  I have seen this on several occasions as well. Lights on, blow the stop light, lights off, resume normal driving. Must be nice. lol

  Why do firefighters park and idle their enormous gas-guzzlers in front of the Lucky while they shop for lunch? Why do they pull up behind convertibles and start the siren? Why do cops blow around bikers? "Because they can"--after all, WE are paying, including paying for many hours of sleeping and eating.

  My gripe is when drivers do not use their turning signals. Unfortunately, some policemen are in this category. I wonder how many less accidents would occur if people practiced this safe practice. I wonder why people are not given tickets. If police gave tickets to people for not using their blinkers, Ca would be collecting so much money.
