Instead of being mad at the cop, you should just consider yourself lucky for the following reasons:

1. Your son is okay
2. Your okay
3. The police officer didnt arrest you for not only a warrant but blatantly reckless driving.


So yea, other than the old man being mad at you, you had someone who likes you upstairs today.

Sorry to hear... Thank godness no one died, and that your son is safe and sound.

Rob'sAE

Believe me, I am not mad at the cop. I just wish he did a little more to fulfill his creed.

† ErV †

he did enough. he could have jailed you for the warrant and you would have never made it to the hospital.

and i would never leave my children with people who have abuse problems of whatever sorts. even if they were my own parents you know. i don't want my kids to hang around people with issues and wonder whats wrong with them.

that said i would have probably done the same. once the adrenaline kicks in, all reasoning is gone.

Lessons learned:

No matter what's going on, never go that fast. You have to stay cool. Your kids need you and what if you had gotten killed?

MaxedOutOfCash

Exactly. There was nothing you could have done at the ER. The doctors were taking care of him... But you or someone innocent on the road could have died...

In the end, he didn't end up getting there any quicker. Glad to see everything turned out ok though.

Hindsight is 20/20. These are all things I realize now. I have never been in a position where my family was in danger and I was not there. If something like this ever happens again I am most definatly doing some things different. There is most definetly a difference between fast and utterly stupid and dangerous.

damn thats some scary shit

i'm glad that your son is ok after that whole ordeal and that you didnt kill anyone trying to get there. hope it all works out with your family, but what you say is true, thats f'ed up what your father in law did (or didnt do in this case)

you should be very thankful that the cop didnt bust your ass right there and take you jail for wreckless endanjerment nevertheless having a warrant out in your name. get that shit taken care of man!

good luck with everything

Wow man, glad that everyone is alright. This reminds me of the time my dad passed out at work. I get a call from his work and I though he had a heart attack. I wasn't driving my max, but I was driving my family volvo, was doing close to 125-130 from my house in Lynnwood to Bellevue, which is about 20 miles. I never been to the hospital, but half way along they way, I was able to pull over a state trooper and he helped me find my way. Luckily I didn't kill anyone, or get in an accident. Either way, you definately have to keep your cool about it. Luckily for both of us, our loved ones was in the hands of professionals. It turned out my dad had a nasty diabetic attack, along with a heart palpitation. Pretty scary stuff. Either way best of luck throught the coming times with your family. I hope everything works out, and my sincere wishes.

sorry, but if i had a kid and he was in the er, and i was in my car or close to it at that time, i don't think there is anything in this world that would stop me from getting in and driving like a bat from hell to get to his side, seeing as it could possibly (God forbid) be the last time i'd see him. when it comes to family and emergencies, i don't think i could ever think straight or rationally....my baby brother once got run over by my dad's chauffeur because the maid didnt hold him as she had always been told to. We did a lot worse to get him to the hospital and all he has are stitches and scars to show for it thanks to the same chauffeur. personally, i don't think there is any rationality when it comes to family being hurt/in danger...Rob, i think you did what I, as well as many others (especially fathers) would have done. Thank God he is okay and that you are as well.

btw Rob, those houston freeways are the most dangerous i've ever been on....especially the 59 / 45 / I10 connections....scary..

lol besides that, glad that u and ur son are ok.

FanaticMadMax

WOW, that's some story. Sorry to hear about it. I can understand what you're talking about when it comes to childrens of your own. Especially something bad could happen. However, driving recklessly that's even frightening, that you could have killed yourself or other people in traffic. The best way is that your wife or your in-law could taken them to the emergency room so that way you can remain calm and be on the way. Your father in law, what an a$$hole. I would have given him a mindful about it.

Rob'sAE

My wife will not let me near his house or her brother...for very good reason. It will be a very long time before we see them again. The sad thing is we live 7 minutes from each other and we WERE over there every Sunday.

About your father in law, you should confront him and tell him he is not welcome to your home anymore. It will be something that you and your wife will have to deal with but her pops was straight wrong.

Rob good to see that you and your son are ok. As for you father-in-law that's not a way for a family to act. But by this time (i can understand), he's nothing to you. Sorry about that. I just hate irresponsible people that can't take responsiblities for their actions.

One more thing: I know that it might make things worst but are you going to take any action on your brother-in-law for those pills?

apbrian112

best of luck to you and your family... i'll keep your family in my prayers. thank God that everybody was ok.

No, I could have just copied and pasted. Not sure what the insurance company is going to do with it. I doubt they will total it, it really isn't that bad. My last accident at half the speed did 10x's more damage. It should be the begining of next week before I know better whats going on with the car.

Rob'sAE

I am not going to sue him or anything, but we have an "interview" with a police/cps investigator. What they decide to do is out of my hands. In no way am I going to ask for anything special as far as he is concerned.

ILoveMyMax

I understand your son, probably your pride and joy, was in trouble. However there is no need to do 120, what happened if u slammed into a VAn and killed a mother and 3 of her kids? Plz think about other people before acting so irrationally. If you would like to look from the Realistic point, their is nothing you can do physically at the hospital, 80 yes but 120 no. I am glad everyone is ok.
