Speeding to Jail…

My son-in-law is half way through his Police Academy training and has been keeping us updated through his blog. Videos like this one now hit a little closer to home.

Watching this I have to give the driver the benefit of the doubt. Since he used his blinker I am guessing he thought he put it in “Drive” and was going to speed out. Instead…..

The local newspaper does have a write-up about it.

Henry Raskin, 70, of Niles had been pulled over by a Buffalo Grove officer on the 400 block of Dundee Road around 11:30 a.m. Friday for driving 58 mph in a 35 mph zone, Sgt. Scott Kristiansen said.

The officer wrote the ticket and returned to the car, and Raskin got ready to drive away. Except he went flying backward.

“(He) apparently was going to pull away at a high rate of speed, but the only problem was that he was in reverse,” Kristiansen said.
