I don't know if the California Highway Patrol has ever produce a Driver's Ed
film, but
growing up reading CHP magazine (thank goodness the accident report photos were
in black &
white), not to mention hearing my dad's stories ( he was a CHP officer for 20
years in
Monterey County) kept me on the straight and narrow when I started driving.
Luckily I had
motorcycle racing as an outlet for my "need for speed".
Speaking of irrigation pipe, there was the accident my dad worked involving a
motorcyclist
and a field trailer full of irrigation pipe... OK, OK - I won't go in to
detail.
