[0:15]Hey, good morning. Trooper Brown with the Highway Patrol. How are you today? I'm doing great. Hey, the reason I'm stopping is we have a special enforcement campaign going on. We're trying to educate drivers about violations they may not realize they're committing, but we're seeing a big increase in crashes out here. First, a plug on your driving. You drive great. You're driving really slow. It appears that you're driving trying to drive safely under the speed limit. I appreciate that. I just want to talk to you about your following distance, especially around commercial vehicles. Um, came up behind a a red and blue tanker truck. A little bit too close behind him before he made that lane change to go around him. I know he was sitting over there. I was waiting for you to trying to give you room to get over there.

[0:52]Yeah, absolutely. I and you got you got to navigate that, but a little too close to him before he went around him, okay? As you pass those semi trucks and you came back down and made that lane change in front of that semi truck, too close. You're less than a second in front of him and you enter that lane. You were only one second in front of him when you fully occupied that lane. If something were to happen to you, man, that semi truck would plow right through you. So, we're seeing a bunch of crashes out here just trying to educate people. You got your driver's license with you? Awesome. Hey, I appreciate that. Do you have a registration card with you? Okay. I do have my rental. If you don't mind, it's gonna be here. Okay. Yeah, that's fine. Any weapons in the vehicle? Oh, perfect. Yeah, you grab the rental car, that'd be great. Uh, do me a favor, man. What I'm going to have you do. I'm going to have you come out of the car and talk to me while I go over this. Gotta make sure everything's valid. As long as everything's valid, my intention is to get you on down the road. It is a little chilly out here. I don't know if you want to throw your jacket on or anything like that. You sure? It's cold, man. I know it's cold in Texas right now. Come on out. No weapons on your right? No weapons. All right, perfect. That's fine, man. You can leave it on, you can turn it off. It's up completely up to you. You said your daughter lives up in Portola? No, they both are. Okay. They both up in Portola? Yes. Come on over here, man. You fighter? Fighter? Yeah, you got Tapout shirt on. Well, I've got a lot of training. I'm a retired Marine. Okay. Nice. What'd you do for the Corps? Well, I was a, well, data chief initially, but then I changed MOS to, uh, cyber security chief. Okay. When'd you get out of the Corps? I got out about two years ago. Okay. All right. What are your daughters do, man? My daughters? What do they do? Oh, uh, 15 and 13 years old. So, they're Okay. Yeah, they're young, young, young. Okay. All right. Now, we're moving into Texas, so, yeah, we're, you know, I'm just coming down here and just looking for a place down in Texas, that's where I'm from, so. Do you say again, man? All right, sit right there. Have you been in trouble with law enforcement before? Never. Okay.

There's there's receipts here and it it I would like to, I would like to put, um, the dog on the currency, man. Okay. Like those are all zeroed out and he gives the number on them out.
