The Viktor Wilt Show

Let's do this traffic school powered by the advocates injury attorneys. We got Lieutenant Crane coming at us from out on location. How's it going, man? I am doing so good. So good.

You know why I'm doing so good? Because you don't have to be in here in person? This is the 2nd week I haven't had to see you. I know. Ever since we did that video where you arrested me, yeah, you just took off.

Last thing people know, you put me in the cuffs, and that's the end. What do people say? Leave on a high note. That's what I did. So what'd you think of the, video that Maddie threw together?

I'm a little concerned that you and I may be getting an offer from Hollywood. I I think with my acting job, whoo. Oh, you've done good. I was a little bit disappointed when I watched it back because I thought I was playing a pretty good wasted person, out in the parking lot, but when I watched it I was like I should have gone really over the top with my wasted behavior. So Hey.

You know what? I I just realized, and I'm a little disappointed in. She didn't show the delay and resist that you were doing at the very end when I was putting you in the car. Yeah. Maybe they were worried about showing me getting slammed up against the cop car that, it was too crazy.

And I I think that those moments should have gone in. There's another video with the, the bad boys theme, in the background. Oh. And that one, I think, does show me get slammed into the, vehicle. So I I haven't shared that one yet, but I'm gonna get it out there soon.

Excellent. So listeners, people, traffic school powered by the advocates injury attorneys, 208-535-1015, the number to call if you'd like to ask us a question about the law. We rely on you to make this happen, so please call up and join us for the show. We had some online submitted questions. Alex wanted to know, on a divided highway, do you need to move over for emergency vehicles?

At what road, stature, organization do you need to no longer move over? Okay. So kind of the same as buses. Right? 3 or more lanes.

If you're traveling the opposite direction, you don't have to. But if you're on a thinner divider where you got a median and you're traveling the opposite direction, you don't need the yield. You can let them go. But, if you've got, you know, 4 lanes there going the opposite direction, you need to at least move over to the far right lane if you travel in the opposite direction. Okay.

So, like, on I 15 and roads like that? I 15, opposite direction, no worries. But two lane highway, pullover. Pullover. Nearest curb.

Get out of the way. Alright. You get, as Victor Wilt would say. That's right. You get, Alex.

Alright. Thank you for submitting that question, Alex. And, again, anybody who'd like to call in and join the show live to ask us questions about whatever, 208-535-1015. Now Brandon commented on my post with nothing to do with traffic school, but we were talking about growing your own toilet paper. Is this something you've ever considered?

Times are getting tough. Yeah. It's getting to be really expensive. So there are a variety of plants you can grow with big minty leaves with soft little hairs on them. And, yeah, you can just grow your own.

And the fragrant the fragrance would be outstanding. Exactly. They they've got some that have a minty fragrance, some with a bit of a lemony smell. So, you know, not only, are you going green, but, yeah. Things will smell nice.

Dual purpose. K Bear, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates injury attorneys. Who's this? This is Rich. Rich, what's up, man?

My question is similar to the previous one, but it's about, having to pull over for buses as opposed to emergency vehicles. So for example, I was coming down, a 4 lane road and there was a bus, with the lights going on one side, but on the two lanes, but on the right hand two lanes, does that need to stop? A school bus. Correct? Yes.

A school bus. Yeah. So what you need to do on 3 lanes or more, you don't have to if you're traveling the opposite direction. The rules of the school bus driver is if there's more than 2 lanes, they cannot allow that child to cross traffic. So 3 or more lanes, you don't have to stop for the school bus.

But I'll tell you, I would be more than cautious if it was, you know, if it looks like they're going the other side in that area. But, yeah, on school bus crossings, that's the the rule on that. But if you're going the same direction, you do have to stop. Oh, yeah. Absolutely.

Alright, man. Good question. And, hope you have a wonderful weekend, man. Thanks a lot. Rock on.

Hey. Thanks, man. See you. Oh, I did it. I hung up on Crane.

I knew I would do it. I knew I would do it. I had a bad feeling. I I did so many of these with him on the phone that I did not hang up on him, but, you know, I knew it was doomed to happen sooner or later. Loser.

I'm never gonna get that dispatch job. Oh, you have an emergency? Hang on. Let me transfer you, click. Can you get him back on the line?

No. I don't. Did you get their name? No. Did you get their location?

No. Sorry. I pushed the wrong button. That's okay. They were their emergency.

No. Their leg was caught in a bear trap. I don't know. They're in the woods. 208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates people.

Alright. Christina wanted to know why do people not read speed limit signs or use their turn signals or why people think it's okay to tailgate others when it can cause an accident. These are just general questions for stuff I've seen on a daily basis. What do you got? And I'll give you my, thoughts.

Total lack of respect for the law, Victor. Respect lack of respect for the law. I was gonna go with, people are stupid, but there's a lot of idiots out there, Christina. Terrible drivers. Not enough punishment for the crime.

That's right. I mean, you guys, you you get people for every little thing. When we were making our little video, you were like, you didn't, you know, do use your turn signal long enough and blah blah blah blah. It's annoying. It was annoying.

Yeah. It makes it clicking sound. And what they would ask is this, and why are you only enforcing the law on me? Do you not have better things to do? Yeah.

Yeah. Don't don't not pay your paycheck. Amen. Hey. We were talking about how times are tough.

Right? That's why you need to grow your own toilet paper? Yes. Well, I'm just telling you right now, and I wanna throw this out. The Idaho State Police is still hiring.

Alright. If you're up against tough times, you want a good job, you wanna be able to pay your bills with benefits, we are hiring. Get a hold of me. And I'll tell you, I'm looking forward to teachers putting that, little, project together that we're working on. Yes.

That'll be really fun. I'm excited for that. Stay tuned for details on our secret project listeners. But, yeah, if they want to apply, you're actually up at, graduation today. Right?

Yeah. We've got 4, we got more than that graduating, but we got 4 from district 6 that are graduating today. I'm gonna be at the graduation at the rotunda in the capital in Boise, Idaho. We're gonna be bringing 4 back to our area. So when that caller asks, why aren't these people getting stopped for these violations?

We got 4 more chances they will be. Well, and I was reading in the news. I mean, you know, we're entering into that time of year where the weather around here really sucks. You might get a free trip to Texas. So, you know, hot down there.

Come on people join us for traffic school or we're just gonna end it. Lieutenant Crane's got, graduates to deal with. So I'm sure he's got other things he can do than educate the public if you guys don't wanna participate. Alright. 208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates.

If you want to apply for the Idaho State Police, ISP dot gov. Correct, lieutenant Crane? ISP dot Idaho dot gov. ISP dot Idaho dot gov. Alright.

Start your career. K Bear, you are live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this? This is Blaine. Blaine, what's up, man?

Can you have lieutenant Crane tell us about the legality of people driving with frosted windows? Frosted windows. Okay. Lieutenant Crane stopped. Right?

Oh, I stopped. Okay. Yep. Any any vision obstruction out of it. Right?

Because it comes out of the same code as vision obstruction and and it doesn't matter whether it's ice up, fogged over, whatever it may be. If it's obstructing your vision, you're getting a crash, you're gonna have some liability in that crash. Now, depending on what it is, you could be sued civilly on top of your liability, affecting the other person's vehicles or whatnot. But, yeah, big risk. And nobody leaves their home in the morning thinking, you know what?

I wanna do $20,000 worth of damage to my car today. But it happens. So take a few minutes on a morning, you know it's gonna be cold. Start your car early. Let it defrost.

Have a scraper in your car. Clear your windows off. Be safe. There you go, man. Good.

Good question. And, a good thing to point out to people. Because I know when you get in a rush during the winter months, you might just scrape off a little tiny spot. I could see. Yeah.

Oh, yeah. Noticed it a lot lately. Now lieutenant Crane relating to that, if you've got, say, a foot of snow on top of your vehicle, are you required to clear that off as well? Because it could go flying off and smash somebody's windshield. You know what's funny?

We're not, we don't have a law that says, hey, you have to clear the snow off every bit of your car, but it does have to be cleared off to the point that you can see and your vision's not obstructed. So the snow up on the cab, you're absolutely good with, even though it's blowing off as you go. But your windows do need to be cleared off. And I'll tell you, a lot of times when you stop somebody for speeding or distracted driving, it's because they got a lot on their mind. Right?

So it's when you're running late for work, you jump in your car, your windows are frosted over, you scrape off a little tiny bit of vision, and the next thing you know, you're wrinkling your bumper and your day just got worse. Alright. Good good info to get out to people. Take a little bit of extra time because there's nothing worse than being stuck on the side of the road, vehicle all smashed up, and you gotta stand out in the snow. Ugh.

Well, and and let's look at it even further. Right? Okay. Damaging a vehicle, that's horrible. Injuring somebody, even worse.

Taking someone's life, absolutely the worst thing that could happen. But the other thing that can happen too is if you get in a center bender, it's your fault, your insurance company does a a check, finds that on your record, and now your insurance premiums go up, either because you got a citation or you got a claim against it to fix other people's vehicles. Yeah. And all because you didn't wanna scrape your window. There you go.

I did it. It took a few seconds to scrape your window. There you go. Well, appreciate the call today, man, and hope you have an awesome weekend. Thanks.

You too. See you. Look at that lieutenant crane. I didn't hang up on you, but that caller You are. They hang up on me.

Whatever. And we had every line lit, so everybody feel free to call us back. Can only do one at a time. K Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this?

This is, Bronson. Bronson, what's up? So what about I'll just say yesterday, I was traveling down a street, traffic everywhere, and there was about 2 feet in front of me. Well, maybe more like a car length, clearly. And I'm going waiting for the light.

We'll see a black car or license plate started with a c. We won't mention any states. But they she came in, zoomed in, and cut me off. And, you know, I mean, I I might have, you know, let him know, hey. I didn't appreciate that very much, you know.

Tooted in my horn for only about half a second. But so if he would have hit me and then taken off, what's what's the legality of chasing him through town? Because, I mean, if he's if he's trying to hit me and then running, you know, I don't wanna let him go because I wanna chase him down so I can pay it for my vehicle. What's what's the legality there? That's a great question.

And the legality is this, is if you have this license plate number, that's the best way for us to handle it because we can run that, chase all that information down that we need. The problem is if you start pushing a a road rage incident and you're pushing somebody and they get into a crash, you're gonna be held liable and you're gonna be culpable on some of that. So you don't wanna be doing that. Call 911. Call STAR ISB, which is star 477.

Get law enforcement involved as soon as possible. And the best thing you could do is just pull the shoulder of the road. And I gotta be honest with you. If they take bend up your bumper or let's say that you would have to get a new car, whatever it may be, that's a lot better than somebody losing their life because we're chasing somebody through town and causing another major accident. Right?

And so you gotta weigh out what what the worth is. Risk to reward. Yeah. But Lieutenant Crane, you know, turning the other cheek and letting the law handle things themselves, that doesn't sound very alpha to me. Yeah?

No. So And and let's talk about that. We just had a situation not too long ago, in our area down south where a road rage incident ended up where they pulled over and then one gentleman got shot and killed. It's terrible. It's horrible.

And so you just never know who your day all the way. And and that's why I didn't pursue it very much because like I said, they're from we'll we'll say a different state. And my wife has lectured me a few times about not getting too crazy because you don't know. Maybe, you know, maybe they do have a gun. I don't know.

Yeah. But yeah. So I was like, okay. I'll I'll try and try and lay off the caffeine and then driving at the same time. So yeah.

I mean okay. Well, hey. I'm pretty Good question. And another good message to get out to people, you know, with the road conditions changing and lots of people out and about, holiday season, stress, you know, just try to take a deep breath and, don't do anything irrational. So Yep.

Exactly. I think what the long term effects are gonna be. Yep. Well, appreciate it, man. Hope you have an awesome Appreciate you.

You too. Yep. Thank you. See you. Bye.

K, Bear. You're live on Traffic School powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys. Who's this? This is Tyler. Tyler, what's up?

My question is, concerning crosswalks at schools. Because, I go to pick up my kid at school and I see these cars parked right up against the, the crosswalk, and people can't see kids coming and going. My question is how far away do cars need to be parked legally? So that's interesting. If they don't have a mark, I can't tell you exact distance.

There is one. I can't tell you, but typically, they have that marked with paint back that distance so that they can't park up that close. I would hope that in a school crossing zone, they typically would have a crossing guard and that they would ask the people, the parents to park back far enough to keep that vision open, but I can't give you an exact distance right now. Okay. Alright.

That that's perfect because there's there's so many people that park right up against it. It's ridiculous. Oh, yeah. For sure, man. And when there's kids around, you know, as much caution and, courtesy as as possible, you know, try to try to be a nice human during the holiday season and, well, all times of the year.

You know, think about what you may be obstructing other viewers or other drivers from seeing. So Well, thank you, guys. Appreciate it. Hey. Thank you, man.

Hope you have a great week. Yeah. You too. See you. Bye.

K Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the Advocate's Injury Attorneys. Who's this? Rob. Rob, what's up, man? Al, there's a question for lieutenant Crane.

I know years ago that you press the issue about mud flaps on these pickups that were sitting all higher to draft back. The other day, I just I drive a big truck, and I just had a brand new windshield put in my truck, $790 worth. Yesterday, I had a pickup running out Sunnyside, on 6 foot. It bumper would've hit me about the belt line. He pitched the rock up.

And lo and behold, of all the places that hit right where I have to look to. So now I have to spend another $790 for a new windshield, so I don't get what lieutenant Crane's finest, you know, advised me that I'm gonna be parting with some of my hard earned money. If he would yeah. If he would reiterate that or reinforce that to people, you know, it'd be greatly appreciated. I know I'm not the only one that hates it.

Oh, yeah. I was driving behind a guy the other day who had, you know, multiple tires side by side, so they're sticking way out of the wheel wells, and, no mud flaps at all. I just got a new windshield recently as lieutenant Crane knows. And, boy, I nothing slowed me down so fast as, that moment with that guy in front of me because he was kicking up all kinds of stuff. And, thankfully, I got out without, any chips or anything.

Yeah. You know, I'm, you know, I'm not trying to be obnoxious to these people. They're they're more than welcome, you know, to modify you know, to customize their vehicles they see fit, but they need to, you know, they need to have some consideration for others, you know. That's another thing. The headlights, those bright lights, they lift these pickups and big wheels and tires, but they don't take the moment to re their headlights.

And some of us have drive little smaller vehicles or behind you, and they're about melting your eyeball out of your skull. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Absolutely. You know, we've talked about the the bright headlights a lot on this show, and, generally, it's not very hard to point them down a little bit, you know, jump on YouTube if you don't know how to do it.

Yeah, exactly. All, all I could tell you is this. You need to talk to Victor because I know his windshield didn't cost him $795. It did not. I recommend, you know, checking out, Rocky mountain windshield.

They, hooked me up. Great. And, Yeah. You know, I've because I live where I live, I set my, comprehensive deductible really low because I, I mean, how many windshields have we all replaced around here? Oh, boy.

Right. Right. So, yeah, if there's one one place you're gonna go with the low deductible, I'd say comprehensive so you can get your windshield fixed every couple years. But I will tell you this, the the enforcement on that is, it states 11 inches from the ground to the bottom of a mud flap unless it has a stock high bumper. Well, the problem we have is a lot of these 1 ton pickups, 3 quarter ton pickups, their bumper is a lot higher than that.

And so their clearance is a lot more than 11 inches with no mud flaps, which makes it legal. So that's tough. But the outside of the wheel well, any kind of tire outside of the wheel well is illegal. So, yeah, you do have a great concern on that. One thing I'd like to throw out there, Victor, is I did look it up, and it's 30 feet from the crosswalk.

It's, the distance. Oh, wow. Okay. That's a pretty good distance then. So Yep.

Alright. Well, appreciate the call today, and, hope you have a great weekend, man. Oh, thanks. You gentlemen have a good weekend yourself. You too.

See you. Bye. Alright. Sarah posted online, I can rarely come up with good questions, but I just wanted to say, I love traffic school listening to you guys on Friday morning makes my week. Thank you, Sarah, for the kind words, Lieutenant crane.

I just noticed my delay is it doesn't appear to be working, which makes me a little bit nervous. So you want me to cuss? Yeah. Do do you have any profanity that you're, what's your favorite swear word? So I guess we should probably maybe maybe call it a lawyer.

Rock up. Is that when somebody throws a rock up, breaks my windshield, or when I mash myself with a hammer? Different words for those moments, man. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. My daughter says if my child, which would be my grandson starts using a certain word, I know that he's been riding with his grandpa too much in the vehicle. Well, and that's when you tell her, but come on, it's funny, you know, listen, you know, maybe you could laugh. I always thought it was hilarious when my kid little kids would swear out of nowhere. And I don't even think it's a swear word, but I was like, yeah.

Yeah. I call people that when they don't drive appropriately. You you gotta switch to pudding head. You know? You can get away with that one.

You get you putting head. Well, yeah, I guess since the delay ain't working, let's just call it for now because I know that some caller would be like, He said the delay isn't working, and they'll just drop a fan. People who don't like me, they wanna get me fired. So Well, now that you let the cat out of the bag. Yeah.

You're a cat man. I know. I know. Well, it's mean to keep the cat in the bag. You know?

They're how's your cat doing? Oh, amazing. Yep. Lucy's mama. Doing good?

Yes. Yes. Very much so. Alright. Well, Lucy's doing good.

She's been, living inside of the Christmas tree as much as she can. She loves it. She's crazy. She's a lot of fun. So thank you again to your family for for the hookup.

Excellent. Alright. Well, I'll let you have your Friday back. Thanks for, the time that we did get to spend. Just realized, people, that, we are going into the winter months.

We've been kinda spoiled to have some beautiful blue days, but winter's coming. Be ready to add some time into your travels. Prepare yourself to add some time into clearing your windows off and just be safe. Make sure your tires are good, all those things that you need to be ready for emergency winter travel. Absolutely.
