The Viktor Wilt Show

Welcome to the show, Lieutenant Crane of the Idaho State Police. How's it going? It's going good, thank you. Yeah, it has been going good. The weather's been really nice. Boy, people are out and about, aren't they? Absolutely, man.

And hopefully, not driving like morons. Have we had that one day of spring yet? I was it yesterday?

Or for the last few months? I'm surprised you're not like, let's get out on that boat. No, you're not getting in. I'm talking to other people about that, not you. Well, fine. I don't want to go on about it. Remember, you said something about men don't ask other men to get on their boat. That's what I read online. It's not manly.

And it's worked out real good with my wife that I've been just asking women. I've just stoked. Just stoked. I'm like, honey, Victor said I could only ask women. Yeah, I. Hey, I read it online. It's got to be true.

It's not the truth. Yeah. So listeners, you know what this is. This is traffic school powered by the Advocates injury attorneys. And we're going to want you to give us a call here in a few minutes and ask us some questions about the law. Boy, I'll make the program go a lot better. It really helps when you call. I made a post online asking for questions.

Nobody posted any questions. So yeah, right now it's looking rough. Hey, I'm hoping there's a car show this week in a booktel. I'm going to be there.

Oh, you're going to be a toky. Yeah. Yeah.

Well, I'm sure crazy car. He's got that phone. He's just waiting. I can't wait for the advertisement to go.

That's right. You know, he's going to call and plug it. So my wife's like, how do you know there's going to be a car show? Sun's out. So I'm going to go there and invite all the girls to go boating.

Yeah. What about asking a dude to ride in your car? Yeah, probably not manly either.

That'd be worse than the boat. I think so. Yeah. I think so. It's like a small confined space. These are almost touching. That's right.

Definitely not manly. Good work. Good work. Is it going to be that kind of show today?

Well, what's going to happen around here? I'm glad I work with a professional. Only the best. Oh, I did win the regional award in the Idaho's best competition for best radio show. How many was entered in that one? I don't know.

I don't pay attention to those losers who did not win. They went into it and said, well, let's see. We give that to the station three times. So we've got to move it around. So headed to the state finals.

Oh, hopefully. You know, I think it's been like two years since I took home the state award. You know, I pretty much always win the regional. Oh, yeah, you're the best, baby. Everybody knows it. Everybody knows it.

208-535-1015 is that number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. Let's see what what dumb stuff did I have from earlier in the week? I read a story about a guy who was arrested in Washington state for riding an electric unicycle while intoxicated. They gave him a DUI. Now we've talked about riding bicycles and horses and things like that. Could you get a DUI on an electric unicycle in Idaho? It's really considered a motorized vehicle. The question becomes is it, you know, and now they've got all this electric stuff and you got to do the math and carry the one.

Yeah, I know it's all too confusing. Yeah, it depends on if he's operating it as a motorized vehicle, you know, out in the roadway. OK, at forty nine C.C .s or graders got to be licensed. There's a bunch of stuff to that. So OK, so what about those electric scooters, you know, that are parked all over the place? Could you get a DUI on one of those?

If you can ride one of those. While intoxicated, we just like to see it. And three out of four emergency doctors do to. All right, just curious.

Have you ever ridden a unicycle drunk? Neither, neither, neither way. All right, let's go to the phones here. And I bet it's crazy Carl. I bet he's all ready for that car show plug.

Cabe, you're live on traffic school, powered by the advocates. Who's this? This is Aaron. Oh, well, all right.

Could you could you make us feel good to say this is crazy Carl? So I was wondering. Nope, you can't.

The pain on my head. You just do your own thing. Like. Zipper entrances, right? And if someone isn't able to get on to the highway and gets in a wreck, who has the liability? It's your responsibility if you're in or in the highway to enter and merge without affecting traffic. So if you budge your way in getting a fender bender, it's going to be your fault. Gotcha.

OK. All right, thanks for participating today. Drive safely. He's like, gosh, that cop was right. Dang it.

I got to play guilty. 208 535 1015, the number to call for traffic school, power by the advocates, everybody. All right, I had a link here. I don't remember what this was.

So let's find out. Classic cars. Close out that image of your sweet ride. Oh, come on here. Come on.

I don't know how to do anything right today. I will tell you this. Bunch of bull crap. It's not just today we've noticed. We talked last week about the move over law. Yes.

About if there's an emergency vehicle on the shoulder of the road, you're required to move to the left lane or the right lane, the opposite lane, no matter which one they're on. Yeah. And give them space. The law also says if that lane's occupied, then you just need to stay in your lane and slow down.

Well, it's caused some problems as we talked out on the roadway where people are trying to zip over and then they block traffic and it gets it's a stalemate. Well, we're going to do a segment on that today. We're going to have a reporter out in the car at four o'clock. So watch your evening news on eight and you'll see a segment on that.

All right, everybody. Local news eight at four p.m. Well, that's when they're going to film it. So that's what they're going to film. So later this later this news. What do they call that click bait?

Click bait. I'm sure they'll share it. Well, you I'd assume they'll share it on their socials.

Oh, yeah, it'll be out there. So make sure to watch that people. Learn how to drive. You know, they should do a segment on how to use a roundabout. Really, you and I were supposed to do that. I know when are we going to get around to getting out and filming it?

Well, you are so good at what you do. How many years have we been having that on our docket? Oh, at least 10.

Jades probably got some other things you're supposed to do 10 years ago that still aren't done. Oh, yeah. Oh, you got plenty of work for me. Needs to be done. Many yells at me.

It doesn't take much work when you've got to to do less 10 years old. Well, let me see if I can remember that right. Hey, Marvin, I got a great idea. Let's do it immediately.

And we'll get around to it. Not today. I want to go home just sleep. Oh, I really do. I really do. Oh, I was up way too late last night.

So. Somebody posted in the Life and Idaho Falls group about these things called flock cameras. Do you they say that red light cameras were installed 10 years ago and they think they're a good thing overall. They're not opposed to law enforcement being able to track license plates to some degree either.

But they're concerned about the direction these things are taking. What in the heck is a flock camera? Do you see that? I see the camera. I don't know what that is.

What I will tell you what I do know is this. A lot of the cameras up on the stop lights were there years ago for the purpose of. Indicating when a vehicle pulled up to the light.

Yeah, to activate or unactivate the light. Yeah, we got blamed that those were tracking cameras that we could just track you anywhere in the world with that. Yeah, that's what you'd assume they weren't ours.

Right. I will tell you there are some cameras out there that are plate readers and as far as the state police, we don't own or maintain any of those. But we do have access to some of them. OK. Well, and I guess you guys are going to be probably needing more of those when they change that sticker law, right? Oh, no sticker. Yeah, no sticker anymore.

Now, a plate reader wouldn't do you any good on that either unless you went and looked at it, right? Yeah. And so the argument was now I've got troopers they could walk through your parking lot and be like expired, expired, you know, just by first glance. Yeah, you just look at the color because they're so used to doing it, right? Yeah.

Now, with that, that's not going to happen anymore. What's going to have to happen is they're going to have to say, oh, I wonder if that vehicle is expired and then run the registration through our dispatch center, then get the return and then determine whether they need to take enforcement. OK, so make sure to drive really good.

If you've decided I'm never going to reregister my vehicle again. Don't look suspicious. That's my son says the cops are here at normal.

K-Bear, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? Friday, Friday, Friday. There he is. He's late because he's still asleep.

Good for you, Carl. I wish I could sleep in. Yeah, I didn't get to work this morning very early.

Carl, you're not supposed to be knocking them back until Friday night. Yeah. Yeah.

Oh, man. So I just bought a go car for my boss. So I'm going to be one of the cool kids in the neighborhood because everybody else is running around in go carts and motorcycles.

So being a residential neighborhood, it's only 25. Is that legal? The go carts illegal.

I don't care how fast you drive it. So, I mean, nobody, nobody cares in my neighborhood. I mean, the kids are running up and down the street.

They're not hurting anybody. And I got a really good deal on this go car. Hey, careful, because everybody in the world is going to be moving to your neighborhood because every other neighborhood is like, those kids. I'm actually encouraging. I mean, we had this kid, he comes up and he says, hey, do you have any chores? I need gas money. I'm like, here's 10 bucks, dude.

Go ride that stuff. You know what you did? You had me in my can and a garden hose.

Let me show you how we used to do it. Make sure when you take it, look, don't do it with the lighter. Use your flashlight. No.

If you would have been a little bit older and seven years old, I probably would have shown him that trick. No. Now, could you register a go car to drive on regular roadways?

Not a small go cart. No, no. OK, you get ran over by a semi. Everybody at work said, you're going to die on this thing like running back and forth between the shops. So I don't know about you two, but I think every young young man wanted to go car growing up. So I was going to build me one and I wasn't very successful.

I had it somewhat out of wood and in closet hangers and stuff. And my uncle showed up from Montana and he'd heard I wanted it. And so he he treated me right. He comes down a couple of weeks later from Montana and he'd bought me one off the racetrack. What?

Yeah. And that thing would do like 80 miles an hour. My my parents were so proud of him. Man, I bought you a go car. It was only about an inch off the ground in the front racing slicks. Big old Briggs and Strat motor in the back. And wow. Yeah.

That's great. How old were you? Oh, geez, I was probably 10. And man, you spoiled little rat.

And by my uncle, my uncle. But I had a buddy come spend the night. We crouched in that we somehow both of the squoze behind the steering wheel. That at about 60 miles an hour, the chain come apart and beat through the back of the seat and his shoulder and we went and got like 60 stitches.

Shoulders. Oh, my God. You'll got a scar from that, I bet. Will you be careful on your go car, Carl?

I need to I need to put some of those dune buggy flag on it, you know, just so people can see what they hit when I hear the thump thump. One thing I didn't realize, Carl, think about this too, when you're running that around, you're probably pretty quiet. But the other thing I lived out in the country, I didn't realize it sound traveled as well as it did.

So my dad was always trying to think safely. Oh, yeah, I will. As soon as I get down the corner, I'd open it up or my motorcycle up and I'd come back and be like, I heard that. Yeah, and try to not drive your neighbors too crazy, Carl. Oh, no. Oh, I will.

I will. And all you people that call me that say your neighbors are calling in on your kids move to Carl's neighborhood. Exactly. We encourage it.

Absolutely. Hey, is there a car show this weekend? Oh, I have no idea.

No, I don't. Well, there's always cars and coffee at a key bank. You also know, Amita, we're doing a birthday party. Oh, Bob is Bob is such a cool kid. He's he's autistic, but he can tell you everybody's name, what they drive. I've seen him identify cars.

I've never even seen a type S Subaru right hand drive, and he immediately knew what it was. Wow. And so anyways, yeah, we're doing a I'm doing a big old barbecue. Got 14 racks of rigs to go on the grill and hopefully we'll get about all 60 70 cars in the parking lot. So very Bob's birthday.

He's a good kid. Is that Saturday? Sunday, Sunday from noon to two. OK, but Saturday at key bank.

I don't Sunday, key bank. Yeah. Yeah. OK, so nothing going down Saturday. I guess you're not going to be able to visit a bunch. I've been I've been I'm invited.

Absolutely. Oh, come down and get you some ribs, man. Most parties are really good till the cops show up. Nobody opened their trunks. That guy's undercover.

Why is he got an engine that's sticking out the back of that car? Well, I hope it all goes good, Carl, and I hope you have a good weekend too. Right on. You guys too, man. We'll talk to you soon, man. All right. See you, Carl. All right. Get to work.

208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. The award winning. The award winning. Wilt, Joe, and this program is award winning too. And we're going to win that award again this year. I'm going to make sure to not forget. Yeah, that's the key to that, right? Being entered.

Yes, you do need to enter to win. So we got this. What you doing? I don't piece of cake. Yeah, look at all the colors. That's right. Help us win, everybody.

208-535-1015. Yeah, I've exhausted my very minuscule amount of topics that I had here. Well, let's see if we've got any online questions. Let's talk about motorcycles again. OK. Yeah, we talked about that. They're coming out.

Be aware, be visual of them. With that being said, we've already had two serious motorcycle crashes in our area, had a fatal in another area. So, man, that's a horrible way to start out the year with that. But, man, just be careful, be vigilant of motorcycle riders and motorcycle riders, be defensive drivers. Yeah, please be cautious, people, even though the weather is nice. Yeah, you got to be you got to be aware on the roadways.

That's the best time to be a tenning. Dave. Oh, Peaches wants to know what bread are you watching get sliced today?

Yeah. Last week, I'm in the middle of this show and we think we're killing it. I look over and Victor's watching some man. That is a violation of man code too. Yeah, it's not manly to slice bread. Yeah, but I look over here watching some video of a guy slicing bread.

Let me refresh this here. If there's more bread slicing going on, what in the heck is going on? Some AI thing like just commented. It's giving us questions.

It's like it's listening to us knowing that nobody's calling. It asked like 20 questions. Well, let's get started. All right. Well, first we'll go with the one from listeners.

Now, wait a minute. Would AI need to ask a question because it has all the answers? That's what you would think, right? Yeah.

Yeah. It already knows the answer. So why is it asking? It's testing us. Oh, no, this is getting weird.

It's getting weird up in here. Meridian would get a note from it saying, hey, you didn't get rid of that guy. He failed this test. He only got a 63. Larry says on I-15 and Pokey, where it's still under construction and the speed limit is 65, and people are speeding. Would I get a ticket for impeding traffic? Or is it the other people who are speeding who would get the ticket?

The people speeding would get the ticket. Yeah. There you go. Yeah.

If you're doing 65, you're doing fine. But yeah, those others are taking a risk. And we shared this before. The lieutenant down there in district five said, man, that is where all their tickets are coming from right now. Well, I would imagine.

I drove through it yesterday. It's are they ever going to be done for one? And then are those like concrete barriers permanent? Like there's so many different routes and things. It's confusing right now. It is. It's I don't want to call it a mess. But I don't want to be that guy that I am.

But it's been going on for years now. Once again, I want good roads to drive on. I just don't want them done. Yeah. Well, no, I do want them done. Yeah, I just don't want them to be worked on, I guess.

I just want them done now. When I turn off my line, go to bed. When I turn it back on, it should be done.

That's right. Overnight, fix it, be done. But hey, maybe you ought to start a road construction crew that overnight fix it. We could use that. Because I don't see a lot of people out working at night around here.

What? It's too cold during the winter. Too cold. Let's see here.

Conditions coming from a guy that sits behind a desk all day. I know I got it rough. I'm like all sleepy. And hey, you want to go to my room? No, I want to go to my recliner.

Take a nap. Dired. I know. Dude, that's all I want to do every day.

And it seems like I just don't get to do it. So I don't care what's going on. Tomorrow I am sleeping in. I'm going to get some sleep. Uh, let's see here.

AI wanted to know, is wearing headphones while driving illegal? Oh, we've talked about this. Yeah.

No, I don't have any code that says you can't wear headphones. All right. But it's probably a bad idea. Because you can't hear what's going on around you. You can't hear what's going on around you. Boy, you want to run heavy equipment. They don't want you having headphones on, right?

Because they want you to hear everything. Yeah. Yeah. And you're not going to hear the sirens when you guys are creeping out. Supposed to be checking your mirrors, Victor. Mm-hmm. Let's see. What's the speed limit in roundabouts?

That's a roundabout question we haven't had. As fast as you can go. I like to get in there and go fast.

They're mostly marked at 15 miles an hour. Okay. Yeah.

That sounds about right. I mean, how fast do you think you could go? Oh, I'd love to try that.

I'd love to try that. I mean, that's a small racetrack. There's a place down in Mesquite that has a speed limit sign that says 11.5 miles an hour. What?

Yeah, there's one. Look, how did you come up with that in the board meeting? Well, they also have those pot shops in Mesquite.

So maybe that's part of it. 11.5, man. 15's too fast, man.

That was flying by. Come on, people. Call us. What's your problem? You heard me earlier.

If you don't call, you suck. You're a loser. Or no, I said you're an idiot. That was what I said, right?

You use bull so often. I'm really not sure. That was when Jade was in here. And no wonder you don't remember.

I was telling Jade that people who don't call traffic school today are all idiots. I'm trying to help. I know it's going to help us a lot.

208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. There we go. See, it did work.

Okay, Barry, you're live on the show. Who's this? Hey, Jeremy.

Jeremy, what's up, dude? You get two extra points on the ISAT test. You are smart. You're smart, Jeremy. Oh, I don't want to be a dummy. Why? It's kind of fun.

Not today. Highway 26, heading toward Swan Valley. They built old Mount What For out there when they put that new reservoir in. And the Idaho Falls side, there's a speed limit sign in orange, saying 55 miles an hour. The rest of that road is 65. Do I have to do 55 going past Mount What For? Nope. You have to do the 65 that's posted in black and white.

Okay. So the orange speed limit sign, they're more of a recommendation. It's saying there's construction ahead. And the reason that was out there is because they were hauling so much of that dirt back and forth from there to another pit. And it was a suggested speed to slow down. We were having troubles because obviously those trucks loaded could not get up to speed very quickly.

And they weren't going very far and have to change from the number two lane to the number one lane and then make a left-hand turn. Copy that. So 55 is recommended, but 65 is the speed limit. Yeah. And 75 is discouraged.

And 85 is a definite ticket. All right, gentlemen. Thank you so much.

Hey, thank you, man. You have a good one. See ya. Okay, Bear.

You're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? It's Lindsay.

Lindsay, what's up? Oh, nothing. I just didn't want to be an idiot.

Okay. Lindsay, you're smart. You are intelligent.

You are not an idiot. What score did you get on your ISAT test? I don't want to talk about that. I didn't even take mine.

I was like, well, no, look where you're working. I try to keep it to the bare minimum. I don't pay my parking fine or parking tickets.

Nothing. Well, that has to get up on Saturday and take it. You know, it's been a few years since I called Poke High and asked them if they still have my diploma sitting there and my, uh, you know, fines that I need to pay for parking in the teacher parking lot.

I mean, I graduated 26 years ago. I wonder if they still got it. You know, and if they still expect me to pay those tickets because I'm not going to do it. Yeah, with interest. Oh, they better not charge interest.

Then they're definitely not getting a penny. Well, Lindsay, what can we do for you? Uh, that was all.

I just didn't want to be an idiot. No, I'm just kidding. So, you know, those, those variable speed limits on the freeway by Osgood?

I do. So there's a couple of, like there's a sign that's a variable one and then like three feet later, there's an actual speed limit sign. So is the variable speed limit sign just until you get to a regular speed limit sign? Or does it like take precedence over that for a certain distance?

Or how does that work? I can see now why you scored so poorly on the ISAT test. Thank you.

No, Lindsay, that's a great question. And that permanent sign should be taken down. It should be take just running off the variable. And the purpose for those are as these dust storms that we've been getting and we had had to shed it down a couple of times last week, zero visibility. But I would just say this until they get that taken down, just know if that variable signs down from 80 miles an hour is because there's visibility problems in the area and slow down just out of the abundance of caution. Yeah, I figured it was kind of like, but it's just confusing because I mean, they've been up for quite a while. They've had those variable ones for a decent amount of time now.

And the permanent one is still just, I mean, it's just right on the other side of the overpass from the one. Well, I'm glad you brought this up because I've got a meeting with them this coming week. And I'll tell them, let's get them down. Okay. And I'll put a sign up there that says, thanks to Lindsay. The other one's on the other side. Yeah.

Yes, I need my credit. Thank you. But the ones on the other side actually need to be put back up because there you got broken or something and they're just laying on the side of the freeway. Now you just add more to my to-do list that I'm interested in. Make a list. You know what else you need to do. I'm just kidding. That's all.

All right. Oh, there's probably plenty he needs to do. I'm sure there is. Well, thank you, Lindsay. And I hope you have a great weekend. You do the same. Thank you. Okay, Bear.

You're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? This is Connor. Connor, what's up, dude? Hey, man. I got a question for your officer there. I'm a CDL truck driver.

No, no, no, no. Hey, so I do a heavy haul and I'm one of the cool guys. I do the halls that no other man will do. That's right.

Don't forget it. I think you can haul this. I can haul anything bigger than you can. So tell me, is there a law in Idaho saying how far a vehicle has to be in front of one of us when they cut us off?

Oh, when they come back into your lane? Correct. Yeah.

It's reasonable, right? And it's not necessarily even heavy. It's just any commercial vehicle they need to give space and room because you guys can't stop like others. No, I mean, when you're hauling 100,000 pounds and you got some knucklehead that sides a pole in front of you and all of a sudden your truck wants to hit the brakes, I mean, it can cause a real bad accident. I just, I think drivers need to be aware that they need to give trucks a lot more space than what they do around here. I think you're absolutely right.

And that's a great promotion on it right there. Thank you very much. You guys have a great day. Hey, you too, man. Peace. All right. We've got a guest in the studio. I was pointing, trying to point at this microphone and tell you to use it.

I thought you were trying to land an airplane. It's Ravonda. It's Ravonda in the house. Her taxi just brought her in. Yep. She got dropped off. Yeah. And she brought us food, brought us some snacks.

Not much. That's a tiny little brown bag. You can pack a lot in there. That looks like about the size of a whiskey bottle. Oh, that's what's in the brown bag. Oh, those headphones aren't plugged in. Well, it's not like we're getting calls anyway.

So here, let me see that here. Will it reach 208-535-1015, the number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. Can you hear now? Yeah. Okay.

Cool. Yeah, we got Ravonda in the house. Any questions for traffic school, Ravonda? No, I don't know.

I gotta think about it. What'd you get on your ice at this test? I didn't even graduate. That's right. Team Down with School.

Yeah. I dropped out. I was like, nope, I'm not doing this anymore. And I've been a quitter the rest of my life. Yeah, now I'm just a bartender.

Well, everybody, if you would like to call us, it's final call, last call, as Ravonda would say, for traffic school powered by the advocates, 208-535-1015. Well, thank you for bringing some breakfast. Yeah, I got a bunch of stuff for you, peaches and jade, whatever you guys. Just not crane, right? Well, if crane wants some, you could totally have some. I could just watch you guys eat.

Well, food does sound pretty good. Now you see why I'm the littlest out of the group. I never get any. None for you.

No, we don't share. I did offer you some peanut butter pretzels. Yeah, peaches, nasty mitts have been in them. Yeah, look at how many of these peaches ate yesterday. Dang.

I mean, I told the listeners it's a large container. And those he didn't eat, he licked. Yeah, yeah. He probably did. Oh. All right, we got a final caller.

Kay, Bear, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? This is Donna.

What was that? This is Donna. Oh, Donna, how's it going? Well, good. But we've all wanted to talk to Ravanda for eons.

I am here. Where do you bartend? Where do you live?

When can we hang out? That's a lot of personal information. You want my Social Security card number two? Let's cut to the chase.

Where are your credit cards? I asked for your firstborn, but they probably were pretty scary, too. Yeah, she's kind of crazy one.

Yeah, I'm a wild card, but if you ever want to come see me, I'll be out to alibi. All right. Well, there you go. We hear your stories and we're like, yeah, we need to go hang out with Ravanda on Friday morning.

Yeah. And you're a real friend if you're sitting in the jailhouse with her on Friday afternoon. We'll have real fun at the jailhouse. Truth be told, it's probably me that got us there. You can just hop in the car with me.

We'll just be drinking beers. Ravanda, bad. Bad Ravanda. All right. Have fun guys. Hey, thanks, Donner. You have a good one. All right, today's show ended up pretty decent.

Not too bad. We have one good caller. Yeah, I think we educated the public on a few things. Yeah. Anything else new coming as far as laws that you've heard of? Well, no, we'll go over them and they should be coming out in the next 30 days or so, and then obviously go and infect on July 1st.

Okay. Well, I can't wait to see what they do to us now. So I heard you guys talking about like the roundabouts, like how fast you can go. Well, you get pulled over. It wasn't a challenge. If you just keep going over and over and over.

No, what you'll get is dizzy. And with the gas prices, like they are, you know, that's a lot of money down the drain. It's like buying lottery tickets. Yeah, you didn't buy any lottery tickets, did you, Ravanda? Actually, I didn't today. I should have.

No, don't waste any more money on those. Always lose. All right, everybody, catch traffic school every Friday morning, 845 a.m. You have an awesome weekend, Lieutenant Crane. You too. Enjoy the weather.

And you have an awesome weekend as well, Ravanda. Or you might be hanging out for a few, I guess. Yeah. All right. Cool. We'll be back. Traffic School is a production of Riverbend Media Group to get more info on the show or to contact us. Hit up our website, riverbendmediagroup.com.
