Recommended Posts

Isn't part of our job description to try to prevent accidents from occurring in the first place? Prevention is supposed to be at the top of our list. If this woman was driving recklessly and putting others at risk, then he's just doing his civic duty and saving lives from her disregard.

I guess having your dispatcher call PD is too difficult? Or calling from you cellphone? I think I could even support him getting her to pull off the road with is lights, but once he confronted and started yelling at her, he crossed the line.

I don't see where it says he was yelling at her. I can tell off my kid without yelling. Then again, there are a few colloquialisms in there that I don't understand. "Cutting him up" or "ticking her off" have meanings to me that just don't fit the context. Sometimes I see things that make me wish we had the authority to cite traffic violations, but then I think about all the whackers we have in this profession and realise it's a bad idea.

i think that those terms in australia mean something differently than what we think they do here. I suspect that he was using some very colorful language that was offensive to her.

I also suspect that he would not have been caught at all had she not have been a nurse and not have known him from her work in the er.

I took some of the colloquialisms to mean that he was yelling at her. I could be wrong, but that was the picture they painted for me.
