On a side note, hug your babies! I was surfing e-bay yesterday and heard a loud bang, looked out the window and saw a pickup truck swerve off the road and clip a sign, cross back over the road and went into the ditch. Rolled over and ended up on it's wheels. I jumped up and ran out and down the road ( about a quarter mile) by the time I got there, the driver was out and considering the severity of the wreck, relatively unscathed. Turns out it was a friend of the families daughter, thank God she will be OK. I live in the country and all the neighbors came out, one is a nurse so she took good care of the girl until the ambulance showed up. The highway patrol shows up and he was polite and professional, but said the tire didn't blow out until after the sign got hit...my brother was on the front porch and said the same thing I did. He heard two distinct sounds. First a loud bang (the tire blowout) then a slap ( the sign). The officer didn't believe either one of us and cited the girl. Guess he knows better, because we were just stupid eyewitnesses... Sorry for getting off track, but it makes you realize how short life is. Tell the people you care about that you're thinking of them, you may not get another chance.
Regards,
Joe

Joe,
Glad the girl did not get seriously injured. I just wanted to give you some insight on what the officer was thinking. First, eyewitness accounts/testimony/statements is generally inaccurate. This is multiplied by the fact that you did not actually see anything, rather heard it. The trooper, having some training and experience, but most likely no expert, is going to examine the physical evidence and rely on that.
Have any other questions, send me a PM.

Did you raise your cross at the mirror?
