    About this time every year I post pics of our not excellent driving TN State cops. Now I know that all of us are going to stay inside the lines. These guys however don't seem to understand any of that.

    Nobody is going to give them a ticket? Kind of like "do as I say, not as I do".

    i've driven a police cruiser... they don't handle very well. They would probably have to drive 25 or slower to make those turns.

    those cars can go fast on a highway though.... and it's fun to watch everyone get out of your way like Moses parting the seas....:devil:

    Ya know I remember a large posting count on forums having to do with proper driving respect on the Dragon and MINIs having to do with crossing over the center line! Well I guess it is a usual point that police do not practice the laws they enforce?

    :lol:

    All I can say is:
    You try handling a 5000lbs land barge wearing a flak jacket and utility belt!
    I do not condone unlawful behavior by any party...
    But until the cops get the CARBON cruiser...its more of the same with the Crown Vics!

    I understand what you are saying as, I too have spent some time in one of those. However, if it takes 25 to stay in the lane then 25 it should be. A long time ago they decided that it was better for the police to arrive a bit late rather then not at all or cause an accident on the way, but this seems to have been forgotten.

    I'm confused. Are they swearing to the ethical practice of medicine while crossing the center line? ;)

    BTW, I know exactly what the intent is, but just couldn't resist.

    The officer probably has a MINI home in the garage and just forgot which car he was in.

    Blame it on the lure of the mighty Dragon.:arf:

    The cops patrolling the Dragon and surrounding areas really should have MINIs instead of Crown Vics. :D
