Well, I'm 35 and I got in my first accident yesterday.  It was my drill weekend and I was heading back to work from lunch.  Sucks to lose your DD especially when it is reliable and paid for.  I was coming through an intersection with a green light and the security forces come through on a red.  They turned their sirens on as we both got in the intersection...too late to do anything with.  Neither of us were going very fast, speed limits were only 20MPH.  Nobody hurt, but my truck just turned into my DD.  At least fuel is below $2/gal.

I honestly see cops do this all the time, Get to a red light, flip the lights on, then kill the lights on the otherside.

 

Dunno if that was the case, but sucks none the less.   Glad everyone is ok.  

 

That shouldn't be your fault...  that is a lack of proper caution on the 18 year old SF schmuck.  

Did they discuss recourse?

The cops driving the car were great to work with and they weren't trying to avoid blame.  the driver was a female and I think her pride was more hurt than the car she was driving.  Certainly not the way I wanted to end my UTA, but what do you do.

What town is that ? I see no traffic .

Most important I hope they don't fire the gal

She has learned an important lesson.

That should buff out..........................

That's a start.  You should get a settlement from that that should cover your car though.

Time to hit the police auction and get a 350 crown vic with a big front end.

Why not just drive the Cummins?  Fuel is cheap...

Just think about what the cop car would look like if you were DD'ing the Dodge.

What if the dodge is all torn apart in the garage for days????

He's got a dually, not the best for city driving. 

So he's got training wheels...

Lucky you saw them.  I understand that emergencies dictate that you have the right of way, but it is imperative that they verify the inspection is clear before blowing through.  the SPs that I met on Sunday realized that they should have done just that.

The like button should be back for all.

you're joking right? I hope so at least, it would be sad if someone in the goveberment decided that was a bad term.
