Yep. Dude was so hammered he swerved into a ditch on Hwy 167 near Washington / Nuba, lost the boat that was in the back of his truck and kept going. I tailed him for a short distance while on the phone with the St. Landry sheriff's office and then LSP. He stopped on the side of the road, passed out, then woke up and kept going less than 5 min later. Went up the wrong way on a road, and ended up crashing in the woods near the Wal Mart distribution center near Port Barre. Looks like he had a badly broken arm and claimed that he wasn't driving. The cop then told me to leave.

Once here in Vernon parish. Kid came to a stop light and did, right in the middle of the intersection. Then sped off all over the place. Saw a New Llano set up on the side of the road, and turned into the parking lot and told him that driver in that car was f'ed up. He took off after him and caught him at 171 and entrance road.
And today for a lady not wearing her seat belt.

van was driving crazy near 290 so I called Tx State Police. We followed him up towards Brenham when the cops intercepted him after he had just taken out a guys trailer. We hung back but followed into Brenham where he left the road and like 30 cop cars converged. That evening it was all over the news.....ex-con and girlfriend all jacked up on drugs.

I dial *LSP at least once a month.

The last time was for a guy texting and driving, he was in a 3500 dodge pulling a gooseneck and swerving from grass to grass on I10.

When I lived in Memphis and I went to make a left-hand turn not far from Rhodes College there was a minivan in my turning lane facing the wrong direction and partially up on the median. There was a guy passed out leaning out the window, and I shite you not there was a beer can on the ground right next to the door. I called the police with the quickness and by the time I got back from getting whenever shitty fast food I was picking up there were cops on the scene.

was getting frustrated bc 45 minutes AFTER the APSO deputy arrived on the accident scene, we were still waiting for a LSP officer to administer the sobriety test.


Why were you sticking around for 45 minutes after he pulled her over?

Did this once when I saw a driver who was clearly intoxicated. She was a danger to herself and everyone on the road. I couldn't let it go. I doubt anything ever came of it but I gave them her vehicle description and where she was heading at the time, I did not get the license plate.

Once I-49 N about 30 miles north of Natchitoches, dude was all over the interstate, speed would fluctuate from 45-90+, ran off both shoulders. I couldn't decide whether to go around or pull off and wait for him to get a decent distance away from me. Finally just called 911 and followed him until the patrol car caught up to us.

I have actually thought about calling a friend in, but I can't do it. He gets fall down drunk and then drives. We steal his keys, he brings two sets. We lock the house, he jumps the fence. He needs to get a DUI.


Tell him next time that you will call it in if he does that shite again. And if he does, do it before he kills somebody.

I did one day when this a-hole almost hit my car with my wife and first child who was 1 year old at the time riding with me. The car full of people were getting off the interstate at pvill/geismar exit and I had to literally swerve out of the way from getting hit, they sped past me and almost hit 3 more cars. The car ran the light before the driver promptly and obviously threw a beer can out of the window and opened another one.

Called 911, reported them, they asked where I was, I shite you not by the time we got halfway down 621 they pulled him over and he was getting arrested.

I called the police when I passed by 3 guys beating the shite out of some other guy in the median, but they already had been called and were on the way. Their cars were all pulled into the grass, so apparently they had chased the guy to that point.





No, this was not in Florida but in Mississippi.

Once. It was raining at 1am in NO East. I followed behind him and waited to call until he ran off the interstate into the fence along the service road bc I'm an a-hole.
