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.

No boat, back in the suds.

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!

Almost time to get our fish on!!!

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.

Great Idea.. Get those F#$%^&^g Drunks off the roads.
I rather they hit the pole than innocent drivers going fishing.

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.

Went up to Plum Island last year, watched a guy bounce off the Jersey barrier 2 times and just kept going......not sure if he was drunk or alseep at the wheel....my guess is he was cocked.
