OK State Troopers can sure run fast
 
In most of the United States , there is a policy of checking on any
stalled vehicle on the highway when the temperatures drop down to
single digits or below.
About 3 AM, one very cold morning, Trooper Allan Nixon #658
responded to a call there was a car off the shoulder of the road outside
Shattuck . He located the car, stuck in deep snow, and with the
engine still running. Pulling in behind the car with his emergency
lights on, the Trooper walked to the driver's door to find an older
man passed out behind the wheel with a nearly empty vodka bottle on
the seat beside him.

The driver came awake when the Trooper tapped on the window.
Seeing the rotating lights in his rearview mirror, and the State
Trooper standing next to his car, the man panicked.

He jerked the gearshift into 'drive' and hit the gas. The car's
speedometer was showing 20-30-40 and then 50 mph, but it was still
stuck in the snow, wheels spinning.
Trooper Nixon, having a sense of humor, began running in place next
to the speeding, but still stationary car. The driver was totally
freaked, thinking the Trooper was actually keeping up with him. This
goes on for about 30 seconds, then the Trooper yelled at the man to
'Pull over!'

The man obeyed, turned his wheel and stopped the engine.
Needless to say, the man from Dumas, Texas was arrested, and is
probably still shaking his head over the State Trooper in Oklahoma
who could run 50 miles per hour.
