Can you imagine yourself driving down the highway about 3 in the afternoon, beautiful day not a cloud in the sky about 80 degrees or so. Not really paying much attention to anything in particular you are just driving and taking it all in - then you happen to check your mirrors & realize that you are being tailed by a truck with RED FLASHING LIGHTS!!! What as smart, rational & educated person do you do?? Well normal people (which you are in - I am sure of it) slow down, pull over as far you can til the truck with the red flashing lights gets around you.
But alas there are always those people, them ones - you know that are freakin' oblivious to all that is around them while they are driving.
Today I was paged out to a grass fire about 40 miles away and while enroute we encountered many polite folks that would yeild to the big Red Fire Truck, but then I was fortunate enough to work on my people skills and encountered THOSE PEOPLE. In my 40 mile drive I encountered about 5 vehicles that refused to pull over. Man they make getting to a fire a real nightmare. I finally managed to get by them and as I go by they all look at me with that Mouth agap bubbly eyed look - you know deer in the headlight kind of thing.
STUPID KILLS JUST NOT ENOUGH!!!!
