The definition of Irony: I followed an 18-wheeler for
over 100 miles today on the turnpike coming south from Orlando. This
truck was having significant difficulty in maintaining his lane of
travel. It was scary. He nearly lost control multiple times. So, I
called the Florida Highway Patrol to report this driver and to get a
Trooper to respond to follow the truck and decide for themselves if
they should make a traffic stop to check out the driver. TWICE. I also
actually stopped on the side of the road at one point and summoned a
Trooper who was sitting idle in his car off the highway. He had not
received my report about the truck "because it wasn't in his zone."
He took down the description of the truck and said he'd call it in too.
Would you believe that no Trooper ever showed up and the truck kept on
going south on the turnpike? For over 100 miles of distance and one
hour of time.
