The Viktor Wilt Show

How did it go with, Peaches last week? Oh, man. No? He's a celebrity. He's a celebrity.

People very excited to call him in the morning, They've had enough of my crap. I don't know if they're ever excited to talk to him, but they called. Oh, okay. Well, good. Well, I threw out, you know, the queue to call earlier, let people know traffic school's coming up, so they've had lots of time to think of questions.

To ponder. That's right. And they better have some good questions today. We're hanging up. This needs to be a top of the line show.

We need to be informative for the community. So, yeah. (208) 535-1015 gonna be the number to call for Traffic School powered by the advocates. We're gonna take the quick commercial break. We'll be back in about two, three minutes.

So, again, (208) 535-1015, the number to call. Get those questions ready and join us on the show. It's Traffic School Powered by the Advocates. We'll be right back. Whoops.

First time in a week, folks. Gotta start the show off with some mistakes. Oh my gosh. But that's a good mistake. How much you wanna bet I could throw that butt over the mountains?

Is this had a movie you've actually seen? Yeah. And I thought it was the dumbest thing I ever watched. Oh, god. It's a it's a classic.

It was from IDO. They say if you watch it more, it gets better. Oh, it does seem to get funnier every time. Every time. Alright.

Well, we've already got people calling in, so we'll go ahead and jump over to the phones, get some traffic school powered by the advocates going. K Barry, you're live on the show. Who's this? This is Austin. Austin, what's up, man?

Hey. I just yeah. I got a traffic school question for you guys. This is a time. Perfect.

Perfect. So and this might be a question you guys have already gotten. You know? I tried to tune in as much as I can, but, you know, we're we're all working men around here. Basically, I'm curious about in town laws on a modified exhaust system.

From what I have read, online, in town, I mean, there's no decibel limit that's exceeding the law as long as you have the emission devices and a muffler. They say you're okay. Is that true? Man, I love a guy that goes to the Internet and knows that that's gotta be factual. Yeah.

I was gonna say, was this a Google AI result? And I want it in my favor. No. This is, this is straight off of, I wanna say Idaho d o l or something like that. I want mudmuffler.com.

Yeah. That's that's right. Okay. Okay. So, hey, the way the state code reads, it has to be, original or back to stock.

So it can't be modified. Yeah. So it doesn't say anything about decibels or how loud is it or anything else, OEM or or back to it. Okay. Sorry, man.

No. That's okay. That's why I call, and I I wanna ask because, yeah, I mean, obviously, online, he's telling me the truth. So I'd rather hear it straight from the horse's mouth. And with that, right, are you gonna have a problem if your, muffler system isn't exactly stock?

The only time that's gonna happen is if you're out being loud and obnoxious. Who would do such a thing? Oh, I know. Right? A hardworking young man that can afford to put it in his truck.

Only only on weekends and, you know, from the hours of 10AM to 7PM, I must Alright. Yeah. Within the quiet hours. Yeah. I don't know.

Yep. There you go. I don't know anybody in this room who might have an illegal modification to their truck. Yeah. You in the troublemaker.

Just keep it up. Keep it up. Hey. Cool. Well, I appreciate the answer.

I appreciate you guys, and, I'll keep listening. You guys have a wonderful day. Austin, I'm in the same boat you are. Mine isn't illegal unless I use it. There you go.

Unless you use it. That's funny. I like that. And I guess the other point on that is unless you get caught. That's how all laws work.

Right? Take your chances. Pay the consequences. Yeah. That's awesome.

No. I appreciate it. Hey, man. Hope you have a great weekend. You too.

Thanks. Thanks. Peace. See you. Alright, everybody.

(208) 535-1015, the number to call for Traffic School powered by the advocates. I did get a bunch of questions online. Let's do this real quick. I wanna make something very clear with Austin. When I say, hey.

It's not against the law unless you get caught. Right? I get it all the time. Hey. I bet you love the fact you never get a ticket.

Right? I think you and I have discussed this before, but we need to re re advise. Yeah. One day I'm driving. My wife's registration was expired.

Sure enough, I get pulled over, and, I get a citation. And, I walk in the business that I I was in their parking lot when I got stopped. And they're like, man, it must be nice to be a cop so you'll get a citation. And I pulled that baby out of my back pocket. I I love it.

That's right. Fellow officers out there, anytime you can stick it to this guy, do it. Do it. K Barry, you're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this?

Sunday. Sunday. Sunday. There he is. Oh, yeah.

I'm sure we got a car show this weekend. You slept in. Oh, there's car show every weekend. Snow flies. Man, I bet your wife just loves being married to you.

Another car show. What are we doing this weekend, honey? Oh, another car show and drinking beer. Oh, man. Hey.

So, a little bit of a public service announcement. We got a school starting up. So, everybody watch out for those flashing lights on the bus or you might see some flashing lights in rear view. And, I got to get rid of them and all that. So my question is, I wrote some lyrics down for a week before I shared that.

But very good, Carl. That was good. Yeah. Yeah. Watch out for kids, people, please.

Oh, absolutely. Yep. Yep. So, down in Las Vegas, the first offense was a $700 ticket, for going five over in a school zone. What is the fine for going over the speed limit in a school zone here in Idaho?

It's not $700. I'll tell you that. I'll I'll look it up. But, yeah. I haven't wrote a citation for a while, but if there is a school zone fine for speeding in the school zone, it's, like, $68.

Oh, I see. Probably up that a little bit. To 700? You know? I I've seen them talk about minimum fines for certain things being changed recently.

It seems to me like speeding in a school zone should be more serious than my other things, I guess. Is the skid is the skid is the kid getting good grades in school. Is he being a person in the community? Well, we'll look that up, Carl, and we'll get that answered for you here in just a few minutes, man. And, appreciate the call.

Hope the car show goes good this weekend. Oh, yeah. Alright. You guys have a good one, man. You too, man.

You. Peace. Bye. Alright. So while Lieutenant Crane researches, wanna remind you that we're doing traffic school powered by The Advocates.

It's a live call and show where you can ask a cop questions about the law. I see all kinds of arguments happening online all the time. Lots of incorrect information being spread around. So if you wanna clarify a law, call us right now. (208) 535-1015.

$75. $75. Okay. Yeah. I think they should up that.

And it can go up to $1.56 50, and that's if it's, excessive. Ex so if you if you fly through a school zone, if you can't even see the kids, Buck City. Alright. Contact your legislators, people. Alright.

(208) 535-1015, the number to call for traffic school. Let's see here. Min wanted to know when you're out on patrol and you see somebody speeding Like, multiple men? M y n. Oh.

Hopefully, I said her name right. But she was, wondering when you generally see people speeding, what kind of car are they usually driving? Is there a specific vehicle that people just can't help themselves? A fast one. There you go.

Sports car. Whatever Carl's driving, you know, this current weekend. No. But we talked about this before. Right?

They said, oh, I'm looking to buy a car. A caller called two weeks ago. Hey. I'm looking to buy a car. I'm staying away from red because cops pull red over.

Right? Well, what we find is if you do the stats on that, there's more cars painted red than any other car. The other the most painted car is white. Yeah. I was gonna say around here, white seems to be the most popular vehicle.

But all people speed. Sometimes you get caught, sometimes you don't. Right? I don't ever. Right.

I have never sped except that one time on accident in Pocatello when I just kinda got up to 80 coming off the off ramp. In that 35. And then that officer started yelling at me. Yeah. I never got aggressive in my driving coming home when I was stuck in construction for three hours.

Don't remind me of driving through Seattle, man. So aggravating. So aggravating. So, let's see. What else do we have here?

Alright. Gabe must be mad. He wrote a paragraph here. Says it's happened twice now on Highway 91 coming from Pokey to Blackfoot. A semi behind me tailgating me to go faster than this posted speed limit.

First time I pulled over and called it in. Second time, I just stayed on cruise control at 55. The driver finally passed me going pretty fast, got way ahead of me, so I was unable to report. I was driving a Chevy Suburban. So for future reference, what is the best thing to do in that situation?

Drivers like that are gonna kill someone. Sounds like a Chevy Suburban is not fast enough to speed. There you go, Gabe. You need to get yourself one of them sports cars. Gabe, thanks for for, you know, obeying the law.

Yeah. And so, hey, the bottom line is just keep driving safe yourself, and keep calling it in. StarISPStar477. That we haven't put that out for a long time. You can call that in.

Gets go straight to our dispatch, and, we'll we'll try to get somebody over there. We have been getting some complaints over there on 91 between Idaho Falls and Shelley. We're gonna try to get some extra patrols over there, so, hopefully, you'll see that. Alright. So you travel that corridor.

Be ready. Yeah. Un unfortunately, there are a lot of idiots out there. I was driving on, Holmes the other day. You know, it was about That's nowhere near Kelly.

I I know. I know. I'm over there, you know, by Home Depot coming back toward the station, you know, ran and grabbed some lunch. So it was probably, like, 11AM. This guy, I I don't know how fast he was going.

Weaving and whipping through traffic. It's like, bro, where do you need to be? Your gut it's ten minutes across town. Like, he he must have been doing 70. It was crazy.

And he was going so fast that I couldn't get his license plate to call star four seven seven or star ISP. Years ago, I was in an unmarked car, and a guy was doing that. And we, you know, you always end up at the next stoplight with him. Yeah. So we end up it's a summer day.

So he's got his window down. I rolled down my window. He's in the Chevy pickup. I couldn't help myself. I rolled my window down.

I said, hey. Does that got a Hemi in it? Because it's fast. And then did you pull him over? He wasn't impressed.

So he says, you pull over to this parking lot. I'm like, okay. Oh, wow. So he pulled me over. What an idiot.

Oh, that's too funny. So we talked about aggressive driving. He was having a bad day, and I agree. What what was going on in his life that day was awful. Right?

But that's when things happen, and that's when accidents happen. And Yeah. When things happen, you do not wanna be responsible for crashes, injuring people, up to taking their lives. Right? So Yeah.

That's when we drive above our abilities. Therapist. You know, you can call a nice counselor. Or You're driving erratically. Right?

Yeah. Yeah. Just settle down people. Take pull over, throw on some meditation audio. Yeah.

Then, yeah, call up call up some counseling. You know, getting to talk to somebody. It's better than hurting somebody. Fools, don't drive like idiots. (208) 535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates.

Alright. Dustin wants to know, can we require continuing education credits? People in Idaho need to learn how to use roundabouts and learn how to merge properly? Alright? Wouldn't that be good if every five years you had to go pass the driving test?

I actually think it would be good. I'm I'm all for it as long as, I don't have to pay for it. You think the DMV's backed up now? Jeez. Or at least a written test like an online well, you could prove it.

Can cheat on a written test, and I can pass that for you. That's true. Dang it. I want it in person. Prove it.

Alright. Good good point. Good point. You know, something I saw when we were traveling last week was, people were setting up in parking lots and doing, like, I don't know if they were practicing drifting or something. They'd set up a bunch of cones.

They were at like a school and they were just whipping around in these parking lots. I guess I assume if that's a private property, you can just do that. Yeah. Alright. Not open to the public.

You know? Just interesting. And I was like, wow. That looks kinda fun. What do I pay to go drive fast?

Yeah. I wanna do that. If you wanna drive fast, we are hiring Idaho State Police. Oh. Yeah.

Alright. Yeah. You to drive fast and shoot guns. Isp.gov? Yeah.

Idahostatepolice.gov. Idahostatepolice.gov. Alright. Alright. There you go.

You're looking for a good, solid government paid job? Taxpayer funded? Retirement guaranteed. Retirement guaranteed. That sound pretty good.

Alright. Well, I'm gonna keep that in the back of my head here. Yeah. One of these days. Alright.

Michael wants to know if he's driving his box truck at its max top out speed of 65 miles per hour. And one of you guys, one of the staties, flies past past him while he's okay. I didn't read this whole question. Well, he's beer bombing Patron. Do we still need to pull over to the side, or is he good to keep going asking for his pet fish?

Hey. Be like those young men that, years ago pulled over in Rexburg and called and said, we're high. We need you to get here. Oh my gosh. That was the funniest story.

And didn't they have a bunch of weed too? Hey, help us. We're so high. So, yeah, if you're drunk and you see a police car, just pull over, call 911, call Star ISB. We will come, and we will help you.

If I drink too much, I can't drive. We would actually love it. Yeah. Those kids are fun. Yeah.

We need the cars. Oh, man. I forgot about that story. That was good stuff. Let's see.

Someone wants to know if they can tint their vehicle windows with colors other than black, like a color shifting tint. You can, but you still have to follow the rules of tint. Right? So no more than 35 percent on the driver's side, in the front passenger window, and, 20 in the back windows in the rear. Alright.

That sounds pretty sweet on my truck. 35. Yeah. I'm gonna have to go for that. I don't know where to get it.

But Yeah. They have it. You could see through it and stuff like that. So Alright. Well, I need money too.

But the one on the driver's side, you have to be able to see through. Okay. Both directions. Gotcha. Hey, people.

You can call this program. (208) 535-1015. It is a live call in show. I mean, we do have a lot of backed up questions here, but, we'd prefer live callers. So get it together.

What? You call peaches, but not me? What's wrong with you? I thought you you were my listeners. Fine.

I'm leaving. Alright. Let's see. What else do we have here? I guess we'd go to the backed up questions from Peaches post last week here.

Alright. Oh, we got a caller. K Bear, you're live on the show. Traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this?

Hey. Sunday. Sunday. Sunday. Get out of here.

Carl again. I mean, I'm just trying to help you guys out, man. Come on. People call in here. Yeah.

I I don't know. Everybody all quiet today. I don't know what their problem is. Right. But that's fine.

What you got? So I got a quick question. My, daughter just turned 18. She needs to go in and get her driver's permit. And I know that when you're well, back in my day, you could drive when you're 14 to 16, but you had to have an 18 year old, or older adult in the car with them, to drive.

So, being that she's 18, does she still need an experienced driver with her in the car as she's learning to drive? Do you wanna put your life on the line? I you know, she her, her little sister says, dad, she drives just like you. It's scary. Well, she's been learning for eighteen years, right?

Yeah. I mean, I mean, I guess when you're 18, do you still have to get a learner's permit? That's a great question. I I didn't know Carl was gonna come up with such a great question. Yeah.

Throwing you a curveball here, buddy. Because, yeah, I think when I, you know, learn to drive, you could get your learner's permit at 15 and you could drive like, you could only drive during the day. But, and I and maybe you had to have an adult with you, you know, after dark, but it's been so long. You know? My memory's garbage.

I I I think that's what the rule was. You had to have somebody over 18, after dusk. But I would assume I mean, is drivers that a requirement after a certain age? No. You don't have to.

And so in Idaho, if you're 18, you don't have to have an adult in there. Just So she can just go down, pass her test, and get her license? Yeah. Yep. You'll challenge it.

Okay. There you go. I know. And Good question. Tell her to avoid all your bad habits.

Oh, yeah. No. I I'm I'm okay. Don't do this. Don't do this.

Do this, but don't do that. You do as I say, not as I do. That's right. That's the that's the dad way. Yes.

Exactly. Right on. Right on. Alright. Well, thanks for the answer, man.

You guys have a good one, man. Hey. Thanks, Carl. You have a good one, man. Peace.

Yep. We'll see it. Bye. Alright. Two zero eight five three five one zero one five, the number to call for.

Traffic School powered by the advocates. Connor wants to know, is it enforced to cite people turning immediately into the furthest lane from them and cutting people off turning into the lane closest to them? The amount of times I have to slam on my brakes to avoid the vehicle swinging into my lane or watch others do it to avoid accidents is getting outrageous. Crazy mad. Crazy.

No. The only time it's forced is if it's disturbing my peace. I can tell you that you you can get pulled over for, turning into the far lane. Absolutely. And I hope the officers that see that are enforcing that.

Right? They're making on the stop, at least doing an educational stop. But as we've taught many times on this program, discretion is key. Right? So if we can educate and correct the problem, great.

But if they're not paying attention and they they've been stopped multiple times, enforcement's next step. There you go. Come up with a good excuse. Well, like you. You got 10.

I've always got some excuses on board ready to go. I didn't know I was supposed to do that. I'll start off too drunk. I would never told that that was law. Come on now.

Alright. George wants to know, how do car searches versus person searches work? Do I have to consent to both? Oh, that's a great question. Now depend are you a criminal?

There you go. Does your car stink at the scum? Does it stink? Now hey. Should we take this call, and then I'll answer that?

Yeah. Hey, Bear. Clients are currently having trouble finding you. Oh, yeah. With an agent immediately and verify your Google listing.

Again, your business is not showing you directly. You're not gonna be able to voice search. Press 1 to speak to an agent. What call this program? They called us.

Hello? Oh, they hung up quick. So quick that's like calling into Game Bear one zero one five. That's how the DJ treats you here. Typical callers.

So let's go back to that. Do I have to be searched? Right? If you're in your car and the officer just asked to search, no. You can say no.

If he asked to search a person, you can say no. But if the officer approaches your car and he can smell some odor of an illegal substance in your car, it's getting searched whether you like it or not. And I I love it when they're like, you cannot. This will not happen. That's when you bring the dog over.

Oh, no. We don't even need the dog. If we can smell it ourselves, we don't need the dog. Okay. Right?

What if they, you know, are, you know, potentially just, like, intoxicated on alcohol and you could smell alcohol. Is that a searchable condition? What's gonna happen then is they're gonna be pulled out of the car, and they're gonna be run through sobriety tests. If they fail the sobriety test and they're arrested for DUI, they give a breast sample and they're above the legal limit, We'll go back up. We'll do an inventory on the car, and if there's out there for alcoholic beverages.

Oh, okay. Yep. So anything that a beer can or shot glass or anything could fit in, you can search for that. You can't open the scope up, but man, you can see a lot of things looking for that stuff. Right?

Yeah. And so, yeah, that can be the case. Now if there's no odor or no indicators that he can justify, then he'd have to file for a search warrant. But then you're gonna have to justify the judge what are the indicators that I wanna look into and search his car. Gotcha.

Yeah. Okay. Good question, George. And, again, you people can call this program And we will hang up on you just like any good. Yeah.

I'm a pro. Phone calling. I'm a pro at hanging up on people. I wish we coulda got the agent on the line. That that's fun when that happens.

But (208) 535-1015, the number to call for Traffic School powered by the advocates. We should start a program on Thursday where we call Utah till they hang up on us. That actually sounds kind of fun. Just pick random numbers. And who do we have here?

I think as long as we say right out of the gate, hey. We're a radio station, then we're good to go. And we're calling to mess with you. We're just calling to to bother you. How's it going today?

K Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this? This is Shannon. Shannon, what's up? Well, I wanted to ask about, these larger trucks you see with their wheels, exceeding the width of their wheel well on the vehicle and if that's legal.

Hey. Guess what? Those trucks are no bigger than any other trucks. They just want wheels are. Yeah.

They just want you to believe it is. Right? Yeah. Right. Yeah.

Yeah. So yeah. So with that, they are illegal. And, man, they are windshield breakers. Yeah.

That's what we wanted to know. Yep. Yeah. They do break windshields. What is it if you, drop a coin from the, wheel well and it hits the tire?

Yep. Then it's illegal. Yep. The wheel has to be tucked up under the wheel well. And if not, it needs to have wheel, flares and, mudflaps.

Okay. That's what we we've heard that penny thing too. So All you got's a penny? Stinking, Victor. He's dropping $100 bills to see if in case he's doing better than me.

I wanna know where. I ain't got no change. Victor was gonna test his, but he walked the parking lot for a half hour, couldn't find a penny. I know. I ain't got a penny in sight.

He walked around with his hands in his pockets, his chin down, and tears flowing. Come on, Jade. I just don't a penny raise, buddy. He's like, can I borrow a penny to check this? And Jade's like, no.

You didn't pay me back from the last loan. Thanks, guys. Hey. Thank you. Have a great weekend.

You too. Bye. Peace. Alright. Let's see.

(208) 535-1015. Again, the number to call for a traffic school powered by the advocates. Cecily wants to know what is considered road hazards pertaining to stuff in the road to Idaho state law that would be reportable to insurance. You know, like, if something's in the road, at what point has damaged your vehicle. Yeah.

Would you be able to I mean, I would think any. Yeah. Damage. Right? What you have to weigh out there is if I claim this on my insurance, how much is it gonna up my insurance?

Talk to your insurance agent and ask them, hey. If I make a $500 claim, how much and a lot of people's deductible is 500. Yep. So you make the claim, you pay it all, and then you still get dinged on your insurance. So you need to know what that is.

Unfortunately, road hazards, if they're on the road and you just hit it, that's on you. Right? Yeah. And so you gotta be careful with that, and it's hard. You can't find who now we did have a situation last week where we had road hazard.

Some cars hit it. We found out who dropped the hazard, and we went back, and their insurance will fix the cars that got damaged. Right? So that does happen. But if it's just a rock or something on the road, we can't find where it came from or how it damaged cars, that's gonna come back on your insurance.

So you're gonna wanna talk to your agent, find out first and foremost how much is the damage to repair your car, how it's gonna affect your insurance, and would it be better to pay out of pocket. Alright. Great answer. What up, peaches? We did a slight remodel of the Cabaret logo.

You should see the Facebook page when you have the chance. Alright. Let's see. We interrupt this program for us. Glad you're keeping an update.

Glad you're keeping it important here, peaches. Alright. Slight update. Oh, that's pretty funny. I don't know if you've seen all the outrage about Cracker Barrel changing their logo.

Oh, no. Boy, I thought the world had problems till yesterday. Shut her down. Jeez. Well, that that's pretty cool, Peach.

Is that I'm gonna change oh, you did change our profile picture to it. Good. Good job. I've been meaning to change the That's why we pay you minimum wage. That's pretty funny.

So, anybody else? Last call, (208) 535-1015 for Traffic School powered by the advocates. Let me see if there was any other questions from Peaches post. People are very quiet today, Peaches. I don't know what's going on with everybody.

Jay probably took us off the air. Could be. Could be. I don't know what he's up to. Did we have listeners to begin with?

Or that? They're fed up. They're fed up. Oh, here we go. K Bear, you are live on Traffic School powered by the advocates.

Who's this? This is McKenna. McKenna, what's your question for the program? So my friend has an electric bike, which is considered to be motorized. Them jerks.

Go ahead. What's the law what's the law on having to license or register an electric bike? That's why I bring this up, McKenna, is because Victor's got a friend that has some electric bikes, and that guy is trouble. He is. He he we had to get new laws implemented in the town he lives in.

He gets out and just raises a ruckus. Bad influence on the community. So it looks like the way they're going here in Idaho, and not every community's went to this yet, but they're gonna make sure that you have it, registered as an off road vehicle if you're gonna use it on the roadway. So with an off road sticker, you'll need to be able to have turn signals, which can be your arm. You have to have a brake light, a headlight, and then you have to have a driver's license and insurance.

She didn't like that answer. Got it? Okay. Thank you. Okay.

Thanks for getting it. Have a great weekend. Oh, she's she's out of here. Wow. You really made her mad.

I think she lost her butt or something. K, Mayor. You're live on traffic school. Who's this? This is Butters.

How are you? Butters? Alright. Butters what up? I love Butters more than margin.

Oh, that one's a funny question, I got a debate going on, with one of my buddies. So up in Rexburg during, like, the parade, people leave their stuff on the side of the road, and it's kind of like, what is it? Where they leave their property or abandoned property. Yes. Where does that apply with, like, vehicles on the side of the road?

As far as enforcing that for them saving places for the next day's parade? Yeah. But, like, so it's like abandoned property. Right? And so when somebody leaves their car on the side of the road, is that considered abandoned property also?

Just don't go take it. I do have a story about this. I have a distant cousin who lived in Las Vegas. She was on the wrong side of the law for a long time of her life, and, there was a boat that had lost a wheel outside of Las Vegas going towards the lake. So her and her friends, one of them was pretty good mechanic.

They come by, see it. They go get the parts. They fix the wheel. They they pull it to the local parking lot, put a for sale sign on it, boat for sale. And the guy that owns the boat, he comes back looking for his boat.

It's not there, so he gets driving around. He's like, hey. That's my boat in the parking lot. Wheel's fixed. And it's got a sign on it, boat for sale.

Oh my god. So he goes walking in there. Hey. How much you guys asking for the boat? They tell him they're trying to sell the owner his boat back.

He they don't know he's the owner. He leaves, calls the police, and said, hey. I got a bunch of punk kids over here trying to sell my boat. So they call in an undercover cop, and they go over and he buys the boat from him. And to jail, they go.

Yeah. I mean, is there a time period that a vehicle could be abandoned? There is time periods that they're abandoned. We'll go over that, but there's no time period whatsoever that anybody from the public can go and just take the car. Oh, dang it.

Yeah. So when Man. When we mark cars, if they're out on the roadway, on the pavement, they get, until dark. So we'll mark them as abandoned, and we'll mark them tow it dark. Yeah.

And so they're not a hazard. And when we talk about that, it's any tire on the on the pavement. So if you've got your passenger tires completely off and it's just your driver's side tires on the pavement, we will still tow it. K. Now if you have a problem with your car and you're not gonna get back to it before dark, move it completely off the roadway so all four tires are off the road in the dirt, call our dispatch or the local dispatch so that they can call our dispatch, let them know we had a problem with our car, here it is.

It's a great idea to do that even when it's gonna be towed by dark just so it doesn't get towed. Right? Yeah. Plus it gives us your contact number so that if we do get calls and it needs to be moved, we can call you and have you do it sooner. But if it's off the the payment in the dirt, it's forty eight hours.

Okay. Okay. And then the process is this. We call next list record. They come and get it.

They process it. We send out certified letters to the owners telling them that their car's been towed, where it's been towed to, and how they have to take care of it. Awesome. And just hope you don't have a breakdown in income. No.

I'm I'm looking at picking up cars off the side of the road. Well, some can. Some can't. You might wanna get a tow truck. Weekend, guys.

You too, man. Peace. K. Bear. You're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates.

Who's this? Hey, Carl again. Oh. Triple threat. Alright, Carl.

What up, dude? So if somebody abandons a vehicle on your own private property, can you take ownership of that vehicle? I mean, you know, possession is nine tenths of the wall, all that. That's what your daddy told you. So on that, I'm actually dealing with that on a boat right now.

Some people asked to store a boat at a friend's house. They left the boat. The boat froze, broke. It's no good. They won't come get the boat, but yet they won't relinquish the title to them.

So what I told them to do is have it marked as abandoned, let the abandoned process work through, have a certified tow company come and get it. They can process the boat that way. Wow. Okay. Yeah.

But, you know, if it's on your private property, you have some ways of doing things normally you would not. Right. Right. Boom. But you can't just take it over because you have to have the title moved into your name.

Now you can go to our DMV specialist, vehicle specialist, and you can file paperwork to them just like their record drivers would do if they towed it, and you can file that paperwork, certified mail, hey. You either need to come take care of this problem or relinquish the title. All those things, time consuming, and financially, I don't know if it'd be worth it depending on the vehicle. And then after that, if they don't respond, don't do anything with that, then you can file for title. But you have to do that through our DMV inspector.

Right. Right. And I'd imagine that time period, that's probably a ninety day thing. You know? I mean, by the time you file the paperwork and they get back to you, I mean, that's probably a time consuming process, I'd imagine.

Yeah. Yep. So you gotta decide how much it's worth. Right. Right.

What the what the rule of thumb here is don't do favors for your friends. There you go. Go. Exactly. No.

You can't use my garage. I know. Unless unless you got that 57Bellaire you need a parking spot for, hey. I'm all about it. I'll replace the VIN plate.

Right. Yeah. No doubt. Oh, man. Hey.

So if I get pulled over for speeding Carl, that was three. This is four. How many questions do you get? If I get I get pulled over from speeding down. A cop.

I I identify as a race car driver. You think he's gonna buy that? Hey. You may find this, unbelievable, but there's some policemen that do have a sense of humor out there. I probably would have a comeback for that.

Yeah. My comeback actually got me in trouble with the chief back when I worked for the city because I had a guy tell me that. And I said, well, that's funny because I didn't see the, sign out front of the city say Indianapolis, and you don't look like Richard Petty to me. Oh, yeah. No.

So I, I had this car spray. And to give the cop credit, it did smell like alcohol. You know, it was like a strawberry From my breath? And so yeah. From my person.

He he comes up to the window, and he says, you've been drinking? I says, no. Why? You buying? He he had pretty good sense of humor about it.

Yep. I think one of the funniest ones I had, I had a guy said, you've been drinking tonight? He goes, you think I drive drive like this all the time? Of course, I have. Oh, man.

Oh. Oh, that's awesome. Gotta love honesty. Yep. Oh, yeah.

Oh, yeah. No. Yeah. Alright. Well, you guys have a good weekend, man.

You too, Carl. Thanks, man. You soon. Peace. Yep.

You got it. Bye. Alright. Well, looks like it's about that time, lieutenant Crane. Go back and do our real jobs.
