Traffic School - 01/24/2025
Alright. Coming at us live from beautiful sunny Nevada, we've got the cops. What up, Lieutenant Crain? Oh, I tell you what, so shiny and bright. It's about, oh, 20 degrees warmer is off.
Yeah. But what are you looking at for the high? I bet it's gotta be, like, 60. I don't know. We're looking at a real big 55 degrees.
Oh, man. Yeah. You're really suffering over there. Is lieutenant Crane a snowbird? I think he's partial snowbird.
Yeah. He's got that place down. I won't say where, but he's got a place down where it's warmer. And, you know, he's getting old. You know, it hurts your hurt your brittle bones.
Oh, your skin gets thin as you as you age. I was gonna say it's due to age due to age. Yeah. Yeah. And, me and Peaches have talked about this a lot.
I mean, if I could afford it, I would definitely be a snowbird. See, I wouldn't have a house here. I would just go somewhere else and do the show. I mean, I I like, you know, some of the times of year around here a lot. It's like perfect.
But right now, you know, when I'm driving to work and it's 0, not a big fan. You know, I, I, I got out and like dealt with snow last week when it was like 8 and I, I didn't really like that. But at least, my cat has not, tried to run a runaway again recently. So not looking for a foster home. Nope.
Apparently not. She's, she's content for now. So that's why she was crying in the garage. He found her. Yes.
Ah, I was, I was, I was almost free. So listeners, 208-535-1015 is gonna be the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. You know, we're gonna take a break. But before we do that, you did have a question, Peaches. Yeah.
Melissa brought up a great point. You know, you know, the, 17th Street Bridge is closed in Idaho Falls. That's what I've heard. I just didn't go anywhere near it once I heard rumors. Yeah.
And people are, going through the Walmart parking lot, and Melissa says her roommate her her, like, her roommate's dad was, like, some sort of member of the police force over in Vegas. And she said her dad said that that is illegal to cut through a parking lot pretending it's a street. Now lieutenant Crane, correct me if I'm wrong, but that road in front of the M in Walmart, that is an actual road. It's not part of the parking lot because it connects to other roads. But I think I think people are using the actual entrance, like close to the entrance of the Walmart to cut through.
You know what we're talking about, Lieutenant Crane? You've been a pe you've been paying attention to this story? I have not at all, but I can tell you this, that you cannot use a parking lot for a a roadway, especially to cut corners out of, to avoid stoplights or stop signs or backup traffic. And I'm trying to think, but I think Ammon does have I don't know if it's, City Street or if it's just the way Walmart put the road in, but there is a road that goes around the parking lot itself. But who knows whether that's owned?
I don't know. I should say whether that's owned by Walmart or the city. Okay. Looking at the Google map. So, you know, the road that would go past Panda express in front of the Walmart gas station to the edge of the parking lot, It's labeled as Chase Wood Drive, and it looks like a road to me.
Like, it like a real road. It's probably the city then. And so, yeah, you could drive on that, but as he just says, you can't cut through the parking lot. That's what I'm assuming people are doing is that they're saying, oh, that road's too full. Let me just go ahead and quickly cut in front of the the entrance where people are walking in and out of the store.
That would take way longer. Pedestrian. Yeah. That seems like it would be way more inconvenient than just taking the road that's on the, outskirts of the parking lot. Have you seen how packed that street gets?
Not recently because when I heard it was a nightmare, I it was like, no. I'm not going. Well, no. It was already bad before they shut down the 17th Street Bridge, but now it's probably a whole lot worse. Oh, I'm sure it's terrible, but, you know, we're it I don't know what we do.
Looking here, it looks like there's an Ammon Extension Canal. I think that looks like a good spot to build a road and connect it to, the neighborhood there. Gray Fox Lane. Sorry, people. Deal with it.
Now you're an engineer trying trying to reroute the roads. I got a I got a plan as Dutch would say. Alright. Well, again, we'd probably have to talk with someone in the city, but it sure looks like a road on the map. So 208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates injury attorneys, lieutenant Crane coming at us live from the sunny desert.
And, how's how's everything going down where it's nice, my friend? Well, it's kinda tough because once we arrive past the state line, I have to start referring to my wife as El Presidente. Well, I've hung out with you guys. I know who's in charge. Alright.
Yeah. And believe me, I do too. That's right. That's right. So I I hope you're, gonna take her to do some fun things.
I know you don't tend to do any kind of, recreation. So it's it's good to hear that hopefully you're not working, but I would imagine there's gonna be some work involved in you going out of town. Yeah. There's gonna be a little bit for the president. Once we get that done, got a few little items to take care of, but then we hope we, can enjoy it for just a little bit.
All right. Well, I hope you have a great time and, you listeners, we're still doing the show. It's live. The phones are working. The studio's a disaster.
You've you've really missed out lieutenant Crane. We've been ripping this place apart and kind of, rearranging. Jade required us to move this large heavy cabinet from another studio in here yesterday. So I just started tearing everything off the walls and this place is a dis just a total dump. It's a it's a uplift.
It's a facelift. Yeah. For a quarter years. Yeah. So, you know, we'll, we'll see how it turns out in the end, but, for right now, I'm just like, oh geez.
Why did we, why did we do this? All right. Let's go to the phones here. Kay bear your live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this?
This is Kai. Kai. What's up? Hey. So, you guys just talked about 17th construction earlier, and I heard you guys talk about this before, and I just kinda wanted to remind everyone.
Is it illegal to turn right on a red arrow? Oh, Kai. You need to do this show because you know for sure that is exactly right. It is illegal to turn on the right arrow. No right on red arrow.
Only a round red bulb everybody. Did you win some money? Mention that. Did you win some money on a bet? Did you bet somebody and win some dough, Kai?
No. But I was talking about it with my husband yesterday, and I just wanted to confirm. Yes. I mean, I know it's annoying and inconvenient, but that's the law. He wants to jam it right back down his throat.
So yeah. Well, that's all I wanted. Alright, Kai. Well, we appreciate the call. I just wanted to be right.
Exactly. Exactly. Don't pick the fight. Don't pick the fight unless you know you're right. Exactly.
Well, thank you, Kai, and have a wonderful weekend. You as well. Thank you. See you. Bye.
208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates injury attorneys. Any questions you have about the law, we're happy to answer them. I mean, I know Lieutenant Crane, it seems like the, you know, legislature's busy, you know, doing all kinds of stuff. Is there anything like actually pertinent to people that's going on that we need to know about, any changes that, will affect the average person? I've nothing nothing major right now.
I was trying to think which one I was excited about that we were gonna hear, but that had to do with, the way we do case management and some things like that. So that wouldn't affect the public at all. So no. Nothing that I think is really major that would affect our driving or or the law right now. Okay.
There's always gonna be some things. And as we all know, those will come out and they'll go into effect July 1st. And so when we do hear what those are, we can talk about them on there. Okay. Alright.
Well, I was just curious if they were actually doing anything productive because I hadn't seen any other, but, Well, you haven't ran for office yet, so you know our wheels are still spinning in the mud. I don't. The only problem is that you have to give equal airtime to like your opposing candidates. So like, you know, if I, if I actually ran for office, I'd have to like, you know, have these bozos hanging out with me for 4 hours a day, every day. And it's a nightmare.
I it's, it's kind of messed up. I think that, people like me should be able to, you know, run for those kinds of things. I, I think we need to petition the FCC on this kind of thing, because I don't think it's fair. You know? They they've got social media, plenty of ways they can get their word out.
I mean, I'd be happy to have them come in and chat with me. That'd be fun. And equal airtime as I see it wouldn't be equal if you were to say, I'll be on my station. You pick another station because you're so much better and further progress that this would be fair to them. I know the only way they could get equal airtime would be to be on our station because they would have to hit every radio station aside from us in the market for 4 hours a day.
Like that's all they would do is live on the radio. So, yeah, it's, it's not fair. And I know the public would love to see a guy like me in the running, but that's, that's the rules, you know, Maybe they'll change one day. Alright, Peaches. Did you have another question?
The mic's off. Oh, there you go. All of his cabinets are full of shirts. Do we try my best to squeeze all of them into 2 of them? Yeah.
Okay. Yeah. There's a there's a ton of t shirts. Just, you know, set them flat? Very important question.
That's right. Set up set them flat, cram them in there. I mean, the best thing you could do is get in that cannonball van and go give them away. You know? Just get rid of them.
I was about to say I could drive to the homeless shelter and just give them a They would they could probably use a cannonball t shirt. Sure. I bet if you went and parked at a local business and, you know, threw it out on there, hey. Cannonball shirts were out on the streets. I'll I'll go park in front of the 17th Street Walmart and be like, hey.
Stop cutting in front of the store and then give him a t shirt. Just go block the road, you know? Yeah. I don't know. Go park in front of the advocate's office.
Would that be would that be an obstruction, lieutenant Crane, if I just parked the giant cannonball van in front of the store? I don't think it'd be an obstruct obstruction, but what I'm thinking is what a great opportunity to advertise Mount Cannonball. Ladies and gentlemen, it's below 0. It is cold. It's frigid.
Come out and see me live. It's a cannonball van, and I will give you a t shirt to warm you up. Yeah. I, I think it's a good idea. And then we have more storage to get all this crap that I don't wanna see hidden away.
So, yeah, I, I, I would assume Jade needs to give us the thumbs up, but I bet he would. I mean, we unloaded all our kbearer shirts, so why not? You know, they're, they're just collecting dust in the cabinet. Let's get them on some people. Yeah.
Listeners. What are you doing? 208-535-1015. It's traffic. It's weird how, when you're on the phone, Lieutenant crane people don't call anywhere near as much as if you're standing here.
Well, why don't we give a cannonball t shirt away to the one of the I was about to say, if anybody wants to show up and get a cannonball t shirt, I could try to get it. I can give them away. Call. Here's what I'm trying to figure out how we do this. Yeah.
Anybody who participates in the show today, we'll give them a cannonball shirt. Sound good? Fine with me. Alright. You're asking for my permission?
I'm like, dude, you're I don't You're you're in charge. I'm just throwing them out there as a as an idea. Anyone who participates in traffic school powered by the advocates, we will give you a cannonball t shirt. Do we have any other cannonball swag? Do we have hats?
We get 0 callers. Well, we we're on delay, so we gotta wait a second here. But do we have hats as well? I can check. I think the I seem to remember taking some of those out of the cabinet when I was, moving things in there yesterday.
So maybe you can have a hat or a t shirt, but you gotta call and participate in traffic school. Alright? Or you could just call because it's, you know, fun or Maybe. Fun. Maybe I just chuck all the Cannonball T shirts into the classy studio and say it's now your mess, Josh, and then run away.
But you're in charge of them. I don't think he's gonna go for it. Alright. Well, we can't even bribe the listeners today. K Bear, you're live on the show.
Keep that in mind. Who's this? Hi. My name is Kyson. How's it going?
Kyson doing good, man. What's your question for traffic school? Okay. So my wife and I are about to take a long trip to Boise, and people that don't use blinkers make me mad. Are you guys thinking about taking separate cars?
No. No. No. So you we have your kids along when you So I might take a separate car just because, But so if somebody doesn't use their blinker and merges into a lane and causes a wreck, it's their fault. Right?
Well, it is a contributing circumstance. Correct. Okay. Alright. I I've always wondered about that, so I figured I'd ask.
You know, I mean That would be a contributing circumstance. I would say the best bet is to get a dash cam so that you can see another car not turn the blinker on, and they just cut in front of you. You just send that right to the insurance. Oh, I guess that is true. Yeah.
I was watching a video on YouTube the other day about bicyclists, aggressive bikes, bicyclists. Oh, I hate this. And, I'm glad this is why I love the Idaho winter. They're not outside. They're looking for the plus.
The bugs are not out. That is a plus. So, yeah. I was like, man, having a dashcam because there was people, like, claiming they got hit by cars and stuff, but they they were just, you know, being turds. Were they all wearing the spandex outfits?
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. How much are those things? I feel like that's a total waste of money. Lieutenant Crane, how much does it cost to dress like that?
Does he have a does he have one? Sure. The only place I've seen that's in your closet, and I don't know why it was. Yeah. What are you doing?
Why are you looking in his closet? He's always trying to get me in trouble. He's always looking for something. He never finds anything, but he still gives me all this grief. Well, I mean, look at his look at his title.
That's true. That's true. And I guess it is his job. Don't invite, lieutenant over even if he's your friend. Alright, guys.
Thank you very much. Thanks, Kysen. And if, if you want a cannonball shirt, just stop by the studio. Alright. Thanks.
Alright. Thanks, man. Peace. And the other folks who are calling, call us back. 208-535-1015 for traffic school powered by the advocates.
Everyone who participates gets a free cannonball t shirt. And, I I just made that call and hopefully management is cool with it. Alright. Let's see. Were there any dumb questions I was going to ask you?
I usually usually got some, but I don't know. It's been a long week, lieutenant Crane. It's been kinda brutal. I can tell you this. In school, your teacher used to tell you there is no dumb questions, but believe me, after working in this occupation, there are some dumb questions.
K Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys. Who's this? Hey. It's Jordan. Jordan, I got a quest with him at Craig.
Sweet. What you got? Really have a question or a great need for a T shirt? I mean, either or, but I really do have a question. So a couple of days ago, I got pulled over because my back windshield was frozen over.
But I'm also a delivery driver in one of those vans that don't have a back window. I was just curious about what exactly the ruling is about having a back window and not being able to see it through it. Well, you either have to have mirrors that can show you to the back or rearview mirror in the in the cab of the vehicle, a side rearview mirror on the driver's side or the passenger side, or windows in the back that are clear. So, yeah, the windows in the back that are clear is if you're using the rearview mirror inside the cab. Okay.
Okay. Yeah. I was just wondering because I've never been pulled over in my van for not having a bad rearview. Yeah. So I was just curious what exactly those rules were.
Yeah. Your rearview mirrors on your passenger door and your driver's door probably iced over too. Okay. Thanks for that. I was gonna say, you know, it sounded like the officer just wanted to pull you over if it was just the back window.
He was just being a pain in my Well, say rear. Rear. Well, it You know there's real crime going on out there? Yeah, lieutenant Crane. Well, stop on by the studio.
Get yourself a Cannonball shirt. Appreciate you participating, man. Not a problem. Y'all have a good day. You too.
Peace. Alright. You're live on Traffic School. Who's this? This is Maddie.
Maddie, what's happening? So I had a question. I'm also a delivery driver, and I've had someone flash a gun at me for not driving fast enough. Is that like, how legal is that? Well, it's never legal to be flashing guns at anybody, whether you're driving slow, fast, erratic, or whatever.
So, yeah, that's not legal ever. Matter of fact, we just arrested a guy this week for, flashing a gun on I 15. So Oh. What is what is wrong with people? Jeez.
I don't even know. I was driving the speed limit, and I guess they were irritated. They couldn't get past me. And when they finally did, they flashed a gun at me. Wow.
Well, I'm sorry to hear that. You got nerves still, but this is when you wanna call 911. Okay. Yeah. Definitely.
You know, we need to make an example of these idiots. You know, they need to be on eastidahoneews.com. Definitely. Yeah. Well, glad that nothing, worse happened, Maddie.
And yeah. Next time, yeah. Call them in. Yeah. I definitely will.
Thank you. Hey, thanks for listening to the show. Have a good weekend. You too. Bye.
Bye. 208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. Yeah. There have been some, Kind of wild stories involving guns recently. I saw one in the news a couple days ago.
I don't remember where, but, somebody was getting a Instacart grocery delivery and, you know, couple hours later somebody's out in their driveway and just went out and shot them. They had their groceries and everything. Oh, gee. I'll tell you what. My wife's been using that, delivery service from the different stores of the house.
It's almost like Christmas. You go out there, the delivery's made like Christmas because you don't know what you're getting. You go open the packages, not what you ordered, but it is some stuff. Yeah. I gotta say, you know, when I get kind of manic and I'm like, alright.
I'm gonna do some eBay shopping for books. It's it's lots of fun when the packages just start rolling in. Alright. K Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this?
It's Justin. I'm a size extra large. Alright, Justin. Swing by. Get yourself a Cannonball 101 T shirt.
We're we're happy to hook it up. And, Maddie, who called a minute ago, swing by. We're happy to hook you up. I'm I'm just teasing. Another delivery driver calling in, though.
It's really a double extra large. I we might have some double XLs. It's cool. You know? And, we are, you know, being legit.
You you know, if you want a t shirt, you you earned it. Peaches is holding piles of them. There's also beanies. Oh, beanies too. Alright.
Alright. So my my question is, at what speed under the speed limit do you need to have your flashers on? So as a delivery driver, I you know, there's times where I'm going up hills and my truck can't go quite fast enough. And so if I'm going 10 under, I I usually will throw my cautions on. Is there, like, an actual set speed under the speed limit that I need to have my cautions on?
On our interstate and highways in, Idaho, we don't have a minimum speed limit. But I think you're wise that anytime you're under 10 or anywhere you think you're as you well know, most people are driving over the speed limit, to turn those cautions on for your own safety. And so, no, I I think use discretion, your own discretion on when that would be as we don't have a minimum speed limit. Okay. Because I've I've had times where I am going the posted speed limit.
I still have people pass me like I'm standing still, so I have my cautions on just because I know people are stupid. Yeah. Anytime you wanna be safe, there's no nothing wrong with that. Alright. Perfect.
Cool, man. Hey. Have a great weekend. Absolutely. Same to you guys.
Take care. Peace. Bye. Well, since we have all these delivery drivers calling in, I figure I could complain about them. I actually stop calling.
Yeah. Yeah. You know, I've had enough of with, you delivery drivers. No. No.
You're great. Thank you for delivering all my fun packages and lieutenant Cranes. But no, you know, with the increase in, population around here, I I've noticed like Amazon, UPS, you know, the US postal postal service on busy roads, you know, where there are houses, you know, and they gotta stop and make a delivery. Some of these places, you know, there may be no driveway to park in and things like that, and you get things backed up, you know, pretty bad at certain times of the day. When are we gonna go ahead and force anyone living on a main road to, you know, leave so we can tear their houses down, lieutenant Graham?
The government takeover. Just playing everybody. Just playing, just throwing cheap jabs to, kill time. You know? I I love our to rile people up.
Yeah. You know, I'm I love our delivery drivers and people who live on main roads. Kay Bear, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? Yeah.
This is Bronson. Bronson. What's up? I have a question. Do I get if if I, if I'm driving down the highway and I'm shooting some guy's shooting his gun at me and I slam into the sidewall, Do I have to turn on my blinker to get into the other lane?
I guess I'm trying to figure out what the sidewall is, but if somebody's shooting a gun at you, and see what you can do to save your life, without putting other people in danger would be a very wise thing to do. Number one thing to do would be call 911. Let, help be on their way. But, yeah. Whatever you need to do their fault then?
It should be in shot at. You still need you let's say yeah. There's there's a whole bunch to this. Right? But if you're being shot at, the number one thing to do is do what you need to do to make yourself safe.
Get help on the way. Get the problem eradicated. Sorry. I was halfway joking about that. I hope so.
And then I realized I realized that gun violence was not really something to laugh about. So I hope Well, nobody was laughing. I was like, yeah. Hey. If there's any place to laugh about gun violence, it's on the Victor Wilt Show, everybody.
So have a little chuckle. No. No. Gun violence is terrible. But, yeah, I I hope no one's getting shot at on our highways.
I have not seen that in the news. So hopefully everybody's doing okay out. It's too cold to roll down your window. So it is, but day, my advice to you would be don't drive anymore. Just stay home.
I was gonna ask what kind of bumper stickers are on your vehicle. You know, you might be making people real mad. Well, I I am a big fan of BYU, so, I mean, there you go. Okay. Well, I wouldn't think that would, you know, get people mad enough for gunshots.
I don't know. Do they have any big rival teams that might be visiting the area? I don't know. Just traveling through salt lake. That's all.
Oh, okay. Well, if you're down in salt lake different story, I mean, those people down there they're unhinged. So be be extra cautious. Okay. Alright.
Okay. Hey, thanks guys. Thanks, man. And feel free to swing by and get a, some cannonball swag. Sounds good.
Alright. Ride your bike. Peace. Bike. Wear your spandex and ride your bike.
Oh, man. Can you imagine how cold it would be wearing that spandex out in this weather? Jeez. K, Barry, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this?
This is Adam. Adam, what's up? So this isn't technically a legal question, but maybe you guys could, shine some light on this. Sometimes I see people stopped at a light, and they'll stop a full car length back, and I don't understand why. Yeah.
That ticks you off. Yeah. I was gonna say they're, you know, scared. Cautious. The only place I can think of that it seems reasonable to do that is that intersection of Sunnyside and Yellowstone in Idaho Falls where, like, if you pull up to the line, you'd likely be just parked over the railroad tracks.
But I, I tell people I'm riding with when they do that, I think. Are we sneaking up on it? Got it. Got it. You're a little creeping.
When I see that, I don't it kind of drives me nuts because a lot of the times well, sometimes you'll see it, and there will be a lane that opens up just past them. And I'm just thinking, move up so I can get over. So I don't know. Yeah. My wife I guess you guys don't have an idea either.
So I I'm gonna, you know, rack it up to, fright and, stupidity. Yeah. You can't go too far wrong talking to those, I suppose. So, yeah, I don't know people, you know, it's always good to in this current, weather that we've got going on, take it a little bit cautious. You know, I I would think if you head up to a stoplight too quickly, you might end up rear ending somebody.
So Yeah. And see, I would be fine with people stopping at car lengths back just to make sure that if it's icy or whatever and then moving up. But no. They'll just stay there. I don't know.
I'm just I'm just venting a pet peeve and apparently y'all haven't seen it. So I'll, that just ticks me off. Police. Somebody else is mad about things and stuff. They didn't say at least you're not whining about this same things that everybody else won't stop whining about because that, you know, something new's good.
Like, like that one that starts with our roundabout. Yes. Round please. Nobody call about roundabouts today. My patience is low.
My jeans are. I'm sorry. That doesn't get a free t shirt are those that call about roundabouts. No cannonball swag for roundabout calls. Well, thanks, Adam.
And feel free to, yeah. Swing by, get yourself some cannonball swag. Yeah. I might get a hat or something later. We'll see.
Alright. Cool. You have a good one. You too. Peace.
K, Bear. You're live on traffic school powered by the advocate Susus. This is Brigham. How are you doing today? Brigham doing pretty good.
What's your question, man? So my question on a on a two lane road, right, and there there's a there's a road intersecting it. If somebody's trying to turn left onto that road, is it illegal to kinda swerve around them in that intersection so so you don't have to wait? Oh, that's a great question. The way the law reads is as long as your, all four tires don't leave the pavement, you're okay.
Alright. Sounds good. But, certainly be cautious because, Yeah. Right? Yeah.
Alright, man. And feel free to stop by and get some cannonball swag. Alright. Do you have a BYJ sticker on your bumper? Yeah.
Alright. He said his name was Brigham, so I would assume. I'm wondering if he's yeah. I'm wondering if he's got a BYU sticker. No.
I don't. Not yet. I'm trying to get one. Victor will get you one. Yeah.
I got piles of them. Alright. Pick it up along with your cannonball sticker. Great. Hey.
Thanks, Brigham. Hope you have a good weekend, man. Alright. So, lieutenant Crane, are you planning on, being back around East Idaho next week? I will be back and in studio.
Oh, no. I won't. I won't. I won't be in studio. So, I got some stuff I'll talk to you about.
I'll be, off the air. Okay. Alright. Cool. Well, we'll figure something out.
Maybe I can drag, like, Ben from the advocates in or, you know, we'll we'll we'll bring somebody in so that we can give you extra grief over the phone. Perfect. Sounds good. Alright, everybody. Thank you for participating.
