I had to call 911 on a drunk driver

Oy Vey. blue jeep liberty--lic plate dsh9866
I was driving home from our friends house and I almost got smashed by a drunk driver. At first I gave them the benefit of the doubt but after swerving in and out of lanes on the Sagtikos and slamming on brakes and almost hitting I needed to call.
I placed the call to 911 and they transfered me to state police because I was on the Sag going onto Northern State East. I usually get off Northern state west but I wanted to make sure I gave the cops all the right info. So I follow the car onto Northern State east and it merges onto 454. So now state police has to transfer me to Suffolk. I'm now by the Dennison building talking to SCPD and they tell me there will be a car coming. So I kept my distance (got stopped at lights etc) and I followed this car TO SMITHAVEN MALL....still wtih no cop car in sight. Didn't pass one!!!! So I told myself that if the car kept going past the mall I'm turning around. Well near Moriches road I was going to turn around but the car I was following was there at the red light (plus there was a no u-turn sign) so I kept going to the next light. Well in the mean time as I kept driving to the next light, the jeep decides to make a left u turn on red.

Well because i had to wait at the light to turn around, I lost the car. However on my way home the entire time, I didn't see ONE cop car. So it makes me wonder if the police ever sent a car out in the first place.

I hope that guy didn't hit anyone.

I guess driving like a mad drunk lunatic swerving in and out of lanes and constantly slamming on your brakes doesn't constitute a cop to pull you over. But don't worry, I'll get pulled over because my windows are too dark.

You did a good thing .... and you did everything you could to try to get this jerk off the road. to you!

I know exactly where you are talking about too, my Aunt & Uncle live in Port Jeff.

It stinks that the cops are around for stupid stuff, but when there is real danger, sometimes they are no where to be found!

wow, what a story!
You're awesome for following him all that way!

Hope the cops ended up pulling him over and hope he didn't hurt anyone.

I hear you and agree. There are people speeding way over the limit, running red lights and driving impaired around me so what do i get pulled over for . Too much dangling from my rear view mirror. This happened in Eisenhower Park way back in the day. I also got a warning for my windows too. I asked the cop who pulled me over 'Don't you have anything better to go after'. He knew I was ticked. Mind you too it was the end of the month i guess he had a quota to meet.

So i can see where your coming from. You did a good thing and unfortunately it sounded like it wasn't too big of a deal for them to check out. I hope no one was hurt by his recklessness.

Wow thank you for trying so hard to get this jerk off the road. There's a blue jeep liberty that parks next to me i'm going to check his plate ##!!! I wouldve been so mad that no cops came!

FYI I read somewhere (possibly AAA magazine) that nassau county was reducing its highway patrolmen by a certain percent because of budget cuts. Isn't that just grand?

I called the cops on a drunk once in PA...just outside of Philly...the chick crashed into the side of the bridge as i was on the phone with them...we stayed behind her with our hazzards til the cops came & went to the station to make a statement...it had looked like she changed with the driver when they crashed...but the cops said 'highly unlikely...since the passenger was DEAD....'...now this was a minor crash.....turned out this chick's boyfriend overdosed & she was driving around drunk with him dead in the back seat! We saw it on the news the next day!

You did a good thing...even if the cops didn't get them...

You did a good thing, even if you did not see any results.
Hopefully he did get stopped somewhere down the road before he did some damage.

u did a good thing... if the guy killed anybody it's really a shame because the cops didn't get there. Stories like this make my stomach turn...i can't STAND people who drive drunk...it flips me out.
