[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 325469, member: 1963"] On my way back from Milwaukee recently, I had my hood latch pop and jam a few inches open while on an entrance ramp to HWY 39. I couldn't get the dratted hood lever up all the way to open it, and I couldn't get the hood reseated either. I turned on my flashers and went to dig out my AAA card to call for roadside. Within a minute there were flashers right behind me. County Trooper--one Cpl Smith by name. He was very polite and helpful but did (as he should've) take my driver's license to run it. We both were completely on the shoulder. As he walked back to his squad car, a huge SUV came hurtling past. It came within inches of hitting this trooper. He had to dive between the two cars to avoid being killed. I freaked and jumped out of the car to run back and see if he was OK. Luckily he was other than a scraped hand and a really dirty uniform. You think not having people see flashers is bad? Imagine someone too dumb/inattentive to notice a marked patrol car with every single light it owned flashing. [/QUOTE]
