2talltim Posted April 7, 2015 Report Share Posted April 7, 2015 (edited) Laid my mom to rest today and I had to keep my cool at all the disrespectful people that would not stop for her funeral procession. We were in the limo, 4th car back and there was a guy that cut between us and the hearse at stop sign as well as many others that would not pull off. A family member claimed they got the plate number of the car but i didn't follow up. We were lead by a patrol car but people still didn't do as they should have. If I was driving there would have been some road rage passed along on my behalf. Edited April 8, 2015 by 2talltim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustinsn3485 Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 Sorry for your loss. It makes me sick how people disrespect those in mourning.In TN, they still pull over on both sides of the road.Outside of Nashville maybe.On the rare occasion that I find myself opposite a funeral procession, I no longer pull off to the side. I stop in the middle, that leaves those behind me no choice other than to stop. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C-bus Posted April 8, 2015 Report Share Posted April 8, 2015 I almost ended one of those funeral escort bikes a few years ago. He lead a procession onto I70 at Brice and then stopped his bike sideways on I70 aggressively motioning people to stop. Not smart, my motorcycling brother.

MichaelS Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 "Police say they have spoken with the driver of the car but have not filed any charges." Hopefully they hit them with the book. Ridiculous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DerekClouser Posted August 10, 2015 Report Share Posted August 10, 2015 I'm not going to pass judgement too quickly. If they aren't looking to press charges, it's possible that maybe it was just an accident. Those things do happen from time to time. Either result doesn't bring the officer back. RIP.
