    Well, D. Hall, If the deputy had been paying attention, he would have seen that there was someone stopped in the road. Clearly a lack of paying attention on his part. And I always slow down and move to the edge of the roadway when there are flashing lights headed towards me. And thankfully no deputy has ran me over.

    Doug,
    I believe the ticket was issued by the State Trooper as they investigate traffic accidents. I’m glad the young lady is OK.
    When I read this I flashback to Hillstreet Blues, when the Sgt. Always said “Let’s be careful out there”

    Great idea , you see an emergency vehicle coming so you ’stop’ in the highway – talk about a ‘death wish’. Ya’ll need to read the ‘drivers manual’ again (hint > try moving over out of the travel lanes dah)

    I just wonder if the patrolman wrote his own ticket?

    Well nobody can say that the system isnt fair. Just proves to everyone that there is no favoritism.
