Near-north Ontario, French River | Squish, in our area its the fresh out of the academy rookie cops. Who'd a thunk you'd need sirens and lights to get to the coffee shop . I think its the adrenalin rush coupled with the 'coolness' of the sirens and lights that lead to the mental lapse and resulting excessive speed. I joked about the coffee shop but in most cases these guys are responding to accidents, at which apart from doing traffic control around the scene they have no real need to respond the extraction of any victims or cleanup of the site is the responsibility of the fire department or ems guys. Most times FD guys are on the scene before the cops, so whats the rush? |
