[QUOTE="Relic, post: 3145220, member: 73277"] I'm a retired firefighter - big city to the east. I used to tell the rookies that working a wreck on Central of LBJ was more dangerous than being buried-up in a 5-alarm fire. On Friday and Saturday nights, probably half of the drivers whizzing by the wreck we were working were legally drunk, desperately trying to get the equally drunk girl they just picked-up at the bar home before she sobers up. It's why we routinely blocked off extra lanes of traffic to give us an empty lane for a buffer so we could extricate victims, extinguish fires, and not have to constantly worry some knucklehead was going to take us all out. There were plenty of close calls, moments where fresh underwear was needed, but nobody was injured or died on my watch. But for the grace of God... (If the pissed off motorists could see the road from our perspective, they wouldn't be so quick to complain.) [/QUOTE]
