  And finally, if you're a dangerous driver, it's probably not a good idea to take your kids to school. A Flint, Michigan, police officer was stopped at a red light one morning last week when a vehicle sped by. The officer chased the vehicle about a half mile until it came to stop in front of a pre-school. Out stepped a man from the vehicle, along with a young girl. The man was arrested for fleeing police, plus he had traffic warrants issued against him. While in the back of the police cruiser in handcuffs, the man asked the officer to walk the girl into school, which the officer did.
