Traffic School w/ special guest Ben from The Advocates - 05/23/2025

Alright. We got a packed studio. We got Ben from the Advocates Injury Attorneys. We got Lieutenant Crane from the Idaho State Police trying to figure out his headphones. I guess I coulda gave you a little bit more of a warning.

Oh, no. No. It's, it's the first time I haven't been ready and you have. That's true. Usually, I'm a scattered mess, and, we're throwing everything together at the last minute.

But today, just utter professionalism on my part. So we'll see. We'll keep track. We haven't answered any calls yet. So Yeah.

We haven't tried to do anything, that takes talent. Now how dare you. So both of you guys showed up with goodies today. You, lieutenant Crane, brought me a nice big stack of tickets to the first race of the season, the crazy figure eight race at the Rigby Fairgrounds the day after my birthday. Yeah.

Look at that. We're trying to get you come out with your kids. Yeah. Well, my kids aren't gonna come visit me for my birthday. My, brother and sister were gonna come visit me.

My brother had an incident at his place. The upstairs neighbor, I guess, had a fire. So the fire department came and put the fire out and flooded my brother's place, so he's not going anywhere. Water go downhill? Yes.

Apparently, it does. So I think my sister might be around, but I'm gonna have to double check the dates on it. She might head out that day. I'll talk to my wife. I know she likes you, and I don't know why.

But I don't either. I suspect she would come up with a few dollars to help buy you a friend for your birthday. Now could I race Ben? Could you get two cars? Me and Ben show up.

And it's, you know, Kaibare versus the advocates in the crazy figure eight. The shortest race ever in figure eight history if it's you two. Because you'd go out, get stuck. Ben would go around. And win.

Yeah. I mean, you've seen the difference in the type of vehicles we drive. I have a feeling Ben is gonna do better in a racing situation. He has a need for speed. Yes.

He does. But Ben, you know, is very responsible. I'm sure that ride he's got parked out front, he has never taken that over the speed limit. No. No.

Never. Never. Because what you know, why would you if you had a ride like that? Can you imagine the temptation every time you get on a US highway or an interstate on an arm ramp? I I've been lucky.

I've been lucky so far so far. Sir, I'm just trying to get up with the flow of traffic. Like, yeah, exactly. You know, you're supposed to get up to speed by the end of the on ramp. How fast can you get up to 60 miles an hour on on that thing, Ben?

Two point nine seconds. It's it's hard to see it when it goes by 60. It doesn't show 60. It goes twenty, thirty five, 40 eight. Not quite like my truck.

No. Come on. Get me up to 35. Went stoning it out the driver's door. So, in addition to lieutenant Crane bringing a bunch of crazy figure eight race tickets, Ben brought a Visa gift card.

Yeah. $200. Whoo. Man, I mean, you guys just got done giving us a bunch of money for the secret sound. You're crazy, Ben.

You're giving our listeners way too much money. Nah. Nah. Nah? Hey.

You know I'm a dedicated listener, but I don't know what the secret sound ended up being. Oh, the final secret sound was handing your phone to a friend and them handing it back to you. There's a noise. If you push record on the phone Yeah. You know, the like a voice memo, that was the sound.

We hit record on my phone. I handed it to Jade, and he handed it back to me. Boy, you guys put a lot of thought into this stuff, don't you? Yeah. So I think we nailed it.

Let's go home. Here. I'll I I I was tempted to call him and see what is that sound, but I played along like everybody else. This is what it sounded like. Yeah.

Yeah. Pretty tricky. You guys put a whole thirty seconds into that. Oh, yeah. Tons of effort.

Tons of effort that got up to a $1,048 jackpot, and I can't remember the name of the guy that won it. Winner. Hey, winner. Yeah. Mister winner.

So somebody today is going to win this $200 Visa gift card. We came up with the idea of a certain question number. We're gonna give that caller the gift card. Right? Who's gonna keep track?

I'm gonna do my best. How this went last time. So I think we need to work as a team on this. And does this this look good? Yeah.

Yeah. K. Alright. So you have to call and ask a question in order to be counted as, you know, one of those numbers. If you just call and go, I need money.

I love you guys. That doesn't count. You have to have a question for the program. So we're gonna kick off traffic school after a quick break. 2085351015.

Your participation might score you a $200 Visa gift card from the wonderful Advocates Injury Attorneys. And, you know, lieutenant Crane, we talked a little bit about this earlier, Memorial Day weekend. Lots of people out on the roads. Please be cautious, everybody. Yeah.

Add some time into your travels. Be cautious. Be patient. Be patient. Put your phone down, especially if you're pulling a camper and another trailer behind it.

Put your phone down. Focus on what you're doing. Absolutely. Because, you know, if you're playing around on your phone, you mow into somebody, they're calling Ben They're calling Ben. The advocates.

And I hope my friends are calling you to win that $200 and maybe take me to lunch. You're not eligible to have any of that place on it. They can win. They can win. Okay.

But wait a minute. You just said friends. Okay. So since I went after you earlier, now it's coming back. And we've got Ben from the Advocates Injury Attorneys hanging out with us in the house.

It's a Friday pre Memorial Day weekend party on Traffic School, and these guys brought a lot of, goodies to give away. Like we mentioned before the break, Ben bringing in a $200 Visa gift card from the advocates. Two hundred bucks. Gosh. I don't even know what that looks like.

I don't either. I have no clue what money is anymore. None since my computer broke. So aggravating. But, you know me.

I've got I've got endless complaints. So I've never noticed. No? No. Never?

No. Alright. Well, I'll I'll work on it. I'll try to come up with some for the show. Always so positive.

So off air, we all came up with a caller number. Whoever asks that number question on the show today will win a $200 Visa gift card from the injury attorneys. What caller number will it be? It's a secret. Oh, I just I don't give it away.

Don't give it away. But one of you who, participates in the show will win this, but you have to ask a question to be considered a caller. So let's start with our first caller on the program. K Mary, you're live on the show. Who's this?

This is John. John, what's up, man? What's your question? I'm on my way to work right now. Are you Little John or Big John?

I'm Reckless John. Reckless John? You're you're like the advocate's favorite. Yeah. Well, yeah.

And that's that's what we wanna talk about because I I wanna I wanna talk to you about the helmet law. I need an attorney. Alright. Helmet law. Yeah.

You know, you see these people up there under side by side, four wheelers running around up, you know, the bone area or, you know, up through the mountains. Those little kids ain't got no helmets on. Yeah. 18. Yeah.

I understand that, but it needs to be enforced. By golly. I wanna see I'm calling my boss, Tom. I'm going up to the mountains this weekend. I'm just enforcing helmet law.

That's all I'm gonna do. Yeah. Yeah. Well, I I'm in the I did it to the county, and they went up there and wrote 60 tickets in one day. Holy moly.

This guy's king snitch. Snitches with stitches. Well, the thing is Put all that ticket on some reckless John. That's a John. That's right.

And if you saw my last three helmets, you'd understand why I wear one. Oh, yeah. I mean, we we all totally agree that kids should be wearing helmets riding on, you know, ATVs, motorcycles, things like that. It's, you know, unfortunate when people, you know, don't think about those kind of things because, little kid wrecking on one of those, that could be a really bad deal. Yeah.

Yeah. A hundred bucks for a helmet can pay for, you know, rather than having your kid have a busted head. Yeah. Absolutely. Or worse.

Mhmm. So They are worse, dad. So 18 and under, you know, all types of motorized vehicles. Helmet. Alright?

Yep. Those of you heading out camping this weekend, and Reckless John just put the word out. There might be some some authority coming your way, so watch out. Alright. That's right.

Well, my gosh. Thanks, guys. Thanks for the call, man. Hope you have a great holiday weekend. Oh, I will.

Right on. See you later, man. Peace, man. Alright. So caller number one was not our $200 Visa gift card.

You are not a winner. No. You're What is But he's not a loser. I'm just not a winner. I guess I don't know.

He did call himself reckless. I do know this. I've seen, I've seen, the survivor program, and he says all the time, if you don't win, what are you? A loser. I need to get that in our button bar for sure.

Alright. K Bear, you are live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this? Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. Oh, man.

We were talking about you a few minutes ago. Me and Ben off air crazy car. Hi. How you doing? How you guys doing, man?

Pretty good. We were just, you know, scoping out Ben's sweet ride, and we figured you'd call and tell us, when the next car show is. Oh, exactly. Oh, there's tons of them coming up. Oh, exactly.

I'm retired with nothing else to do. Oh, exactly. Carl, I told Victor he's gonna come with me to one of these next, car deals like those Saturday night rides. So you might you might see them out there. Oh, that would be perfect.

Saturday night cruises, man, just like back in high school. Oh, you gotta go. I don't know, man. I'm I'm probably lucky I didn't get in much trouble back on the Saturday night cruise in Pokey in high school. Is it the same loop that it used to be?

It's similar. It's similar. Just up and down Yellowstone and Alameda? Yeah. Yep.

Yep. Alright. Well, I might be out on the cruise with Ben tomorrow night. We'll see. Oh, that'd be awesome.

Oh, that would be awesome. Oh, and the weather's gonna be perfect this weekend too. Yeah. Looking great. If anybody's even still in town, though.

Right. I'll be in town. Saying everybody. Yeah. No.

I'm I I ain't going nowhere. Yeah. I'm I'm a loser with no friends or family, so I ain't going anywhere. I didn't wanna say it. Yeah.

Since you opened the door. So speaking of going somewhere, so I got I got the 72 Pinot hooked up to the camper, hooked up to the boat, hooked up to the, side by side with ATVs and all the motorcycles. How many trailers can you have on one rig? It's footage. So it's up to 70 some odd feet, and I think it's 76.

Yeah. We've had this question before, but I don't remember the exact number. It's was it 78? Maybe. 78 feet?

And that's from the front of your bumper To the rear most To the rear. Yeah. Alright. He's Oh. He's using his, top secret agent phone here to look up the information.

It doesn't matter, the tow rig? No. Well, you gotta be you gotta be able to handle the weight you're towing. Right? You can't Sounds like Carl's following all this in a pinot.

Yeah. Carl, that doesn't really sound right. Like, if Carl using a pinot to pull three trailers causes an accident, I would assume, Ben, that he's probably gonna be held liable for that accident. I'd imagine so. And Right.

You know, whoever Right. Whoever has to deal with the boat should be calling us if that happens. Yeah. Exactly. (208) 471-4444.

If you 75 feet. 75 feet. Okay. There you go, Carl. Seventy five feet.

Right on. Right on. I'm just going to the neighbor's house, so not very far. Oh, man. And then I've got a lawsuit it gives me.

Yeah. Dang cats and dogs. What's that? Said dang cats and dogs. Yeah.

Exactly. Oh, yeah. You gotta have all the dogs. Got the neighbors fighting again. Right?

Yeah. Oh, your dog bites. Your cat's in my tree. Alright on. Well, might see you might see you out and about tomorrow night, Carl.

We'll see. Be awesome, dude. Oh, that'd be cool, man. You'd have a blast. Yeah.

No. It's cool stuff. For sure. Hey and Ben. We're, we're grilling some hamburgers at the shop today, man.

Swing on by. Grab you a burger. K. For sure. Grilling it up for the weekend.

Yeah. Victor and I will take care of ourselves. Yes, man. I just can't. I don't know.

If he if he can the three of you in the Corvette, man, by all means. Obviously, Carl forgets where his breads butter. Man's not here every week. Choose your friends wisely. Exactly.

Right on. Well, hey, man. I hope you guys have a good memorial weekend, and, yes. I hope to see you tomorrow night, Victor, man. That'd be cool.

Right on, Carl. Hope you have a great holiday weekend too, and, we'll talk to you soon. Alright. We'll see you, man. Have a good weekend.

Bye. Alright. Caller number two was not our $200 Visa gift card winner. Two whole callers. Yeah.

I know we were trying to figure out a number. Yeah. How many will it be? K Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this?

Oh, this is Parker. Parker, what's up, man? I got a question for you guys. Well, yeah. Go for it.

Don't hesitate. We're right. Don't wanna keep you away. Now what's the biggest cause of accident over this Memorial Day weekend? Is it distracted drivers?

Is it leaping it at the wheel? Is it what caused most of these accidents in these hundred deadliest days? I'd say distracted driving. Distracted driving? Yep.

Phone, keeping your McDonald's fries and whatnot? Yep. Yep. Oh, that's good to know. Yeah.

Please, everybody. Put the phone down. You know, get yourself a little harness for it. Go hands free. You know, there there are ways to get get around these things.

Cheat the system. That's what you're saying. Hey. If anybody knows how to cheat the system, it's Victor. That's right.

I'm a pro. Grew up on the rough streets of Pocatello. And I moved to Burley. I know. Yeah.

That's where I learned it all. Where I learned to be on the streets like my good buddy Biden. That was right. Let's not play this game yet. Hey.

When I grew up in rough areas, it got tough. You know what I'd like to do that dad like to take him and hide the school yard. Oh boy. I forgot about some of those funny quotes. So, yeah.

Yep. What can undistracted drivers do to combat distracted drivers? Alright. Lieutenant Crane just stepped out in the hallway. It's defensive driving.

Pay attention to what's going on around you. Look ahead a little ways. Oh, not put your hand out the window and give them the, you know, one finger salute or scream and yell, Ben? Or that. I mean, I have heard favorite.

I have heard of people having a bad reaction when you do that. It's kinda funny. Like, that's how I greet most of my friends, you know, every day when I see Jade. Hi, Jade. And he doesn't get mad at me, but people on the road, some of them take offense.

So, yeah, you just gotta, you know, be situationally aware, give yourself a lot of extra space, and just watch out for for the crazies out there. Perfect. Well, I appreciate the help. Hey. Thanks, Parker.

You have a great, holiday weekend, man. Hey. You too. Peace. That was color number three.

That was number three, and they were not the winner of the $200 Visa gift card. Make you, Parker? A loser. Yeah. Look.

Janet Crainy had a good question. Parker's a nice guy. A nice young boy. But I guess I'm nice and a loser too. So Kaye Berry, you're live on Traffic School powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys.

Who's this? This is Blake. How are we doing? Blake, we're doing good, man. What's your question?

Alright. So this this may not be law, but, maybe comes under, courtesy. But if you're going down a highway freeway, and you get over to the left to let somebody merge on, and you have your cruise control set, is it anybody's responsibility if you end up going side by side at the same speed? Well, no. You can do that as long as you want until, you get three or more vehicles backed up behind you in the left lane, and then you've gotta move over because now you started to impede traffic.

So it's the responsibility of the person in the left lane to then adjust their speed, not the person merging. Correct. Because now you're going down the highway. They're in the right lane. They're traveling the same speed you are.

This happens a lot with semis. Right? Yeah. They'll get side by side, and you're just like, come on. I know.

It's so aggravating. You pull the old Victor. You can't. You can't. So, yeah, once you're in that left lane, you'd be responsible to either decelerate or accelerate to clear that lane.

I don't like being right next to somebody for a given amount of time anyway, getting that side eye and Yeah. Out of the way. They're always looking at you. I'm sure especially in the vehicle you're driving, Ben. Yep.

Did you see back east what happened? I don't know. On a road rage deal like that, a lady gets mad, stops at the stop sign, another lady stops behind her, and she goes back and defecates on Oh, I saw that. Yeah. I talked about that.

Oh, I'm like, are you kidding me? Hey. It's 2025, Lieutenant Crane. Things are getting weird out there. Alright?

All I know is what? Poor victims going, that's a full moon. Yeah. You take it to the car wash and just really hope that it, you know, works right. Poor people working at that car wash.

It's just spraying every okay. Anyway. Alright, man. Appreciate the call today and, hope you have a great weekend. Alright.

Thank you very much. Yep. Peace. Yep. Caller number 4 was not the $200 Visa gift card from the Advocates Injury of the United States.

Not a winner. What does that make you, Victor? No money for you. Oh, it's fun. It is kind of fun to just shut people down and give them no prizes.

Thanks for participating. Now go home. K Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this? It's Mitch.

How are you guys doing? Doing great, Mitch. What's your question? I was wondering what is the law nowadays for the tires sticking out past the fender wells? I'm gonna tell you like I share with my wife at times.

They're doing that just to tick you off. That's right. Picking up with rocks, breaking my windshield. It it gets to me just kinda like watching them kids walk around with their pants and their, underwear showing. Hey.

Did you live in the rough parts of Berlin? I'm gonna take that boy out back. That was the popular way to dress when I was a teenager. Pants half pulled down. I don't I don't know if it's much of a thing anymore.

Isn't that was awesome when that guy come out and sang that song? I think I still remember the lyrics. Keep it appropriate. Keep it appropriate. So, yeah, the law is if you take a dime and drop it off your wind, fender well and it hits your tire, you're illegal.

Well, I I I just there's lots of them out there. I just wonder, you know, I guess I should be asking them how many times have they got ticketed for it, you know? Yeah. We haven't hardly noticed. Yeah.

But I would I would imagine this weekend probably increased patrols Yep. Going on. Yeah. We got some increased patrols. We're gonna be out there.

We want everybody to be safe. Once again, pay attention. Increase your following distance. I know the roads can be crowded, but increase your following distance, especially if you're pulling a load. And, yeah.

But don't be distracted. Hey. I I am pulled over right now. Oh, okay. Problem.

Hey. I just I wanted a good enough. I figured it'd be a good enough question to get in there with that $200. I want some money. It was a good enough question to get into the, the shot at winning $200 from the advocate's injury.

We don't always win in life. But caller number 5 caller number 5 was not the number we chose. Sorry. So that makes you a loser. But you can call with another question.

And next week, if you call, we just like it. Yeah. I we'd we'd really appreciate not having to bribe you guys to call us. So So I don't have to so I don't have to call back at a certain time. I'm not in for the in for a contest or anything.

Well, what we're doing is we've picked a caller number, and sometime during the show, that caller number will happen, and they'll win the $200. So your caller number 55 wasn't the number we chose. I don't know if we should've went one through 30,000. I know. I know.

We're gonna be doing this a long time. This is gonna go a while. But if you come up with, if you come up with another question, feel free to call us back. Alright. I'll I'll I'll think about that.

Okay. Alright. Thanks, man. Peace. Yeah.

(208) 535-1015, the number to call for. Traffic School powered by the Advocates. Ben from the Advocates is hanging out today. Brought a $200 Visa gift card for one lucky caller. Why don't we just call him mister Money?

Mister money in the house. Make him happy. I know. Every time Ben shows up, they bring something awesome. Have you ever noticed people are always happy around Ben?

I wonder why. Yeah. The hundred dollar bills falling out of his pockets as he walks. I know I'm always getting a broom out when he leaves. Like, yeah.

Yeah. Look at this pile of cash. Come to papa. Oh, that one count. Doesn't count.

Doesn't count. K Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this? Craig. Craig, what's up?

What's your question? Oh, okay. This kind of pertains to the the, couple questions ago. Well, Greg, I'm a little disappointed. This is the first time I've heard your voice, and I know it's just because of the $200.

That's not true. I've asked many questions. I'm Greg from first. Alright, Greg from first. Go ahead.

Okay. So, the car merges on and you said that the person at Fastlane is responsible to get out of the way of three or more cars. No. No. Now once we get down the road and we're just running the same pace, same speed together Okay.

So But at the merge itself, the person merging on has to yield. Right. If you're one of those cars, right, and another car has pulled behind the other person that merged on in the slow lane, so it can't really slow down that much to get over, What allowable speed over the speed limit are you gonna allow them to go to to accelerate and get in front of them to get out of the way of So this is this is common sense now if you're you don't need to do a 36 to But if you're on your motorcycle, you need to do a 38. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. That yeah. That's safe. But, no, if you're if you're going there, it's not hard to pick up one mile an hour and pass somebody in several hundred feet. Okay.

What what are in your mind, what's allowable? Say they go seven. It's 70 and they pick it up to 70. Depends on if they pick it up, get around them, and then stay at that speed or pick it up, get around them, and then drop their speed back down. Okay.

Yep. But, yeah, you well, you would be good with that. 77, 70 eight miles an hour. Yep. 75.

Yeah. 75. Get back in. Drop back down. One of those Most of you most of you law enforcement are very flexible.

You know it's Oh, you ought to see me do a backbend. I I appreciate the service of all you guys. I really Oh, thank you. We don't say it enough, but but thank you. Hey.

And, we appreciate you calling into this program. Greg. And I apologize for saying that it was your first time. Alright. Go ahead and say it.

I'm a loser. Yeah. Caller number six is a loser. Sorry, Craig. Alright, guys.

Have a good Memorial Day weekend. You too, man. Good to hear from you. Alright, buddy. Speaking of losers, I wasn't paying attention to my clocks or anything like that, and we I I gotta do a few things here.

So why don't why don't y'all remember something was a brag. Oh, man. I'm on top of my game. So let's go ahead and play a few things here, and then we'll we'll pick up more calls. Man, I get it when I do.

Pallet. Alright. We're back. We've had six callers so far on this show. Great questions.

Are you getting are your hands getting tired holding them up? You're just, like, holding your one hand up, all five I know. It's And then your thumb. It's so hard for me to keep track. That's why you couldn't handle the board.

I know. I was too busy worried about counting. And I you know, once I get up to six, it gets really hard. Alright. Let's go to the phones.

K Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this? This is Scott. Scott, what's your question? What's the fine.

Not that I would ever do it, but if if my insurance and registration abs or excellent accidentally lapsed, what's the fine if I were to drive without? Current. Driving on an expired license. Current. Well, no.

Insurance and Oh, insurance and registration. Yeah. Yes. Okay. It's Scott.

Right? Yes. First, do you feel like you're a winner or a loser today? I feel like I'm a winner, man. Well, I hate to disappoint, but you're you're ruining Scott before he even got his answer.

But I do wanna answer your question. Is that fair? Yeah. Okay. So running without registration, man, that's not too too bad.

Right? You get an infraction citation, minimal fine under a hundred dollars. You go pay it. You go get your registration. What you'll find out is they back bill you.

Right? So if it has been expired three months, they back bill you for those three months and then make your registration current. The problem is if you get a ticket with no insurance, now all of a sudden it becomes a problem. You can lose your license and privilege to drive. You get high risk insurance once you get it all figured out, and it starts costing a lot of money.

That's not one to gamble with. Can you get taken to jail for no insurance? Used to could. Oh, used to could. Used to could.

Do you know that's a word? Right? Used to could. Oh, yeah. This is Idaho.

Used to could. That's an Idaho word. Yeah. That's an Idaho word. But, yeah, we used to do that.

We used to arrest on, so many violations of insurance. We don't do that anymore. Well, that's nice. People still drive without insurance. So my my thing get make get look at your policy.

Make sure you have underinsured and or uninsured motorist coverage. Yeah. So if somebody hits you without insurance, then you still will have those coverages there. Yeah. Because I think a lot of people, Ben, will, you know, just get the cheapest insurance they can find.

And, you know, if if you don't have a good agent selling you and explaining the importance of these other things, you can be left underinsured, when it comes to other drivers. And then, yeah, you're you're just screwed. It's just a few bucks more a month to have a good underinsured policy on there because everybody's getting the cheapest insurance. Right? Yeah.

Yeah. That doesn't cover a lot of medical bills. Don't follow the old bait and switch. No. Exactly.

No. Well, thanks, Scott. Sorry you're not our winner, but I hope you have a wonderful holiday weekend. We were sure pulling for you. You do.

Thanks. Be good. Alright. Appreciate it. Be good.

Be good at it. Oh, you know me? Yeah. Right? He was just proud about what a great DJ he was.

We'll see you later, Scott. We'll talk to you later. Bye. Bye. Before we continue with calls, I've been wanting to ask you about this all week because you're the snowmobiler that I know.

Yeah. The one person. The one guy I know who rides a snowmobile. I was reading the news the other day, and they were I think it was East Idaho News talking about Wyoming trying to make a law that snowmobilers can no longer be allowed to chase down and run over animals with their snowmobile. Coyotes and fox and What's wrong with you guys?

What what what kind of hobbies do you psychopaths have where you're out chasing down and mowing down it? Isn't it don't you damage your snowmobile? I would love to catch you out in the middle of the field in some snow shoes. I'd chase you. That wouldn't be very hard to catch.

You know, when I was younger, I'm I'm gonna be honest. I I've been guilty of doing that a time or two. Not a lot. But, man, as I got older, I I can't do it. I I can't even hunt anymore.

I'd I'd rather look at him go, man. That's cool. Yeah. See, I I can't hunt. I'm way too much of a, you know, woke liberal.

No. I just like the fuzzy little animals. No. And and back when I was growing up, if my dad wasn't successful in hunting, our meals weren't as good. Right?

Yeah. And, so, man, I seen a purpose for it back then. And when I was growing up, I loved to hunt. We used them. We fed our families off of them.

But as I've got older, I just I've lost that desire to go hunting. So But you're not a real man anymore? I never I don't know if I according to my wife When are you gonna grow up and be a man? That's right. I wonder than this herd.

Yeah. I just I thought it would be much easier if you were because I I talked about it on air, and a listener called and was talking about maybe farmers having to protect their livestock. I'm like, wouldn't it just be easier to get the rifle out and shoot a coyote than jump on a snowmobile and try to chase it down and run it over? And you can cause damage to your snowmobile if you don't have Well, yeah. The right stuff.

Right? Because your snowmobile's plastic in a lot of places, and it's cold and yeah. I just thought it was so weird. I'm like, people do that? Well, okay.

I'll ask the one guy I know. I can't wait to get you on snowshoes at the door of the hill. Snowshoeing sounds horrible to me. Out walking in the snow? What maniac is that?

My wife. Oh. I'll let her know. That's gonna save me a lot of money. It's gonna save me a lot of money because now she's gonna be like, oh, no, Marvin.

Victor needs that. I don't need snow shoes. No worries. I'm like, you're not his mother. Alright.

Kay Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys. Who's this? This is Jen. Jen? Jen.

Alright, Jen. What's your question for traffic school? I was actually wondering. Say, I'm driving down the road and the sun's shining nice and bright. Now she's bragging.

What a great day she's having. Oh, I'm having a good day. But say I'm wearing a nice sparkly shirt with some sequins on it, and it catches the sun just right. And Are you Elvis Presley's daughter? Go ahead, Jen.

Yeah. I just dropped the driver next to me, and they get in an accident. Is that my fault? Alright. We've got Ben and lieutenant Crane here.

So this is a great question that you get, you know, a blast of sunlight from Jen's just flashy sequin clothes. You know, it's like what it is. It's like a disco ball. Bam. Wow.

And you're distracted by Jen's clothing. Yes. Go ahead, Ben. Better give us a call. We'll look at it.

That's why that's why the world loves attorneys. What are you looking at, Ben? No. I think I I think it's a factor, and I think it's something that needs to be looked at. It's something we have to dig into.

Yeah. I I could see that being being a distraction. Now what if the clothes were not reflective and shiny, and you were just vehicle next year? Is it her fault or is it yours? That's a little different.

Okay. Okay. So be careful with those clothes. Can I answer this later? Just don't be so distracting, Jen.

We just wanna leave it on legally. Ben and I have our ways. We wanna look at it. So, yeah, you said the legal answer? Hey.

Just because it's nice to look at doesn't mean you should be looking at it. Right? And so when you're driving a vehicle, you take on the responsibility to drive that with caution without putting other people in harm's way at all times. So it would be your your fault as the other driver for being distracted. Now the way she presented it, she would be fine.

If there was other things where I think you and Ben may have gone, there might be an issue that we would need to take care of, but it wouldn't change the fact that the other individual be at fault for the crash. Alright. So what if, like, hanging from your rearview mirror, you have, like, a CD or some something that does reflect the light and could blast somebody with a beam of sunlight in the face? That's gonna be hard to prove. Right?

It's gonna be hard to prove that, hey. The whole reason they crashed is because this CD disc stayed in the same exact location for so long, it burnt their pupils out of their eyeballs. But maybe the advocates could prove it. Yeah. No.

It's no different. When I was getting going this morning and, it was early or much earlier than I'm usually out and about, but I'd make a turn. Next thing I know, the sun's right there coming over the mountains in my eyes. Yeah. And and if if I can't see and I continue driving and hit somebody, obviously, that's my fault.

Pull over, get out of the way, or find some sunglasses, pull the visor down. There's things that can be done. Yep. Well, Jen, that was a great question. What color number was Jen?

Oh, I know what color number Jen was. Yeah. Jen, you feel like a winner or a loser? Well, absolutely. Ladies and gentlemen love.

Great good times. Come on. Jen's the winner. Girl. No.

Number eight was the caller we picked prior to the beginning of the show. So, Jen, hang on the line so I can get your information, get you that $200 Visa gift card from the Advocates Injury Attorneys. You got anything fun you're gonna do with it for the holiday weekend? Oh my goodness. Top.

I'm doing clothes shopping. Yeah. I need a bright new shiny shirt. Alright, Jen. Well, I'll be right back with you in just a minute.
