obviously a fair point...but I remain unswayed.
Cops in my town have been involved in four vehicular accidents in the last two years. In one instance, two deputies in two different cars smashed into each other on the way to a code 3 call.
Just last month, another one hit a power pole and blacked out a neighborhood.
I keep good situational awareness on the MUP and on the road, but these things are really quite fast and take up an entire path lane.
