I was driving to lunch today from a garage I was working on going into town. It's on a good stretch of road, probably about ten or so miles until the Richardson highway. Anyway, about two miles from the garage I was working on, a police officer pulled out of a road, probably starting his shift, who knows, but he wasn't wearing a uniform, and it was a Fairbanks Police car. Anyway, he pulls out after I drive by him, and he catches up, so we're all doing about 55-60, no biggie. About 4 miles later, I come around a corner and there's a red Mazda Protege that's flipped over on its side on the right side of the road, the windshield had pealed away from the car and the driver was walking to a truck that had pulled up to help out. Normally, I would have pulled over to help, but I know the police officer was behind me, so I switch into the left lane (it turned into a four lane road), and passed slowly knowing full well the police would stop to offer assistance. I look in my rear view mirror, and he just drives by! I couldn't believe it, I just glared at him in my rear view mirror (he couldn't see me, but it made me feel better). Now I'm regretting not stopping to offer any assistance, but what concerns me more is the police, even off duty, not stopping for something that obviously requires police attention. Sorry for the rant, I guess I'm just venting. I did drive by on my way back to the garage, and the car was being loaded onto a flatbed, so I'm hoping everyone was okay.
