Yesterday I was coming back from the beach with two friends and was in rural two lane north Florida. About 10 miles or so before the FL/AL state line, I had a chevy impala pull out in front of me. Immediately this guy starts driving erratically, running off the road on the right and kicking up dust, barely missing mailboxes and telephone poles.
It immediately turned serious when he started drifting left into oncoming traffic. He ran 3 vehicles off the road and came within inches of a head-on collision with a family of 4 and two young children. I said to myself that this day is either going to end with me getting this guy off the road or witnessing a bad accident.
I placed a call into our state trooper office and told them where we were and what was happening. After about 2 or 3 minutes of trailing this guy, we come into a small town and my Valentine One goes full strength Ka I/O. The only car that it could have come from was an unmarked chevy which we got the attention of and directed him toward the drunk driver. He had gotten the call and immediately pulled over, tested, and arrested this guy. My RD let me know that an officer was around, and helped get this guy off the street.
Good deed done for the day.
