Right on the corner I live on, there is a one way street, going away from my apartment. Almost every day I see cars coming the wrong way down it, and honestly 90% of those are the RPI or the city police. I was just going out to show my friend the new suspension, and I went up the street like I always do, and a cop was coming the other way. I stopped, and usually I wait for the other car to move since THEY are going the wrong way, but I had just turned the corner and it was a police car (no lights on though) so I backed up right back into my parking spot and let him go by. So... what would happen if I got hit by a police car coming down that road? I would imagine they would be at fault right? As I wrote this, 2 more came flying down it with lights and sirens on (there's a fraternity on my block, looks like they headed there).

No lights and sirens technically makes them regular traffic.

....but they're still the police.
Let's see what Mark or BoostX have to say on this.

When I worked in Atlanta, I drove southbound on northbound I-75....at rush hour...in the rain.

LOL! I did that too once when I was young... the next day I woke up in Canada! :shock:

Mark is correct, running with lights and siren make you exempt. As he stated it must be done with the utmost caution and regard for the public safety. They "may" be able to get away with it if going to a "silent" call IF thier policy allows it. Hate it for them if they crash into a civilian going the right way

:lol:

Mark, at what point (after you had passed the perpetrator of course) did they radio you to say you could stop now, the chase was over 40 minutes ago... please turn the cherries off and stop weaving through oncoming traffic with that maniacal giggle of yours.

I'd never heard of kudzu before, but after reading about it I want to see this stuff in action! It should be genetically engineered to grow even faster and to work in different climates, then it could be used as plant warfare....!

Does it kill off other vegetation when it comes into an area? Or does it coexist with the plants that are already there? Truly weird stuff.

 

[rex2nr]

I couldn't find buildings in half those pics.... I'm gonna go ahead and trust they are there. It appears like it would wipe out every other type of vegitation.
