When the middle lane (to his left) wasn’t moving, Ted should have known something was up. It could have been an old woman in a walker or a duck walking its ducklings. BAD driving by Ted.
But the cop should not have lied (nor did he need to).
There should be disciplinary action.
BS, he made an illegal left turn against the on-coming traffic which had the green right of way. Even with his little lights flashing which were blocked by traffic in the #1&2 lanes, the BP vehicle had total responsibility to yield to on coming traffic. You can't just assume traffic with the right of way is going to yield. That's utter suicide.
Then he lied about the entire event.
BTW Mr. dumb, vehicle #2 which had the right away could say the exact same thing. If BP vehicle #1 could not see the #3 lane where V2 was, he should have never proceeded into the path of V2.
End of story.
The article says that the place where the accident occurred was marked as NO LEFT TURN. So the agent was making an illegal left turn as well.........................
I figured this was one story where no one would show up to lick the BP agents boots.
I was wrong.
I agree with you on both points. I noticed that too.
“Ted should have known something was up.”
Oh, right. One must always anticipate a clown car full of Shriners. Or the Border Patrol. Same-same.
