Obey the laws

I want you to know the best way to support law enforcement is to not break the law and that includes your local driving laws -- don't speed! Don't slip around police officers directing traffic in a way that he has to step back. Yesterday I saw two cars with a bumper sticker: one said, "I support local law enforcement," and the other one had the Sheriff's Association little gold sticker in the back window and an ambulance was approaching the intersection. Well their light turned green and they just took off! Even though the ambulance had to stop in the middle of the intersection so they could go. There is a law that says go to the right and as carefully as you can pull over to the side and let your emergency vehicles pass. Now if they had been hit by the ambulance the ambulance people would have been injured, those in the car would have been injured but whose fault do you think that would have been?

If you really, really want to support your local law enforcement -- OBEY YOUR LAWS! And, that includes the traffic laws. Thank you.
