It did give me something to do but I'm not so sure I want to waste my energy again.

Recently, I was informed that the CHP along with most other LE agencies are lacking in personel. Looks like a good time to get into Law Enforcement if that's your desire.

Have you called to report a drunk driver & if so, what was the outcome? :dunno

I'm on the road a lot at night, should I continue to put forth the effort? :headscratch

While it may appear it is a good time to go in you will have to check. Lots of times they have hiring freezes for extended periods of time. Budget concerns. SO, before you quit your day job, check and see if they are hiring.

I would call for sure, even if the only life I save is the drunks. People need to think b4 getting behind a ton of metal after having a few drinks. Best thing to do is think ahead and get a DD. Hell if ever anyone needs a ride home I would rather them call and wake me up rather than risk their life or the lives of innocent people

Sorry but I too have had the same lack of action after following these idiots down the highway (only because I am going the same way). I like the whole I freebie, then execution policy. Driving is dangerous enough!
