A Wisconsin Police Chief wrote himself a ticket for passing a school bus while it's red lights flashed.


According to Officer.com, the Police Chief in Kewaskum, Wisconson, was not paying attention to what was going on around him when he "accidently" passed a school bus with it's red lights flashing. (He claimed he was watching a truck on the opposite side of the 4 lane road, which had, umm.. stopped for some reason.

I don't know if he did it because he truly felt he deserved it, or if he did it out of fear that the bus driver would report him, but he wrote himself a ticket, and gave himself 4 points against his driver's license.

I remeber when I was a kid (about 14), my neighbor let me drive his car home for him while he drove his truck, and I did the same thing, only I knew the red lights were flashing, I just never paid any attention to the great big letters on the back of the bus that read "Stop When Red Lights Flash". I mean, I knew the words were there, but the "Stop When Red" was above the windows, and the "Lights Flash" was below, so I mentally seperated them and didnt' realize you were actually supposed to, you know... stop.. I was 14, what do you expect?
