Ok so we all see the signs that say...
REPORT DRUNK DRIVERS CALL 911
its a bunch of bullshit.
i mean
don't get me wrong i still call and report any
jack off that cuts me off
or
someone who seriously acts drunk
but its a damn
hassle and discourages me from doing it again.
who knows maybe one of the calls
I've made in the past has saved a life
but this past experience i have had with the police operator makes me want to say fuck it.
let me explain..
ok so it's Mr. Bee, Lee, Gee & yours truly driving on the 5 freeway after a nice
Italian dinner
all of a sudden there comes a point on the freeway that is blocked off the left
so of course people take caution and slow down, well the
dumb ass in front of us
practically comes to a complete stop right in the middle of the freeway
almost causing us to hit him.
The 2 lane slowly merges into a 1 lane...well this guy almost hits the sigh that says
ROAD WORK, he's got his left turn signal on now
however never made a left
but never turned the signal off either almost hits the car next to him
and is now taking up 2 lanes.
He braking he's
swerving taking up 2 lanes...basically scaring the shit out of us.
So i say enough is enough this guys gonna kill someone, so i dial 911.
A few rings and....

Ok see the point of this blog
isn't to discourage you from calling in a suspected drunk driver
I'm sure even after this
I'm going to call again.
I just wish people could do their damn jobs efficiently.
Like come on people, get it together.
I remember when I was in a car accident in 2005 on the 110 freeway..
I was stuck in the car.
Literally stuck, I thought I was done for.
My friend (the driver) calls and calls 911
NO ANSWER.
all she kept hearing was..
WE'RE SORRY ALL OPERATORS ARE BUSY AT THIS TIME.
I'm trapped and your seriously gonna tell me that shit
are you kidding me?
So this blog is aimed toward the fucked up system we have!
Peoples lives are at risk.
I swear I usually say something in situations like that but i guess i was caught up in giving the right info. Either way it's a problem and I will say
something next time.
The thing about these types of situations...where do i complain?
I can vent and write a blog but I'd really like to know where is the place
that is going to take this kind of thing seriously?
Either way DONT DRINK & DRIVE.
