Oh, and a little more respect for the jobs the troopers do. On more than one occasion I've watched a person driving a car cut off one of our escort troopers. A trooper not assigned to our load pulled one car over.
A few years back I saw a car plow into a trooper escorting one of our loads. omg! We work with lights flashing. Give us a break. We are trying to keep the public safe.

btw: I have a dash cam now.
