Some kids pull up next to me (I'm in a minivan remember)and start making obscene gestures, laughing, and generally driving like as*holes. By that I mean reckless and certainly a danger to other motorists-possible alcohol/drug involvement. They speed off at a high rate. I call 911 and get "permission" to pick up my pace to clock their speed and see where they're going. Once I report 90 the cops tell me to back off and they'll handle it. Sure enough, a cruiser speeds past me like I'm standing still, and pulls the *****heads over. Very gratifying.

Let's see...calling 911 (hope it was a hands-free), getting permission to play Deputy Dad (highly unlikely), and chasing the obviously crazed perpretrators, with your family on board, in a minivan, at 90 mph? IF this is true, you were a bigger danger to others and your family then those kids were. When was the last time you tried an emergency maneuver in a populated minivan at 90 mph?
Just a thought.
