject into town where there was a festival going on. He managed to bump a truck while trying to park. The nice officer was handed the tape as I drove by after my U turn and told it was all on the 911 system too. Hated to give up that expensive $15 tape but some things are just worth it.

I just spent a week driving through 6 different states on vacation over the last 10 days. On each interstate there are signs posted from time to time that read TO REPORT IMPAIRED DRIVERS CALL 911 or something similar. Apparently several states think the idea of calling the police on reckless drivers like the Prevost idiot is a very good idea. Works for me.

I wouldn't bother calling. Tried to report an extreme DUI a while back with 911. Followed the guy 15mins while they transferred around, each one wanting the full replay.

Eventually, I said, "Forget it, he's parked now."

It seems public reports of other drivers ranks up there with a raccoon in a tree reports.

IMHO, you'd be better served by leaving the phone on the seat and watching the road and traffic very carefully for any unexpected "maneuvers"

Well my luck was much better, reported a impaired drive, the Ram has a Parrot! Drifting lane to lane, called 911, and reported with our location. Asked if we could stay with the car, driver was a real danger, so replied yes.
We were able to keep the dispatcher advised of our location, I have in all my years of driving been so happy to see the blue lights behind me.
The whole thing likely took no more than 5 to 10 minutes.

The best option that came with my used 01 RAM Parrot Bluetooth.

Dangerous driving should be reported imo..and that speed is way too fast for such huge bus.
It may not help if the police dont respond,
but then again it may save someone's life if they do..

In Ontario if you go 50 klicks over the limit its 2500$ fine and get your vehicle impounded immediately..

I believe none of what I hear & only half of what I see.

Just because you can buy it , does not mean you know what you are doing. We have a big lake not to far from us and people have ocean going boats on it. They have no idea how to navigate open water. It's get the h@ll out of my way attitude. A coach pulling a Beemer has money and wants you to know it. The speed limit does not mean anything to them and they will tell the cops that. That is the world we live in folks. Everyone wants to be rich , there you go. Get the H@LL out of my way. The best thing to do is watch your back and drive the way you feel safe. If you don't like it, go some where else.

Well he bought a BMW, can`t be that smart!

I too would make the call if I could.

But he drives a Prevost AND a Beemer, he's allowed to drive anyway he wants; just ask him.

More dangerous to call on your phone while driving! Talking on the phone is far more stupid than speeding.

Excessive speed killed 10,230 U.S. Americans in 2010. source

Anyone driving a rig of that size, and of that speed is an idiot ! No concern for the safety of his/her family or the other families on the roadway!
