that will wake someone up 
Do you remember what the permit is called?
He said the other guy raised **** because his truck was not damaged!? 
Some times you just walk away quietly. 
I believe that the Michigan State Police did field testing of warning lights that indicated that more was not necessarily better especially when parked by the roadside. There findings were that the more elaborate lighting schemes draw impaired drivers to you like a moth to a flame. Dr Steven Salomon; who is an optometrist from upstate New York; has done a lot of research on warning lights and vehicle colors. His results are counter intuitive but they bear out what the Michigan State Police found. Impaired drivers find it very difficult to look away from the visual confusion of an elaborate set of warning lights. People tend to drive toward what they are looking at. By the way the Michigan State Police had to end their testing early after their test bed vehicles were wrecked by impaired drivers plowing into them. Call me an unfeeling no good so and so but I would like to see these super elaborate lighting schemes used on vehicles equipped with deceleration barricades so that the dammed drunks that keep killing LEOs Firefighters, and the rest of the public would end up plowing into the barricades and be taken off the road by them. Yeah I know but I already said what you can call me and besides I have the use of high quality fire resistive clothing so flame away.
When I was a Zoomy; low these many years ago; the armorers on the B-52 Bombers would leave the rear quad mount fifties on automatic tracking so that the mount would track the security police sentry that was carrying a rifle every time he passed the tail of the bird on his patrol. Then the base commander got a call from the SP squadron commander and several armorers had to walk a post for several nights. That gag came to an abrupt halt.
It might be simpler than that. Program the cell tower control equipment to deny service to any cell phone that is moving faster than a brisk walk. Please don't bellyache about the inconvenience to passengers. There is good research that documents that it is more distracting to hear half of a conversation then it is to be involved in it. People can just wait until they are off the road.July 8th, 2011.
My deuce is in storage in Texas right now, likely looking for a new home, BUT.... When I run her on the interstates I always placed a reflectoried yellow "Convoy Ahead" Sign on the tailgate, and in bad weather or low light conditions I would use the two amber convoy beacons above and behind the cab. I know you folks are going to go off the deep end, but my answer to any cop was... "It's tan, it's large and it's slow, I need all the help I can get to avoid some truck driver from running me over in the right lane doing 54..." Fedferal law says I must maintain 45 mph on interstates, but there are a lot of fools out there that cannot see a tan truck in daylight that does NOT blend into a woodland and grass background....
Personally, if I could afford it a V100 would be my choice for interstate cruiser.....
Personally, I think the feds need to add a circuit to the auto truck electricals that either cuts the cell phone off when the engines in gear and the vehicles rolling, or jams it out under the same condition... MAybe make it impossible for the machine to go into gear or even cut the engine out....!The average proto-auto-sub-simian does not have enough brain cells to spare to drive, text or talk.... Its illegal on the railroad.... it should be illegal everywhere else too!
