it's poisonous. Our safety topic today was supposed to be on poisonous (or more accurately venomous) snakes. But somehow we all signed the sheet of paper saying we were there and never actually had the meeting. Grr! This was a topic I was actually interested in, what with my no dieing policy.
On our way to the site, the person driving the vehicle I was in got a speeding ticket. We were following the other truck and got behind, so she sped up to catch them. Unfortunately she did so right in front of a cop in a school zone. The cop does the point maneuver which says "you - over" and she keeps going.
Me: You have to stop.
Her: I wasn't speeding,
Me: It doesn't matter. When a cop says to stop, you stop.
At this point, the cop has gotten in his car, turned the lights on, and is coming into our lane. A fact which I point out to her. Finally she stopped. She had also forgotten to bring her license with her and therefore couldn't give it to him when he asked. Luckily, she is from Louisiana and he was able to look up the fact that she does, in fact, have a license. During all this, I'm on the phone with the Crew Chief in the other car explaining what was going on.
Now there are two best parts:
- The driver was surprised that the cop didn't let her off with a warning.
- Somewhere during all this, the water jug tipped over, so I had no water to drink.
Overall, not a good start to the day!
