When you think you are above the law!

An off-duty police officer, familiar with radar guns,
drove through a school zone within the legal speed limit
when the flash of a camera went off, taking a picture of
his license plate.

The officer, thinking the radar was in error, drove by again;
even more slowly.  Another flash.  He did it again for a third
time, at an even slower speed.  Same result.

"This guy must have screwed up the settings," the off-duty
officer thought.

A few weeks later, when he received the violations in the mail,
he discovered three traffic tickets:

Each for not wearing a seat belt!

No Swearing in MD

Keep in mind while traveling through Rockville, Maryland, that the streets there are rated G. If you possess a PG-17 vocabulary, take the bypass. Swearing from a vehicle in Rockville is considered a misdemeanor.

No Burn-Outs in Kansas

In Derby, Kansas, it is considered a misdemeanor to screech your tires while driving. This abominable act can cost you 30 days in jail.

Why not?

Keep in mind while in Connecticut, this odd law before you paint your car orange or camouflage deco!

• No need to get your Lexus Sport Luxury Sedan painted blaze orange. Hunting from cars in Connecticut is illegal, even during deer season.

Alaska's Bizare Law

Today's bizarre law is from Alaska. My question for this one is, who did this to make it a law?!?!?!

• Contrary to public opinion roof racks are not specifically designed for skis, snowboards and cocker spaniels. Or at least not in Alaska, where authorities have found it necessary to declare it illegal to tether a dog to the roof of a car.

California Bizare Driving Laws

Keep these is mind while you are in California!

• No matter how luxuriously comfortable that divided highway may look, it is illegal in Eureka, California, to use a road as a bed.

• In order to save money on having to crop dust their streets, officials in Chico, California, have made it illegal to plant rutabagas in roadways.

• Officials in Glendale, California, no doubt, caved in to insurance lobbyists when they inexplicably decided to make it illegal to jump from a car at 65 mph.

• Don’t expect to find any salt-rimmed curbs in Hermosa Beach, California. Officials there have made it illegal to spill your Margarita on any street.

New Fleet?

Its the new Harley Davidson division of the Fleet Office? What do you think? Naa, its just two of the Public Safety Officers showing off their bikes. Officer Wojcik is on the red bike & Officer Ayers is on the other. Nice bikes though!

*********************

There is a very, very tall coconut tree and there are 4 animals, a Lion,
a Chimpanzee, a Giraffe, and a Squirrel, who pass by.

Howe Caverns

The Geology Department went on a great field trip over the weekend to the Howe Caverns in NY. They originally were schedule to go in February, but that pesky snow storm got in the way of their plans. So, the trip was able to go without any weather hitches this past weekend.

It looks like the group had a wonderful time and learned hands-on at the same time.

Take a look-

If you are planning a field trip for your class please think of the Fleet Office for transportation. There are fee's related to this adventure, but know you are in good hands.

Additional Fleet Vehicle?

Is this the next fleet van?

Drum Role Please.....

So, you have waited long enough find out which vehicle belongs to the fleet program from Fridays quiz. The answer is..................

The Mail Truck

The fleet program is in charge for more then "fleet vehicles". The fleet office orders, handles administrative paperwork for new vehicles and register all campus owned/leased vehicles .

Also, equipment that can be driven across (by driving) town streets has to be registered, so the fleet office also handles this task. This includes the John Deere Gators, High-Lifts or any other type of equipment you can think of.

Can you guess right?

OK, so how well do you know the fleet program? Can you guess which one IS the fleet "vehicle" from the pictures below? If you thing you know, leave your answer in the comment section. Check back on Monday for the answer!

A. The Fed Ex Truck

B. The Mail Truck

C. Auxiliary Services Buggy

D. PS Segway
