Scale house saved us

[Jenny]

Today we were on our way into IL from WI. We had to pull into a scale house. It took us about 30 seconds to be able to safely get back into traffic. Which turned out to be a good thing.

There had been a shootout with the FBI at a bank. Had we not stopped we would have been there as it happened. And if the pole had not stopped the car, we could have been hit.
When we approached the scene we were stopped behind another truck and a car. The FBI gents pulled a suspect from the car and arrested him. After the second swarm of undercover cars pulled in, we were directed by officers to proceed so they could shut down the road and do their thing.

Here is a link to the story.

The fun, exciting, and scary part of being out on the road.

Friday we were at a wawa just west of reading, pa when we noticed police everywhere and roads all blocked. Then a knock on the door. Some one had found what appeared to be a pipe bomb next to a tanker that was parked in the lot along with us and no one else. So we had to move of course. Followed up and found out it was a false alarm. Quite a lot of excitement though.

. Had we not stopped we would have been there as it happened.

this is a great argument against speed limiters.
the faster you drive- the less time you spent on the road- the less chance you have to be involved in an accident!
{or get a speeding ticket for that matters...}
