Is It Every Okay?

This afternoon, I was called to an injury traffic collision in the area of 7900 East 41st Street. While out there assisting the officer who was assigned the collision, I had a driver, drive over the double yellow lines in an attempt to make a left turn.

Now I have to ask, "Is it ever okay to violate the law, endanger yourself and others just to make a left turn?"

Now this individual apparently thought that it was a good decision to go around a police vehicle, with flashing lights. One of these lights were an arrow stick, the kind that signals go left, right or around. Well the light was on "to go right". However, this driver thought that ignoring the light was a good idea. Crossing the center line (that double yellow line), you know the one that indicates, NO PASSING! He went across those lines and began driving in the inside west bound lane.

This driver was actually shocked that I was not happy with him. He was also shocked that I found multiple violations with this vehicle. One of those violations was having a tag that expired in January of 2009.

I guess you could say, do something stupid in front of an officer, you may deserve many citations....Oh, and you car may be towed.
