Just got off work and was heading home when my work car died on me right at 582 and 75 for those that know the area. I got off 75 since I noticed the vehicle starting to die and was on the 582 overpass over 75.
Highway Patrolman pulled up and came to the window rather quickly, didn't seem like he ran the plate. I informed immediately while handing my DL and CHL. The Trooper thanked me for informing, asked where the firearm was so I told him "On my right side".
He then proceeded to explain how he was going to get my vehicle to a safe place etc... Also said he'd check back in a bit since AAA was already on the way.
Great interaction as they should be. Wish I had his name.

How was he going to get your car "to a safe place"? Push it? That's protect and SERVE....
Unarmed people are vulnerable people, and criminal predators prey upon them.

I've watched Columbus PD push stalled cars off of overpasses (most cruisers have push bars), so pushing is definitely an option.

OSHP doesn't have push bars; never did, AFAIK. Never did quite understand why not.MyWifeSaidYes wrote:I've watched Columbus PD push stalled cars off of overpasses (most cruisers have push bars), so pushing is definitely an option.

Re: Highway Patrol(Bowling Green)
The OSP post is just 3/4 mile west of the overpass on SR582!

Something like that would interfere with the vehicle's ability to not stand out. Which, as far as I can tell, is their primary concern anymore.docachna wrote:OSHP doesn't have push bars; never did, AFAIK.

Re: Highway Patrol(Bowling Green)
Actually that is EXACTLY what he did. He pulled his car back a bit, got out and pushed my car backwards. I started to get out to help and he said to stay in so that we could get on the brakes faster. Like I said this was a great Trooper, wish I got his name.gaptrick wrote:How was he going to get your car "to a safe place"? Push it? That's protect and SERVE....
That is correct that the OSHP post is right off 25 on 582.

Re: Highway Patrol(Bowling Green)
them doing that does provide me with some morning amusement. My car looks fairly similar to the OSHP, when I merge onto 75 in the AM, everyone behind me instantly slows down...sodbuster95 wrote:Something like that would interfere with the vehicle's ability to not stand out.
