you have red lights right? pretty sure you went through a red light, are you technically allowed to without a siren?

Yes, I have "red lights" in my truck. And yes, I did go through a stop light around 2:27 in the video. No, we're not permitted to do that and, in fact, it's a bad habit that many people have...especially when following behind an apparatus. It wasn't my brightest moment when I realized where the engine was going. Yes, I messed up on that one.

Well I commend you on "fessing up" when you were approached about it. It shows responsibility. Instead of going off on "it's common around here blah blah blah.." Good job. The only thing I will say is PLEASE be more careful!! I would hate to hear of anything bad happening to anyone here due to a not so bright moment.


Is NC a courtesy light state?

I know what happens when people get defensive around here, lol. I've learned all too well (here and in the "real world") that it's WAY easier to just fess up. The whoopin' isn't nearly as bad then if you try and hide it or cover it up.


Yes, NC is a courtesy light state (chiefs can run sirens).

The Camero was another one of our members.
