My 59 00:03:05,639 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 4: current role is I work. I'm employed by the Panow 60 00:03:09,320 --> 00:03:11,960 Speaker 4: County Sheriff's Office, which is Panow County is just south 61 00:03:11,960 --> 00:03:16,080 Speaker 4: of Phoenix, just north of Tucson. So where that county 62 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:21,640 Speaker 4: where three hundred square miles smaller than the state of Connecticut. Wow, 63 00:03:21,720 --> 00:03:23,840 Speaker 4: So if you think about state of Connecticut, you know 64 00:03:23,919 --> 00:03:27,560 Speaker 4: kind of a rectangle state Panow County very similar in 65 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,560 Speaker 4: size and shape and just a little bit smaller. So 66 00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:34,280 Speaker 4: pretty big county, very rural, and a lot of traffic 67 00:03:34,320 --> 00:03:36,360 Speaker 4: issues here. So I'm assigned to our full time traffic 68 00:03:36,480 --> 00:03:40,040 Speaker 4: unit and I drive an aggressive driver car, so I'm 69 00:03:40,080 --> 00:03:43,000 Speaker 4: always looking for vehicles on the roadway that are moving, 70 00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,680 Speaker 4: you know, whether they're speeding, whether they're driving recklessly or aggressively, 71 00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,720 Speaker 4: or they're impaired, or they're involved in a collision. That's 72 00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:52,200 Speaker 4: the kind of enforcement that I do here. 73 00:03:52,440 --> 00:03:54,760 Speaker 1: You know, some of the drivers listen, I'm a fan. 74 00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 1: I've already said it Fridays with Frank It's it's a 75 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:02,040 Speaker 1: great watch on YouTube. And the young driver the young 76 00:04:02,120 --> 00:04:04,400 Speaker 1: drivers are are Are they all knuckleheads or is it 77 00:04:04,480 --> 00:04:05,960 Speaker 1: just some of them? The one kid that got pulled 78 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 1: over in the Mustang for doing one hundred and something 79 00:04:08,000 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: miles an hour and he's looking at you like I'm 80 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:10,440 Speaker 1: going to get a ticket? 81 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:13,080 Speaker 4: Yeah, yeah, you know, absolutely no care. 82 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,520 Speaker 1: What do you say to that, because they they've got 83 00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:18,680 Speaker 1: to realize at one hundred something miles an hour, the 84 00:04:18,720 --> 00:04:22,160 Speaker 1: force of that car hitting someone something, another car, a 85 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:23,480 Speaker 1: brick wall, they're dead. 86 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 4: Yep. Everyone's dead. Yeah, the the amount of and you know, 87 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,600 Speaker 4: in in terms of collision, you know, with a collision 88 00:04:31,600 --> 00:04:34,719 Speaker 4: sequence or collision reconstruction, we always talk about the energy 89 00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 4: that comes into into a collision sequence. And the faster 90 00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,320 Speaker 4: you go, the more energy that that's involved in that, 91 00:04:41,360 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 4: and the more energy gets transferred on a collision with 92 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:48,920 Speaker 4: another vehicle. And speed is the speed is is the factor. 93 00:04:48,960 --> 00:04:53,560 Speaker 4: Speed is is always seems to be the determining factor constantly, 94 00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:58,200 Speaker 4: and if a if a collision is a non injury collision, 95 00:04:58,240 --> 00:05:01,240 Speaker 4: an injury collision, a fatal collision, and it just I 96 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:04,560 Speaker 4: don't know if it's if it's a lack of you know, 97 00:05:04,680 --> 00:05:09,160 Speaker 4: understanding of repercussions and the cause and effect of reckless 98 00:05:09,200 --> 00:05:11,360 Speaker 4: and dangerous driving. I don't know what it is. And 99 00:05:11,360 --> 00:05:13,880 Speaker 4: I would hate to paint an entire generation with a 100 00:05:13,920 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 4: broad brush. 101 00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:17,120 Speaker 1: But it's hard, It's it's got to be hard. I mean, 102 00:05:18,640 --> 00:05:21,599 Speaker 1: I've watched the videos. Frank. They they you know, you 103 00:05:21,640 --> 00:05:24,240 Speaker 1: pull them over. They don't have a license, they don't 104 00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:26,640 Speaker 1: have a registration, they don't have an insurance card. They 105 00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:29,240 Speaker 1: give you a passport, sometimes they give you some form 106 00:05:29,279 --> 00:05:31,479 Speaker 1: of ID or they have nothing on them. Well, I 107 00:05:31,520 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 1: was just going to the store for milk, and you 108 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,520 Speaker 1: find out they were going in the opposite direction at 109 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:39,039 Speaker 1: some Kakamamy story and they're doing eighty ninety one hundred 110 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:42,600 Speaker 1: miles an hour. Absolutely, and they've got to understand the 111 00:05:42,640 --> 00:05:46,719 Speaker 1: consequences of that. Are you know what surprises people?

You know, what's the you know what's the best, like, oh, 113 00:05:50,120 --> 00:05:52,960 Speaker 1: my gosh, story that would maybe make people wake up 114 00:05:53,040 --> 00:05:55,400 Speaker 1: so that they drive better. What can you tell them? 115 00:05:55,760 --> 00:05:59,960 Speaker 4: Boy? It is we just we just two weeks ago 116 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:03,160 Speaker 4: right here in the middle of Santan Valley, which is 117 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:07,599 Speaker 4: the largest, well, I guess recently incorporated area of sant 118 00:06:07,839 --> 00:06:10,960 Speaker 4: of Pinal County is Santana Valley, and the Sheriff's office 119 00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:15,440 Speaker 4: currently is responsible for patrolling that. And we had a 120 00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:19,040 Speaker 4: seventeen year old girl. The crash happened at seven to 121 00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:22,320 Speaker 4: eleven in the morning and school started at seven p fifteen, 122 00:06:22,760 --> 00:06:25,880 Speaker 4: and she was late for school. She was ninety two 123 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,039 Speaker 4: miles an hour at the time of impact of the 124 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,960 Speaker 4: collision in a posted thirty five mile per hour residential 125 00:06:32,960 --> 00:06:35,800 Speaker 4: street and she was just late for school and she 126 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:40,000 Speaker 4: absently not a fatal collision, but she absolutely changed the 127 00:06:40,040 --> 00:06:44,880 Speaker 4: trajectory of her life in that collision, seriously injured, flown 128 00:06:44,960 --> 00:06:50,760 Speaker 4: to a local hospital for very serious medical conditions, and 129 00:06:50,800 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 4: the injuries that resulted in that crash. I mean ninety 130 00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,840 Speaker 4: two miles an hour. No one a on a surface 131 00:06:55,880 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 4: street expects to have a vehicle coming out them at 132 00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:03,120 Speaker 4: nearly the posted speed, lining right, and there's no way 133 00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,279 Speaker 4: to anticipate that. And someone made a left turn in 134 00:07:06,279 --> 00:07:07,800 Speaker 4: front of her and that was it. 135 00:07:08,040 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 1: Are there are the cars, I don't want to say 136 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:15,400 Speaker 1: more powerful today, But is it easier to speed because 137 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:17,840 Speaker 1: you don't you're so separate from the feel of the road. 138 00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:20,160 Speaker 1: You know.

It's a it's really I mean, it's 151 00:07:56,480 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 4: a great, incredibly fast car that is not a car. 152 00:08:00,880 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 4: It is a car that is available to the general public. 153 00:08:03,480 --> 00:08:05,760 Speaker 4: It's you can order one from Ford and have it 154 00:08:05,760 --> 00:08:11,080 Speaker 4: delivered and drive it around.

What do they do wrong? 209 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:14,280 Speaker 4: It's it's a hard fifty to fifty between speeding and 210 00:11:14,360 --> 00:11:17,719 Speaker 4: driving while of distracted I really, I mean it's I 211 00:11:17,800 --> 00:11:23,080 Speaker 4: we see so many collisions that are preventable from distracted driving. 212 00:11:23,160 --> 00:11:26,000 Speaker 4: I mean, people just looking at their phones. It's it. 213 00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,199 Speaker 4: It's I mean, that's it. Texting and driving watching YouTube TikTok. 214 00:11:30,760 --> 00:11:32,199 Speaker 4: You know, I mean, I don't even want to watching 215 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:34,880 Speaker 4: Fridays or Frank when they're driving. And you know that's 216 00:11:34,880 --> 00:11:38,280 Speaker 4: a big ask. Yeah, but that's I really think that 217 00:11:38,280 --> 00:11:41,280 Speaker 4: that's it. I think in today's day and age, you know, 218 00:11:41,480 --> 00:11:45,000 Speaker 4: probably probably in the last ten years, that's we've seen 219 00:11:45,080 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 4: some absolutely hillacious crashes that were the result of someone 220 00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:54,360 Speaker 4: not looking through their six foot wide windshield but looking 221 00:11:54,440 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 4: at a much smaller window on their phone. 222 00:11:57,000 --> 00:11:59,679 Speaker 1: You know, I see people while I'm commuting them, you know, 223 00:12:00,120 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 1: eighty seven here in New Jersey, and you look over 224 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:05,400 Speaker 1: at the guy next to you. He's watching he's watching 225 00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:10,199 Speaker 1: his phone, he's watching TV basically while he's driving. 226 00:12:10,880 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 4: Yep. And I absolutely believe it. 227 00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,640 Speaker 1: And I think there's a number somewhere that you know, 228 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,080 Speaker 1: at the difference between being distracted at twenty miles an 229 00:12:20,080 --> 00:12:23,960 Speaker 1: hour versus sixty miles an hour for a seconds, there's 230 00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: an exponential curve of you know, your reaction time and 231 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:31,240 Speaker 1: how much easier it is to get into trouble that 232 00:12:31,760 --> 00:12:34,560 Speaker 1: you know, it's you just don't want to do it, So, 233 00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,559 Speaker 1: you know, is it is it we want to practice 234 00:12:38,600 --> 00:12:41,880 Speaker 1: more defensive driving? Do we want to anticipate the other driver. 235 00:12:42,880 --> 00:12:45,480 Speaker 1: Are there warning signs that we think? I mean, we all, 236 00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:47,160 Speaker 1: you know, curse and jump up and down and go. 237 00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:50,320 Speaker 1: That guy drives like you know, he's terrible. You know, 238 00:12:50,600 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: what are the things you see people doing? What tips 239 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:55,360 Speaker 1: you off? If somebody is not speeding, how do you 240 00:12:55,400 --> 00:12:56,280 Speaker 1: know they're distracted? 241 00:12:57,840 --> 00:12:59,600 Speaker 4: And a lot of it's you know, as you're driving 242 00:12:59,640 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 4: down there. And again, you know, I drive down the 243 00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:04,600 Speaker 4: road and I watch the movement of vehicles on the roadway, 244 00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:06,440 Speaker 4: so it's you know, I kind of I do it 245 00:13:06,440 --> 00:13:09,400 Speaker 4: for a living, so it comes second nature. But we've all, 246 00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 4: in any capacity've been driving down the road and looked 247 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 4: at someone went, I bet that guy's thrunk. You know, 248 00:13:16,120 --> 00:13:19,480 Speaker 4: you just you see him making abrupt you know, like 249 00:13:19,520 --> 00:13:21,960 Speaker 4: you said, he's looking at the phone, he's distracted, almost 250 00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:25,079 Speaker 4: hit something. You know, sees a you know, in an 251 00:13:25,160 --> 00:13:29,120 Speaker 4: abrupt wheel movement or vehicle movement, drifting out of their lanes, 252 00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:33,360 Speaker 4: almost side swipes another car driving really slow. There goes man, 253 00:13:33,400 --> 00:13:35,520 Speaker 4: what's going on with that? And you pull up next 254 00:13:35,559 --> 00:13:38,559 Speaker 4: to him and like you said, sure as the sunshine 255 00:13:38,559 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 4: and today, yeah, they get up next to him and 256 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:44,520 Speaker 4: they are looking at their phone, you know, fuxing around 257 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 4: with something, watching videos, whatever it is, and it is 258 00:13:49,400 --> 00:13:52,320 Speaker 4: just and I think that as we see that, and 259 00:13:52,360 --> 00:13:56,200 Speaker 4: we see that potential for someone that's driving distracted, I 260 00:13:56,200 --> 00:14:00,200 Speaker 4: think creating distance between them, you know, letting them get 261 00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 4: off in front of you and let them go about 262 00:14:03,160 --> 00:14:06,240 Speaker 4: your way, but not certainly not trying to get you know, 263 00:14:06,320 --> 00:14:09,839 Speaker 4: stay in close proximity to them where their distraction could 264 00:14:09,840 --> 00:14:12,160 Speaker 4: be the catalyst of a collision. 265 00:14:12,640 --> 00:14:16,760 Speaker 1: Is it effective to report them? If I see somebody 266 00:14:16,960 --> 00:14:20,720 Speaker 1: driving erradically, speeding whatever, as long as I can get 267 00:14:20,720 --> 00:14:24,440 Speaker 1: the plate, I generally will call it in, you know, 268 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:26,280 Speaker 1: say hey, so and so look out for the you know, 269 00:14:26,400 --> 00:14:29,040 Speaker 1: gray whatever you know plate one, two, three, four, five six. 270 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,480 Speaker 1: Is that effective? Do the Do the police want that? 271 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:34,680 Speaker 1: Or we are we bothering them in a sense because 272 00:14:34,680 --> 00:14:36,200 Speaker 1: how many of these do they get in a day? 273 00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 4: We I like ones that are really good, you know, 274 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,400 Speaker 4: I mean, someone drifts out of their lane one time. 275 00:14:44,440 --> 00:14:46,600 Speaker 4: I don't want everyone calling the cops saying, hey, this 276 00:14:46,640 --> 00:14:49,080 Speaker 4: guy just drifted out of his lane. But you know, 277 00:14:49,120 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 4: if you're like you said, you're driving down the road, 278 00:14:51,080 --> 00:14:53,240 Speaker 4: you're just happen to be traveling in the same direction 279 00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:55,440 Speaker 4: and you're watching a guy in front of you for 280 00:14:55,560 --> 00:14:58,280 Speaker 4: two or three miles and he's bouncing from one lane 281 00:14:58,280 --> 00:15:01,720 Speaker 4: to another, you know, drives off the rod into the dirt. Yeah. Absolutely, 282 00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,160 Speaker 4: I think that person absolutely needs to be called in. See, 283 00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 4: you know, you're in Jersey. New Jersey State troopers are awesome. 284 00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 4: You guys got a great state police there. You know, say, hey, 285 00:15:11,200 --> 00:15:14,040 Speaker 4: I got a vehicle, you know, northbound and it is 286 00:15:14,160 --> 00:15:17,880 Speaker 4: it is all over the road if nothing else, even 287 00:15:17,880 --> 00:15:21,560 Speaker 4: if the person is stone cold sober and just distracted, 288 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:24,600 Speaker 4: or maybe they're drowsy, you know, maybe they're having a 289 00:15:24,640 --> 00:15:27,760 Speaker 4: medical issue. It's all sorts of issues that cause really 290 00:15:27,800 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 4: poor driving that aren't you know, that aren't nefarious, right, 291 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 4: But having that person contacted by law enforcement might change 292 00:15:37,320 --> 00:15:40,600 Speaker 4: their mind about. Man, someone called me in as a 293 00:15:40,640 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 4: drunk driver, you know, and I'm not a drunk driver. 294 00:15:43,320 --> 00:15:45,800 Speaker 4: I'm just you know, stone cold sober. But maybe I 295 00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:48,040 Speaker 4: shouldn't be having my nose in my phone while I'm 296 00:15:48,080 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 4: driving down the road. Yeah, So that could be a 297 00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,040 Speaker 4: catalyst of change for someone simply having contact. 298 00:15:53,640 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: With law enforcements and try and get the plate. Obviously, 299 00:15:56,640 --> 00:15:59,760 Speaker 1: the color of the vehicle, which which way we're going. 300 00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:02,720 Speaker 1: Maybe mile marker. Mile marker is always a good one. 301 00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:06,560 Speaker 4: Right, yeah, mile markers. Intersections we get them a lot here, 302 00:16:06,800 --> 00:16:08,600 Speaker 4: you know, where it's like, hey, we're at this intersection 303 00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,320 Speaker 4: and we're heading in this direction, okay, right, you know, 304 00:16:11,360 --> 00:16:13,240 Speaker 4: and a lot of a lot of law enforcement officers 305 00:16:13,640 --> 00:16:16,920 Speaker 4: or agencies dispatchers will say don't follow the car. A 306 00:16:16,960 --> 00:16:19,120 Speaker 4: lot of times she's like, look, i'm driving down the road. 307 00:16:19,160 --> 00:16:21,160 Speaker 4: I'm going home. You know, he just happens to be 308 00:16:21,200 --> 00:16:22,760 Speaker 4: in front of me. But this guy's going to kill 309 00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 4: someone if he crosses the center line. You might want 310 00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,080 Speaker 4: to get a you know, get a deputy sheriff, get 311 00:16:27,080 --> 00:16:29,240 Speaker 4: a trooper, get a you know, get a police officer 312 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 4: out here, and you know, and contact them and make 313 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,080 Speaker 4: sure those guys okay to drive well. 314 00:16:34,120 --> 00:16:38,120 Speaker 1: And I see that because the decisions we seem to 315 00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,160 Speaker 1: be making behind the wheel, As you said earlier in 316 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:44,160 Speaker 1: our conversation, that young girl at was seventeen doing ninety 317 00:16:44,160 --> 00:16:47,280 Speaker 1: two in a school zone. You know, she's changed, she's 318 00:16:47,400 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: changed her life forever, and it's over in a blink, 319 00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:52,120 Speaker 1: in the blink of an eye. 320 00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:53,200 Speaker 4: You know. 321 00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:55,680 Speaker 1: Around here, we like to say that the road downhill 322 00:16:55,760 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: is paved with ice and once you get going, it's 323 00:16:57,560 --> 00:17:03,800 Speaker 1: a real slippery slope and it just accelerates. Yep. Yeah, 324 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:07,119 Speaker 1: you know. I liked I look at some of the 325 00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,040 Speaker 1: things that the younger drivers get into, not as you say, 326 00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:13,480 Speaker 1: paint the whole generation with that brush, but the drivers 327 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:17,280 Speaker 1: that are driving with no license and moms sitting next 328 00:17:17,280 --> 00:17:22,040 Speaker 1: to him, and Mom's like, well, he's driving on my license. Well, no, 329 00:17:22,240 --> 00:17:23,639 Speaker 1: he's not. 330 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:27,160 Speaker 4: Not the way it's not the way the law works, right, uh. 331 00:17:27,880 --> 00:17:30,359 Speaker 1: You know, And I think that's something that the younger 332 00:17:30,400 --> 00:17:33,080 Speaker 1: generation has to realize. I always say when it comes 333 00:17:33,119 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: time to picking a vehicle for that for this generation, 334 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:38,840 Speaker 1: I always like to put him in something antalock brakes, 335 00:17:39,119 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 1: you know, full seatbelts, airbags, and the least amount of technology, 336 00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:47,359 Speaker 1: because the less distracted they are, the safer they are. 337 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,200 Speaker 1: Because I wanted to come home, you know, I want 338 00:17:50,240 --> 00:17:52,560 Speaker 1: them to come home. So hey, Frank, we're gonna pull 339 00:17:52,600 --> 00:17:54,600 Speaker 1: over when we come back. I want to talk a 340 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:57,560 Speaker 1: little bit about when you get pulled over for you know, 341 00:17:57,680 --> 00:18:01,520 Speaker 1: maybe something simple, maybe something really ugly. What's the best 342 00:18:01,560 --> 00:18:03,320 Speaker 1: way to do that? You know, what what can we 343 00:18:03,359 --> 00:18:05,720 Speaker 1: do to make the officer feel more comfortable. What's the 344 00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:07,720 Speaker 1: best way, you know for us to be safe? So 345 00:18:08,000 --> 00:18:09,639 Speaker 1: you know a lot of things can happen there, so 346 00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:11,920 Speaker 1: you sit tight think about that. I'm Ronning Andy and 347 00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:14,520 Speaker 1: the car Doctor. I am here with with Deputy Frank 348 00:18:14,560 --> 00:18:17,360 Speaker 1: Slope from the Penel County Sheriff's Office. We'll return right 349 00:18:17,400 --> 00:19:14,560 Speaker 1: after this. Don't go lad hell wrong? 350 00:19:18,440 --> 00:19:18,840 Speaker 4: Right. 351 00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:36,520 Speaker 1: Well, if you've been listening up to this point, or 352 00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,439 Speaker 1: maybe you're just joining us, this is Ronanani and the 353 00:19:39,440 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: Car Doctor. I am here with Deputy Frank Slope of 354 00:19:42,440 --> 00:19:45,920 Speaker 1: the Penell County Sheriff's Office, and we're talking a lot 355 00:19:45,960 --> 00:19:48,840 Speaker 1: of different things with regarding how you're driving your automobile, 356 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: the things you may or may not be doing wrong, 357 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,359 Speaker 1: what to watch for when you're driving. And when we 358 00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: pulled over for the pause, Frank, I left you with 359 00:19:56,359 --> 00:19:59,560 Speaker 1: a question, right, We wanted to talk about you get 360 00:19:59,640 --> 00:20:04,640 Speaker 1: pulled up over something serious, something minor, whatever. What can 361 00:20:04,720 --> 00:20:07,480 Speaker 1: people do? Maybe they I don't want to say get 362 00:20:07,480 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: them out of the ticket, because I think if you 363 00:20:08,800 --> 00:20:10,199 Speaker 1: did it, you did the crime. You got to do 364 00:20:10,240 --> 00:20:13,040 Speaker 1: the time. But how do we make the officer more comfortable? 365 00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,240 Speaker 4: I think a lot of it starts just immediately with 366 00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,040 Speaker 4: the stop sequence. You know, you look, you look behind you, 367 00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:24,800 Speaker 4: red and blues. Immediately start looking for somewhere, somewhere safe 368 00:20:24,800 --> 00:20:27,439 Speaker 4: to pull over. Don't dynamite your brakes. You don't have 369 00:20:27,480 --> 00:20:29,760 Speaker 4: to pull over within five feet of when you got 370 00:20:29,960 --> 00:20:32,679 Speaker 4: you know, the you see the red and blues. But 371 00:20:33,200 --> 00:20:38,480 Speaker 4: find somewhere close. Find somewhere that's safe for you to stop, 372 00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:41,719 Speaker 4: safe for the officer to stop, you know, acknowledge that 373 00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:45,120 Speaker 4: they're behind you. Maybe put your flashes on, maybe decrease 374 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:48,640 Speaker 4: your speed once you find somewhere. You know, if there's 375 00:20:48,640 --> 00:20:50,359 Speaker 4: a if there's a road right down the road and 376 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:52,680 Speaker 4: you know, a side street, turn in there. Maybe turn 377 00:20:52,720 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 4: into a parking lot. If you're gonna you know, pull 378 00:20:55,840 --> 00:20:57,879 Speaker 4: over on a shoulder. If there's a dirt shoulder and 379 00:20:57,920 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 4: you can get off the road, like on a highway, 380 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:00,840 Speaker 4: it's even better. 381 00:21:02,160 --> 00:21:04,520 Speaker 1: But get to the get to the get to the right. Right. 382 00:21:04,560 --> 00:21:07,880 Speaker 1: I've seen a couple of the right they pull over 383 00:21:07,920 --> 00:21:10,040 Speaker 1: into the middle of the middle of the highway and 384 00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:11,920 Speaker 1: the high speed lane, the fast lane to the left 385 00:21:11,960 --> 00:21:14,320 Speaker 1: that I'm like, knucklehead city. 386 00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:16,840 Speaker 4: You know, yeah, people are going by you at the 387 00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:18,919 Speaker 4: at the fastest speed. That's why you pull to the right, 388 00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:20,359 Speaker 4: and the car is on the right hand side of 389 00:21:20,440 --> 00:21:23,080 Speaker 4: going to the slowest on the road, so you want 390 00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:25,600 Speaker 4: to pull to the right. Once your car comes to 391 00:21:25,640 --> 00:21:29,720 Speaker 4: a stop, put your windows down, turn an interior light on, 392 00:21:30,640 --> 00:21:32,920 Speaker 4: keep your hands on this, keep keep your seat belt buckled. 393 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:37,320 Speaker 4: Take your seatbelt off because you know, then officer walks up, 394 00:21:37,640 --> 00:21:39,199 Speaker 4: you're not wearing your seat belt. Now you have to 395 00:21:39,200 --> 00:21:41,120 Speaker 4: have this argument about yeah, I was wearing my seat belt, 396 00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 4: but I took it off. Leave your seatbelt on, put 397 00:21:44,040 --> 00:21:46,439 Speaker 4: your hands on the steering wheel. Wat for the officer 398 00:21:46,480 --> 00:21:49,720 Speaker 4: to come up. They're going to introduce themselves. They're probably 399 00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:51,760 Speaker 4: going to ask you for your driver's license, your registration, 400 00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 4: and current proof insurance, having all of those, knowing where 401 00:21:55,359 --> 00:21:58,840 Speaker 4: they are. I play a game all the time on 402 00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:02,000 Speaker 4: the side of the road with people, and that game 403 00:22:02,119 --> 00:22:05,919 Speaker 4: is what's the password to get into my insurance policy app? 404 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 4: So be familiar with that. Be familiar with how to 405 00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 4: get into your app, where your ID cards are within 406 00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:17,159 Speaker 4: the app, where your registration paperwork is. You know you 407 00:22:17,160 --> 00:22:19,760 Speaker 4: don't You don't necessarily have to have a conversation with them. 408 00:22:19,960 --> 00:22:23,080 Speaker 4: You can you know, some officers might tell you why 409 00:22:23,119 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 4: they pulled you over, Others might not. It's not really required, 410 00:22:27,359 --> 00:22:28,720 Speaker 4: so a lot of it, you know, it was kind 411 00:22:28,720 --> 00:22:30,040 Speaker 4: of follow the lead of the officer. 412 00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:33,320 Speaker 1: And you know, is it is it the duty of 413 00:22:33,359 --> 00:22:36,920 Speaker 1: the officer to educate or just issue the ticket or 414 00:22:36,960 --> 00:22:38,320 Speaker 1: is that the officer's choice. 415 00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 4: I believe it's it's on every stop there is there's 416 00:22:42,320 --> 00:22:45,320 Speaker 4: some some level of education is going to happen, and 417 00:22:45,359 --> 00:22:48,320 Speaker 4: a lot of times it depends on the officer. You know, 418 00:22:48,800 --> 00:22:51,879 Speaker 4: I gave a lot more education when I wasn't in 419 00:22:51,920 --> 00:22:55,720 Speaker 4: the traffic unit. I issue a lot more citations now 420 00:22:55,720 --> 00:22:59,160 Speaker 4: because it's my job to change behavior with the issuance 421 00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,639 Speaker 4: of traffic citation. That is part of my job, and 422 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:05,720 Speaker 4: it is a mantra that my boss very very aggressively 423 00:23:05,800 --> 00:23:06,240 Speaker 4: believes in. 424 00:23:06,640 --> 00:23:06,840 Speaker 1: Right. 425 00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:11,399 Speaker 4: So, but I, I mean, I educate every single day 426 00:23:11,680 --> 00:23:14,439 Speaker 4: I pull someone over, I don't write them a ticket 427 00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,320 Speaker 4: for something, and I educate them on some nuance of 428 00:23:18,359 --> 00:23:21,320 Speaker 4: Arizona motor vehicle law that they're not aware of. And 429 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 4: I and I did that a lot when I was 430 00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:26,320 Speaker 4: just a regular patrol deputy. I outstop people for the 431 00:23:26,320 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 4: most innocuous violations simply to let them know, like, hey, 432 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,440 Speaker 4: you can't taint your tail lights. You know that's in Arizona. 433 00:23:33,520 --> 00:23:35,800 Speaker 4: That's legal, right. You know, you have to have you know, 434 00:23:35,880 --> 00:23:38,800 Speaker 4: both of the lights that are equipped on each side 435 00:23:38,800 --> 00:23:41,199 Speaker 4: of your license plate. You need to be functioning when 436 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:43,159 Speaker 4: it's you know, when the sun's down. You know, you 437 00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 4: can't have stuff you can't drive with your handicap placard 438 00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:48,840 Speaker 4: hanging from your window, hanging for your rear of your mirror. 439 00:23:49,119 --> 00:23:51,560 Speaker 4: It obstructs your view through your windshield and it actually 440 00:23:51,600 --> 00:23:53,440 Speaker 4: says it on the top of the handicap placketor it 441 00:23:53,440 --> 00:23:56,159 Speaker 4: says removed people driving. So I'll stop people for stuff 442 00:23:56,200 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 4: like that all the time, just to give them a 443 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,000 Speaker 4: warning for it and just say, hey, you might not 444 00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:04,400 Speaker 4: know this, but he's a bit of you know, here's 445 00:24:04,440 --> 00:24:05,800 Speaker 4: a bit of education, and here. 446 00:24:05,880 --> 00:24:09,360 Speaker 1: And here's how to stay safe and and and get 447 00:24:09,359 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: to where you're going. Have you ever had the you know, 448 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:13,879 Speaker 1: I have to ask this question. You know, have you 449 00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:16,600 Speaker 1: ever had the guy who's speeding and he's going to 450 00:24:16,640 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: the hospital and she's in the back seat having the 451 00:24:19,359 --> 00:24:21,200 Speaker 1: you know, have you ever had the pring them I'm 452 00:24:21,240 --> 00:24:22,480 Speaker 1: really having a baby. 453 00:24:22,160 --> 00:24:24,320 Speaker 4: Thing in my career, I had that. Yeah, I had 454 00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:30,120 Speaker 4: a woman and she was I actually I drove at 455 00:24:29,440 --> 00:24:34,600 Speaker 4: a legal speed to the hospital and because I wanted 456 00:24:34,640 --> 00:24:36,199 Speaker 4: to make sure that she was that she was going 457 00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:37,560 Speaker 4: to have a baby, because if not, I was going 458 00:24:37,640 --> 00:24:41,560 Speaker 4: to arrest that guy for for false information. But yeah, 459 00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:44,040 Speaker 4: we got there to the emergency room, she had a 460 00:24:44,040 --> 00:24:46,720 Speaker 4: baby there and and I let him off with a 461 00:24:46,880 --> 00:24:50,080 Speaker 4: with a break for speeding. But yeah, very early on 462 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:52,040 Speaker 4: in my I mean I was like probably less than 463 00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:54,600 Speaker 4: one year on and I had that happen. Kid, This 464 00:24:54,720 --> 00:24:56,440 Speaker 4: is crazy and it hasn't happened since. 465 00:24:56,520 --> 00:24:57,920 Speaker 1: So you haven't delivered any babies. 466 00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:03,520 Speaker 4: I have not delivered a baby, could you? Oh? Absolutely? Yeah. 467 00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:06,440 Speaker 4: I was a I was an EMT during my during 468 00:25:06,440 --> 00:25:08,760 Speaker 4: a portion of my career, So I've got all sorts 469 00:25:08,760 --> 00:25:09,439 Speaker 4: of good stuff for that. 470 00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:12,680 Speaker 1: So when they when when when somebody gets pulled over 471 00:25:13,320 --> 00:25:15,840 Speaker 1: and you know, the interior light doesn't go on, if 472 00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:17,600 Speaker 1: it's dark out, if it's at night time, and the 473 00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,560 Speaker 1: windows don't go down, and their hands aren't on their 474 00:25:19,600 --> 00:25:23,080 Speaker 1: steering wheel, is it automatic with with an officer, Frank? 475 00:25:23,200 --> 00:25:25,199 Speaker 1: Is it automatic with you? Do you do you handle 476 00:25:25,240 --> 00:25:27,440 Speaker 1: that differently? Do you you know is there a is 477 00:25:27,480 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: there a level? You know, is it defcon one, two, three, 478 00:25:30,040 --> 00:25:33,120 Speaker 1: four five or do you go right? You know, because 479 00:25:33,119 --> 00:25:34,359 Speaker 1: you got to be safe. You don't know what to 480 00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: expect at this point. It's it's maybe it's two o'clock 481 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,400 Speaker 1: in the morning, maybe it's two o'clock in the afternoon, 482 00:25:38,440 --> 00:25:40,119 Speaker 1: but it's not going the way you expect it. 483 00:25:41,040 --> 00:25:43,960 Speaker 4: Absolutely, and yeah, it definitely makes the hair on your 484 00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 4: next stand up, you know, and especially like when a 485 00:25:46,040 --> 00:25:49,159 Speaker 4: window doesn't come down. It's the worst when the driver's 486 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:52,480 Speaker 4: side door flies open, because that's you know, that's that's 487 00:25:52,480 --> 00:25:56,120 Speaker 4: how that's how a lot of bad scenarios start. Right. 488 00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:59,560 Speaker 4: So it's yeah, yeah, it definitely you know, it makes 489 00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:04,160 Speaker 4: you uh, you know, it certainly puts you not as 490 00:26:04,320 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 4: much at ease as it would be if the like 491 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:10,760 Speaker 4: I said, all of the the other aforementioned things happen, 492 00:26:10,840 --> 00:26:13,720 Speaker 4: windows go down, light comes on. You know, person's just 493 00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:15,480 Speaker 4: sitting there with their hands in their steering wheel wait 494 00:26:15,520 --> 00:26:17,320 Speaker 4: for you to come up. But you know, sometimes it said, 495 00:26:17,320 --> 00:26:19,520 Speaker 4: you know, sometimes your window doesn't roll down, and that's fine, 496 00:26:19,640 --> 00:26:21,520 Speaker 4: you know, it's that's not a big deal. Keep your 497 00:26:21,560 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 4: hands on the steering wheel. When the officer walks up, 498 00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,720 Speaker 4: he's obviously going to see you, you know, with your 499 00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:28,840 Speaker 4: hands on your steering wheel, and you can motion like, hey, 500 00:26:28,840 --> 00:26:30,960 Speaker 4: my window doesn't go down. But then you know he 501 00:26:31,040 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 4: sees that your hands, you know you don't have a weapon, 502 00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:36,160 Speaker 4: and then you can slowly open the door and say, hey, 503 00:26:36,200 --> 00:26:37,840 Speaker 4: my window doesn't go down, but I didn't want to 504 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:42,160 Speaker 4: jump out of my car. Just having that conversation puts 505 00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:44,760 Speaker 4: an off third ease because then it's then they understand 506 00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:47,400 Speaker 4: that when the door comes open, that it's not an 507 00:26:47,440 --> 00:26:50,200 Speaker 4: active aggression, right, simply an act of Hey, this is 508 00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:51,640 Speaker 4: a better way to communicate with you. 509 00:26:51,760 --> 00:26:54,359 Speaker 1: My window doesn't roll down, well, and you have the listen, 510 00:26:54,359 --> 00:26:57,000 Speaker 1: you have the problem because I've watched the videos Fridays 511 00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,800 Speaker 1: with Frank and you know, are you Friday with Are 512 00:26:59,800 --> 00:27:01,840 Speaker 1: you Frank with Frank. 513 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,320 Speaker 4: All the time?

That's that's really 526 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:42,320 Speaker 4: that doesn't seem to matter. But I mean I have. 527 00:27:42,560 --> 00:27:45,080 Speaker 4: I take just as many pictures with people that I 528 00:27:45,119 --> 00:27:46,840 Speaker 4: write tickets to as I give warnings there. 529 00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: You know, one of the things I see you doing. 530 00:27:49,480 --> 00:27:51,280 Speaker 1: I don't know if this is a Panell County thing 531 00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:53,720 Speaker 1: in our last minute for this segment, if this is 532 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,080 Speaker 1: a panel County thing, or if it's nationwide.

Right. So, I think 596 00:31:12,400 --> 00:31:14,120 Speaker 4: that's one of that's one of the big things. I 597 00:31:14,120 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 4: think turning let me tell you to talk about safety. 598 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:22,840 Speaker 4: It is we see so so many collisions happen while 599 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:25,840 Speaker 4: vehicles are turning left. And actually the collision I told 600 00:31:25,880 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 4: you about with that girl going ninety two and a 601 00:31:28,480 --> 00:31:31,040 Speaker 4: thirty five, she collided into someone that made a left 602 00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,280 Speaker 4: turn in front of her. Wow. So it's I'm telling 603 00:31:34,320 --> 00:31:37,840 Speaker 4: you left turns and intersections, left turns. You know, at 604 00:31:37,880 --> 00:31:40,680 Speaker 4: lights where you know you're you think a person's gonna stop, 605 00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:42,760 Speaker 4: you make your left, they decide to blow through the light. 606 00:31:43,200 --> 00:31:46,720 Speaker 4: Foam there's a collision. That's that's one of the biggest things. 607 00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:49,960 Speaker 1: So there's there's a sequence at an intersection, right, Frank, 608 00:31:50,040 --> 00:31:53,640 Speaker 1: you're supposed to look left, right, left before you make 609 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:54,280 Speaker 1: that left turn. 610 00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:59,280 Speaker 4: Yep, that's it. Yeah, And it's again, they're distracted by 611 00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:01,800 Speaker 4: something in a rush, they're trying to beat the light, 612 00:32:01,880 --> 00:32:04,480 Speaker 4: they're you know, whatever it may be. Where they don't 613 00:32:04,960 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 4: you know, they they don't take the time to clear 614 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:10,400 Speaker 4: the intersection to be a good defensive driver. And I 615 00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:12,840 Speaker 4: think that's that's the number one thing is if you're 616 00:32:12,840 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 4: a defensive driver. A lot of people on motorcycles drive 617 00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,800 Speaker 4: very defensively, you know. And I mean I work with 618 00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,000 Speaker 4: a squad of guys that ride motorcycles for a living, 619 00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:23,360 Speaker 4: and they say, Man, you got to be out there 620 00:32:23,400 --> 00:32:26,360 Speaker 4: like everyone is trying to run you over, right, and 621 00:32:26,400 --> 00:32:29,160 Speaker 4: you need you need to look at every single driver. 622 00:32:29,280 --> 00:32:32,080 Speaker 4: I look at drivers even more than looking at cars. 623 00:32:32,120 --> 00:32:33,920 Speaker 4: I look at drivers to see if they see me, 624 00:32:33,960 --> 00:32:36,080 Speaker 4: because you could see if someone's distracted in the car. 625 00:32:36,800 --> 00:32:37,600 Speaker 4: And that's a big one. 626 00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:41,000 Speaker 1: Yeah. What advice, you know, parents trying to teach their 627 00:32:41,080 --> 00:32:43,880 Speaker 1: kids how to drive, you know, what do you think 628 00:32:43,960 --> 00:32:46,640 Speaker 1: should they hire a driving instructor. Is that easier? 629 00:32:47,000 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 4: Yeah, right, absolutely, And I'm telling I'll tell you why. 630 00:32:49,640 --> 00:32:53,560 Speaker 4: It's because a driving instructor could say the same exact 631 00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:57,080 Speaker 4: thing that mom or dad would say, but it's going 632 00:32:57,160 --> 00:32:59,520 Speaker 4: to be received differently because it didn't come from mom 633 00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:02,480 Speaker 4: or dad. Right, I'm telling you right now, get get 634 00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:05,080 Speaker 4: a driving instructor, someone that does it for a living, 635 00:33:05,520 --> 00:33:08,960 Speaker 4: that explains things for a living. Have them watched Fridays 636 00:33:08,960 --> 00:33:11,200 Speaker 4: with Frank.
