Well, I have discovered that I am not committed to daily post on my blog. I will just keep working to make this my goal. I am trying to learn as much technology as I can acquire. I feel that utilizing this blog will also help me with learning other forms of technology.
Touring in a radio car can be very interesting. Once you learn you job, you have the opportunity to provide assistance and hopefully teach some people some skills or at least relieve their pain when something bad happens. Although there are sometimes when you just have to laugh.
The first radio call was to back an officer on a jackknifed semi. I was taught when I received my training for my commercial chauffeurs license, that if you truck is empty, you should drive slower and safer. I guess this guy did not get the same training. An empty tractor trailer, heading for the military depot to haul explosives. This guy just jackknifed a semi and he is hired to haul explosives! OMG, lets all get off the road, while he is driving. The photos can be seen on Channel six (KOTV.com).
So I guess I will move with a few safety tips. When it rains, and the roads are wet, you should slow down 5 to 10 miles per hour on your daily travels. It is better to arrive alive, that never make it to your destination. You also need to keep two (2) car lengths between you and the person in front of you. If you on the highway, you should keep three (3) car lengths between.
Another safety suggestion, look ahead while you drive. Scan the roadway, close to your car and several hundred yards to a mile ahead. This will allow you enough notice to move over when someone driving a junk car on the road has a flat. While they are changing the tire, they just might occupy the lane. So avoid a collision, MOVE OVER!
