Was coming home from fishing @ 3am one night this season, was going to my parents in North Haven, CT. I had to look twice and was thankfully not too shot, the guy was about 125 yard away driving on my side of the road with no lights on, made no effort to move, no swaying, as i had little time to react i just pulled into a driveway and let him go right on by. of course tried to high beam him prior, by the time i pulled out of the driveway, he was pretty much gone, i always woner if that guy got home safe?

My Dad was a cop for 30+ years and he said the majority of people who are out are crooks and drunks so be careful when out that late....or early in our case.

Got pulled over in Warwick RI about a month ago for a headlight out. Cop saw the rods and proceeded to talk to me about the Fall run for about 20 minutes. Never tagged me either! Funny.

well, what are you going to do about it?
note the make and model of the car, plate if possible, and call 911 and tell them to get a drunk off the road!

First of all Bassturd.....most of those instances the vehicles were coming at me! Should I turn around and chase them??? I think not! The one I was following I had the phone in my hand and dialing the number and lost the car at a light.....sorry...I tried!

Here on the mid-cape Barnstable they have made all 24 hour places close from 1am to 5am because to many places were becoming gathering places after drinking hours and there were alot of fights and stuff!!
The thought is if they have no place to stop they will just go home??
Well now Yarmouth is talking about doing the same because all the surrounding towns are getting the over flow!
Seems to be working.

always call 911. it will never hurt to mention it. just let them know if its a car or a truck and what road they are on and what direction they are travelling. the cops may have units nearby that could locate the bastage quickly.
