**Newflash!** Hey all I need some info. on a darn good lawyer.In Denver.It seems I had a slight run in with the State trooper on this dark and snowy highway.S.O.B was behind an unmark car(2 of 'em)
As I was approaching the cars,seems like normal cars,I've start to notice a little flashing of red and blue lights AHEAD of car I was behind(And a safe driving distance)I let up on accelerater, start to slow down,Than*BAM!*The car ahead of me STOPPED,on the left side of highway,I did everything I could to try to stop!(One thousand one,one th....)I smash into him,and then smash him into the car in front of him! Get this! Second car, DID NOT HAVE WARNING LIGHTS "ON"! So long story short,I'm and my passenger are ok,we wearing seatbelts.The car I ran into,driver wassent to the hospital,Back sore.The second car infront of him,suffered a nasty gash across forehead and under R. eye.My truck? The BIG bumper protected most of the front,'cept crinkle hood and took out left front light.The rad. was fine .we stayed in the truck for about 2 hrs,staying warm!Because I ran into a cop,they impounded my beast to check for mech. failure.Too bad I've just bought new tires for my dually,and earlier,put on new rotors and pads. So now am getting ready for the long process with the insurance.Hopefully they can come up with a lawyer too.Sorry for the long unrelated topic.Will everybody feel better,if they know now I'm down to my street legal,track car? It's cold out,AND I DON'T HAVE HEAT!(Headers)I hope everybody had a much nicer Easter than mine. |

Yes I did get a ticket.And yes,Scott is right.My only complaint was ,why didn't the State trooper have his flashing lights on.I KNOW for a fact,if the State Trooper had his lights on,I've would have been driving in a good timely matter,thus would have stopped properly.And wouldn't have to go through this inconvenientcy.While sitting at the State Trooper office, awaiting what's next. The Officer in charge doing paper work.One of the other officer involve statement was lying right there ,easy to read,stated they "both" had their lights on! Got me fuming and decided to keep my mouth shut till I get a lawyer. No way I'm going to take credit for their failure, and them creating a hazard at the sake of public safety.I'm a dam good driver,was observing what kind of vehicle was ahead of me,when I started to notice "little" flashing lights ahead of us. Because they were little, I was assuming it was at some distance ahead of us and started to slow down.Before I know it, the car in front of me stopped and I was already braking(Dam ABS!) slid right into them.My point is thoses "Little " lights were in the back window of a unmark car,(Which was ahead of car in front of me) I was seeing, was again, a little distance ahead of the car in front of me,was in a way "Blocked" therefore I really couldn't see them or be able to judge correctly what was happening. I was checking out the vehicle ahead of me, what kind of racks it had on top of the car? Just kinda was thinking,what is it? Point, I'm trying to say, I had time to see if the car was indeed a State Trooper,didn't notice till a split second before I hit him.Again,my point is,If He had lights on,nobody would have been hurt.Their mistake for causing a hazard on a busy snowy highway.Sorry for ranting on and on.
