- SPThom, on 10/12/2007, -3/+100I really hope the cop tore up her ticket after that. :(
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -3/+78she's clearly pulled off to the side of the road, not in a traffic lane.
- unloud, on 10/12/2007, -0/+54"Just like that." wow.
- rorrison, on 10/12/2007, -1/+50I didn't know it was a law, I just do it anyway -- it's common sense. Which is all too uncommon these days, obviously.
- radu79, on 10/12/2007, -2/+50And he was saying that just when it happened, in the most calm voice. That cop has a lot of cold blood :)
- quentinmcalmott, on 10/12/2007, -2/+46I'm more impressed by every driver who managed to not hit the lady's car. You know, the people that have mastered driving where obstacles aren't?
- digismack, on 10/12/2007, -4/+46Yah, it's Photoshopped. *sigh*
- radu79, on 10/12/2007, -3/+43Yeah, and I hope that guy had insurance (the other driver).
- NSMike, on 10/12/2007, -1/+39@mem2 -
From the looks of it that is the side of the road - It's a highway shoulder. There is a law in a few states (Or at least in my own) in the US where if you see a patrol car with someone pulled over on a highway shoulder, you either have to move over to the far lane, or if you are unable to move over, you have to slow down while passing them. This is the exact reason. - TomP, on 10/12/2007, -1/+38"Just like that..."
- Arbus, on 10/12/2007, -1/+36Seriously. This is serious.
- victorycig, on 10/12/2007, -4/+38Thanks for the credits, RC...
- bjowoods, on 10/12/2007, -2/+34Seriously... the 10th? I've never seen it before so it was new to me. Would you care to provide links to the 9 other times?
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -3/+30I think he just felt proud of himself. I know I would.. though maybe he should have told her mom to get out of the car too..
- Settra, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21I've been here for quite a long time, and I haven't seen it before.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+21Seriously man, I haven't seen this on the front page at all, so shut the hell up.
It's not going to stop, people submit duplicate stories all day long, quit complaining about it. Don't take the time to click and add a comment just because you've seen it before. Nobody really gives a damn. - tuxidomasx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+20close call.
The officer coulda just been lazy and not cared if she was leanin up against the car.
kudos to the cop for following protocol. he probably saved her life. - Wamzlee, on 10/12/2007, -0/+19Its nice to see a cop play by the books for once, in this video. I got pulled over the other day, and the cop was uber nice, and ended up not giving me a citation. Of course, it was the beginning of college semesters, and they were more focused on catching drunk underages.
- thetaco82, on 10/12/2007, -3/+21I'm more impressed by the van that managed to avoid rolling over.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -2/+16Did anyone else notice the person in the passengers seat? Oh my.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -1/+14This was on World's Wildest Police Chases a few years back. The guy wasn't drunk, he was just tired.
- DuoPros, on 10/12/2007, -2/+15Maybe, just maybe he's trained to take emergency's calmly? Just a guess...
- Pyrogen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12Yes, we routinely setup incidents like that just to film it.
- richIsBored, on 10/12/2007, -0/+11We should have a "dupe" user group that people can opt in and out of.
People in this user group would be able to flag stories as duplicates but they also wouldn't be able to see stories that had been flagged. - Arkonnan, on 10/12/2007, -3/+13I don't know how the cops are in the States, but up here in Canuckdia they're pretty cool. The last time I got pulled over, I got out of the car and walked back to the cruiser. We stood around and shot the ***** for a while before they took off.
Of course, I would have played it differently if they had been pointing guns at me. But they don't seem to over-react so much in this area. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+10WTF is "Security Guard Theatre"? Lol.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+9Question SORT OF related to this.
This story disappears from my front page. What I mean is, it's there for like 0.1s, then it disappears and all the other stories move up. WHY?! It's happening on a lot of stories, and I don't want to miss anything. - matx, on 10/12/2007, -3/+11nice coincidence! I think its usually common sense to keep away from a parked car on a fast moving road.
- j.carcinogen, on 10/12/2007, -2/+10So in the south they will just crash into you since they aren't as reasonable as yankees?
- cziryak, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7I think it's more of a moth to a flame thing. They turn to look and end up driving in that direction.
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -7/+14"It depends where you live.. up north in the US they are much more reasonable than in the south."
[Citation Needed] - rodrigo74, on 10/12/2007, -0/+7If this cop were really a psychic, he should have asked the person seating in the passenger's seat to leave the car too.
- cleverboy, on 10/12/2007, -1/+8Nah, get a grip, he simply jumped OFF the road, not BEHIND anyone. Important to note that he chose to stand with his back to the road in the first place given that so many people would see that as an opportunity. I think holding his arm out does suggest he would pull her back... if she'd begun to move into the road, however, she only moved up and down, which satisfied his concerns enough not to need to touch her unnecessarily. She looks like a hottie, he doesn't need more legal troubles. I'm sure the ambulance chasers had a field day in any case.
- mrASSMAN, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7I thought this might have been a video i've seen of a car nearly missing the cop during a rain storm.. but nope I've never seen this one.
- abusive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5o_O
You sure have some interesting points. Especially #2. I am sure him stepping in front of her would stop a van that seems to be going 60MPH+ - eurocrisp, on 10/12/2007, -2/+7you mean if she hadn't been speeding, the wreck wouldnt have happened?
If the cop hadn't made her get out of her car, the wreck would have been a lot worse. Every time I've been pulled over I was told to stay in my vehicle. - dattaway, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5"The life you save might be your own."
- mousy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Is it me, or if you were a cop wouldn't you be running to help the person in the car?
- Pyrogen, on 10/12/2007, -2/+6If this is the type of person that wants to impeach Bush, I'm afraid for my country.
- mikedpirone, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4I don't know about you guys but I live in NJ and if you try to step foot out of the car without an officer telling you to do so and he will flip out on you. Whenever I get pulled over I roll my window down halfway, shut my car off, and place my hands on the steering wheel.
- richIsBored, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4This happens way too often and I can't help but wonder how the hell people manage to crash into cars parked on the shoulder.
I mean what are the odds given the size of a car in comparison to a stretch of road? And if people are just being curious and turning their head to look then wouldn't they be more likely to crash into something that they aren't paying attention to?
The only explanation I can come up with is that they see a cop issuing a ticket and forget they're driving. They let go of the steering wheel and "watch TV". - Ikioi, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Oh wow, Mr, you're right. I didn't even notice the passenger! Watching it a few more times, I see the passenger's arms get thrown forward, but it doesn't look like they hit the windshield (the wipers turn on, and I don't see them spreading around anything red). I think they still had their seatbelt on (good thing).
Someone got the best whiplash evidence in the history of whiplash suits. - micro506, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3It's the T-1000.
- Pyrogen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Its a cultural thing. In the south, stay in your car. Period. You make them nervous when you get out, because you have a greater ability to shoot at them. Even northern cops make that mistake down there - they get out because they're used to pulling the driver out of the car to write the citation.
- usmc6531, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3lol randal that may be the dumbest statement i have ever heard and we are all now dumber for that.....
- MrSunshine, on 10/12/2007, -2/+4Yeah, good thing she only lost her mother-in-law. I'm glad you only care about the car.
- blankman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2There was someone else in the pulled over car if I remember it from TV correctly. Not sure if they were ok.
- jsilva, on 10/12/2007, -4/+6what about her mother-in-law? :'(
- mikedpirone, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3well...it was her mother-in-law so she probably wasn't all too upset.
- CJz44, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3If you watch properly, he also pulls her back a bit slightly.
