I personally know of one fire truck driver who was ticketed for passing a stopped school bus, and another who was followed to the emergency scene and warned that he could be ticketed. Both in North Carolina, different counties, the second was a municipal fire truck driver and policeman.

I work in an industry which requires pre employment and random testing, although the requirements were not in place when I was hired 33 years ago. When the random testing program was started about 25 years ago, I was tested in the first week. At one point a coworker and I were tested in...

The aft stick in a 1973 7ECA was held in its socket by a 1/4" bolt. The stick boot could be pressed down to expose the bolt, and removal only required a couple of 7/16" wrenches.
