Subject: RE: Thought of the day May 9
Last Saturday night on the way to a show I was in the middle of a three car pile-up on the freeway. The car in front of me stopped suddenly and two of us had to have a little "insurance seminar". I first made sure that everyone was OK. Within moments a pickup truck drove by and some yahoo yelled out the window "Get the hell off the road". We had barely had time to make sure that we were alright and that our cars were driveable !! Then the cars passing us on the right didn't want to stop to let us pull over to the shoulder. And TWO police cars drove by without stopping. I could understand the first one not stopping - they had prisoners in the back seat. But either of them could have checked to see if one of us was injured! I still have a bit of a headache and some shoulder pain from the whiplash but mostly I'm pissed off. This was a busy freeway. Hundreds of cars went by { it was still daylight } and only one stopped to check on us. But to me the first two policecars had no excuse.
