You guys wouldn't believe some of the DB's I have had to deal with doing traffic control on an accident scene! I had one idiot actually go around me and drive towards the live powerlines laying on the road! Unfortunately another firefighter pulled his keys from the ignition before he was vaporized. Another time a lady got all pissy with me because the road was closed while we cut 3 dead young men out of a car that had hit a tree at 80 MPH. That was the only time I ever lost my temper and I told her that she would at least get home eventually, but these boys were never going home again so she should zip her lip. I pull over a lot for people who are respectful as I drive a IDI diesel crewcab with a utility bed loaded with parts and tools or a 240D most of the time, and don't feel it is my job to enforce the speed limit, but when they weave back and forth and hit me with the high beams before I even have a spot to pull over, I just ignore them.
