First encounter with CHL

I was involved in a strange accident yesterday. Short version is a truck was hit which put him into a slide striking me in a parking lot at a store waiting to enter the road. Two Troopers roll up and takes everyone's ID & insurance. Takes both TDL, CHL and never said a thing. It was as if I hadn't even handed it to him at all. When he handed it back to me it was under my TDL as so no one in the circle of people would see it.( I'm guessing this is why ) A good encounter I suspect although nothing happened.

Hope it didn't cause too much damage to your car!
I am sure your demeanor, as well as that of the others kept any question about your carrying a non-issue.

You found a pic of our first car!. My truck was totalled but at least it was a company vehicle but that just meant I had to follow SOP and the UA & breath test, a total waste of my day.

Did you ever get the cigarette lighter to work?
It's 106 miles to Chicago, we have a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark, and we're wearing sunglasses. Hit it!
Ha! One of my all-time favorite movies!

Your very, very luck. Apparently he did not hear the radio call that "the use of excessive force has been authorized".

Glad to hear that you weren't hurt AND you had a good CHL experience with LEO.

The Lord had his hands around me protecting me from harm. By looking at the vehicle one would think someone would have been seriously injured.
