The official replay of the weekly KBear 101 live call-in show featuring Viktor Wilt and Lieutenant Marvin Crain of the Idaho State Police. Join the show with your questions live every Friday morning at 8:45AM at RiverbendMediaGroup.com!
I think this is the most people we've had in the studio since the last time we had a band in here, but always excited to see my homies from the Advocates Injury Attorneys. Oh, look at that, Ben. What do you got here for the K Bear Army? 250 Visa gift card. $250?
I was hate before Christmas. I know. I thought it was for me. I was like, oh, Merry Christmas. Thanks.
But oh, yeah. No. No. It's for the listeners. Okay.
Well, that's fine. We would definitely like to make somebody's day as we roll into the weekend, the holiday weekend, give you $250 an extra dough to spend, but you're gonna have to hang out for a bit if you wanna get the opportunity to win that. Gonna have to wait till, I'd say, at the end of traffic school. Yeah. We're gonna figure out how to give that away today.
Yeah. We still don't have a caller ID, so, you know, I can't It's always something. Yeah. It's always something around here, so I can't just pick a participant. So, you know, we might do a random caller number or we could do I don't know.
Trivia I I don't know. We we we got a lot of huge number like we did that one time. You don't you don't wanna sit there and listen to me answer a 101 calls. Oh, that was funny. Live on air, slowly take a 101 calls.
So you've got some new people with you here today, Ben and, I figured we got to get to know everybody in the room, so once y'all go around and introduce yourselves. I'm Mason. I've been on the air with you once. One time? One time.
One time. So are you you're less scared this time, Mason? Yeah. A little less. Alright.
Racking this time. Alright. Good. Good. I and I'm Avril.
I've been with the advocates for years, but first time on the air. Alright. Well, very nice to meet you. And are you from, East Idaho or are you out of the Boise office already? I'm in the Twin Falls office.
Twin Falls office. Alright. Alright. So she's our Spanish, kind of liaison. She helps our Spanish clients.
Oh, excellent. Many of us don't speak Spanish and we want to be able to help them folks out. You know, that's something great to know, which I haven't thrown into, you know, any of our commercials we do together, for the advocates that yeah, even if you don't speak English call 247, 365 days here. They got you helped out. Yeah.
You'll likely get a bruil. She's awesome. She seems very friendly for sure, but everyone at the advocates I've met has been pretty friend. You know, maybe Mason in the mosh pit, you know? Yeah.
I was about to say I don't know. I'd I'd sometimes I think I might be a little bit You're pretty friendly, but, you know, in in the pit you you gotta hold your own. You gotta do what you gotta do. It's a little crazy. That was a nice pit we kicked off at, the Bad Omen Show.
Yeah. I think there's a YouTube video that's floating around somewhere that's doing that. Nice. I'll have to dig that up and, I was feeling unwell at that show, so hopefully, I wasn't too much of an embarrassment in the pit. No.
You did great. And another new person to the show. Yeah. Hi. My name is Oh, what's going on?
Something ain't working. There we go. Hello. My name is Laura. I'm working out of the Meridian office.
I am our new imaging coordinator, so I'm handling the brand image and social media. And I've been with the company for about two and a half weeks. Oh, awesome. Yeah. Super new.
Welcome. Everyone, again, that I've had the opportunity to hang out with with the advocates has just been great. I went with Ben to Boise. Was it back, like, February? Something like that?
About a year ago. Oh, yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Well, we've done a few adventures together so far, and it's never been a dull moment.
Yeah. That's for sure. You know, making people mad in the crowd at sleep token. That was me. Now, obviously, Ben's well behaved, but, yeah, they they don't really like That wasn't all you, though.
There were some tricksters in that crowd if I remember right. That one guy shoved me into a bunch of people, and then I got yelled at for it. It was a bunch of garbage. So, yeah, everyone I've met at the Boise office was great. You know, everyone I've met from Salt Lake's great.
And, you know, we're entering that time of year, Ben, where things start to get a little bit iffy out there. Got some of them, bad weather conditions, so I would imagine probably a good time to have that number saved in your phone. 208-471-4444 because I've I've spotted a few idiots on the road. Absolutely. And, you know, we get the victims of those idiots giving us a call, and it seems more frequently this time of year.
So Well, what's great is that, you know, calling you guys and talking to you, it's never been what I envisioned of calling an attorney to chat about anything. You know? When when you rolled in here during the summertime and he got, you know, Iron Maiden tattoos, I'm like, oh, wait wait a minute. This guy, I might be able to get along with this guy. And, you know, Damien's awesome as well.
Everybody's always been very easy to talk to and, you know, you you can really tell that all you guys work together kinda like a family. You know? The the vibes around the advocates offices I mean, it's just made it without question if I need an attorney. You know? I even when I was, getting divorced, I'm like, hey.
I know you don't do this, but, hey. You're you're you're my guys. You You know? Who who do who I need to talk to if I need one? We're all passionate about what we do, and we really are family here, and we treat our clients the same.
So give us a call before anybody else. We'll we'll take care of you. Yeah. 208-471-4444. You can come in, Crane.
Join the we got a party today. There he is. I get in here. Alright. I better crank on the AC with this much hot air rolling in.
I don't know about hot, but hot air rolling in the room. Yeah. Alright. Good to see you. Good to see you.
So we've got a big celebration going on. We've got $250 from the advocates we're gonna give away at some point as a Merry Christmas from the advocates injury attorneys. What's that? Year? Well, apparently, I, you know, I'm trying to brainstorm a plan for how I can slip it in my pocket and have nobody noticed, but, I don't know.
There's a lot of people in the room. So, we're gonna get traffic school going here in just a few, which is as always powered by the advocates injury attorneys. We could even just, you know, like, if somebody asked a fantastic question that's so good, maybe we give them the $250 gift card. Yeah. We'll we'll just this might just be a spontaneous thing sometime during the show.
Maybe I'll let because all the callers know or at least many of them know that I know who they are and it might not be fair. Maybe we let somebody who's never talked to any of our callers go, hey. I I like this one. Give them the $250. Yeah.
Yeah. Alright. And we'll figure out how we're gonna work this mic deal here in a second because we've got, 4 mics and 6 people. But we do have enough spots for headphones. So get ready.
We'll kick off traffic school powered by the advocates here in a couple minutes. 208-535-1015, the number to call, and let's have some fun. You know? We're heading into a holiday weekend. Let's get some questions out there to help, people make good decisions as we roll into a time with lots of folks traveling.
The party has started. Partying with the cops. Lieutenant Crane in the house. Okay. What you'll have to do is take off your little adapter and stick it in the other hole.
Alright? Sorry. We've got, we got too much going on there. Alright. Those are not in use.
Alright. We're good. We got 6 people in the studio, everybody. Traffic school powered by the advocates injury attorneys. I should have probably, like, cleaned up in here a little bit.
They're taking photos for, you know, the advocates socials. The place is a dump right now. There's just stuff all over the place. Anyhow, everybody, if you have a question for lieutenant Marvin Crane about the law or something that, you know, Ben or the advocates might be able to answer for you, 208-535 1015, the number to call. By the way, at some point during the show, we're gonna give away a $250 Visa gift card.
So we don't know how we're gonna do it yet. We haven't figured it out. It could be a random person gets picked by somebody new to the room because they really enjoyed the question, or maybe we'll do a random caller. You know, Ben said he didn't want me to do a 101 calls live on air in a row again. You screwed up the county last time.
I can you try to say I can't count to a 100? I'm not saying I'm I'm making a point. Alright. It's a fact. Yeah.
It's true. It's true. Alright. Well, let's go to the phones here and see what we got. Get to 9 and have to start over.
Yep. Hey. Making it to 9 is not bad. Come on. Come on.
Alright. K Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the Advocates Injury Attorneys. Who's this? Hey, Victor Crane and Ben and crew. It's crazy Carl.
How you guys doing, man? Oh, Carl. There he is. Hey, Bo. We got we got one last week yet before it snows, man.
We can still still make that car show happen. Hey. So, the freeway interchange, I was driving through there a couple weeks ago, and, big huge concrete blanket blown across the freeway. That's a safety issue, so I dialed star ISP, which you do do anything yourself. Yeah.
I can see this could be dangerous. Right. I like Carl's mentality. That's how I'm gonna roll. That might be work.
Call Marvin. So, my question is, what is the fine for an uncovered load? I know here at the city dump, they give you a $10 fine, but I've seen trucks driving around. It's like, are you moving or going to the dump, man? Looking like Sanford and the sun rolling down the road.
You know? I I can't tell you exactly what the fine is, but there's a definite difference between what you're gonna be fined if you go to your landfill without a secure load or if you're traveling down, highway or public roadway with a unsecured load. 2 different fines. Right. Right.
Yeah. I mean but you have to have a load covered. Yeah. It has to be secured. Yeah.
It has to be secured. Right on. Right on. Alright. Well, man, appreciate you guys.
Hope for a good show today, and, man, sounds crowded over there. Yeah. Those auto body shops and Pocatello are sure glad you didn't move that right away. Oh, no. What are you doing, sir?
Working in 1. Scared. It looked heavy. Those concrete blankets are heavy. Oh, man.
I I've I've seen so many things. I the first time I learned that, I was driving in Vegas, and there's a whole entire fridge in the middle of the freeway. And, so any state you're in, just, you know, dial star ISP, dial star NHP, and, you know, just get that, get that debris off the road. So our second question, do the do the police actually go out and remove the debris, or do you guys have, like, a Yeah. We have lights on our car, and, yeah, we go out there, and we play Frogger, and we move it.
Right. You guys are the ones playing Frogger. Yep. Oh, nice. Well, you guys be safe out there, and, you guys have a great weekend.
Hey. You too, Carl. Appreciate the call. Happy holidays. Happy holidays.
Take your weekend. Sunday. Sunday, Sunday, Sunday. See you, man. We'll see you, man.
K, bear. You live on traffic school powered by the advocates injury attorneys. Who's this? This is Spencer. Spencer, what's up?
So a while back on the show, I was listening, and, He finally turned back in and given it another shot. Just want you to know you're not out on a good start. I took a 6 month break, but go ahead, Smith. Anyway, yeah. It got brought up that, you can, speed up to up to 15 miles an hour over the speed limit to to pass someone who's going under the speed limit.
Does that still apply? Yeah. In certain sit situations. Right? Now if you're on a 2 way, 2 lane road, one lane going each direction, it is a passing zone, and the car in front of you is going under the speed limit, only has to be 1 mile an hour.
You are allowed to go out past that vehicle legally, exceed up to 50 miles an hour over the speed limit until you complete the pass, and you gotta get back in your lane. Almost sounded like you said 50. That's 15.15 miles an hour. Yeah. A 150.
Depends on if you drive a Raptor. Yeah. I was gonna say, if you've seen the kind of things that Ben drives, that's parked in my slot. Oh. That was Mason.
That was Mason. Now I've driven with Ben on the freeway, and I can guarantee you he's never went above the speed limit in one of those vehicles. He's a law provider. Yeah. Yeah.
He he out there representing properly. Thanks. Thanks, Victor. So yeah. But that is true and correct.
You can go up to 15 miles an hour over the speed limit, make the pass, get back in the, travel lane, and then slow back down to the speed limit. But two lane roads only, not on I 15. Yeah. That's called 4. Yeah.
Yes. That was Those that can't count. That that was, that was my other question if if you hadn't answered it. And it's unfortunate when you enter into areas like, you know, the Rexburg area where apparently they're just a little more afraid and you can't can't do 80. Yeah.
And, and that's not in a school zone. Well, but officer we're doing 19. We'll try to use that excuse next time. So I went to 35. Well, appreciate it, Spencer.
Hope you have a great holiday. Yeah. You too. Thanks. Right on.
Peace. 208-535-1015. The number to call for traffic school powered by the advocates. Everybody who was just calling, come out, call us back. I was gonna ask you, lieutenant Crane.
I talked about this earlier on the show. Did you see the video yesterday of when they unloaded that, shooter guy from the airplane, the guy in New York who, shot the CEO? I know who you're talking about. Did you see when they were escorting him, like, to jail or something? That's where they go.
Yes. Yeah. I'm just wondering. Going to Buffalo Wild Wings. I'll tell you that.
We've got a bunch of callers calling, but I gotta show you the video that wanna go to Chuckarada. You never know. You never know. You guys might be handing out donuts for Christmas. I don't know.
By the way, cookies in the break room. Anybody wants some coffee and a donut before we go. Care. You're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates. Who's this?
Hi. This is Mark. Mark, what's up? How's it going? Hey.
I don't know if this would be a question for, lieutenant Crane or a city of Idaho Falls police officer. I'm probably not qualified. Well, there there's a certain intersection off of Holmes, a one way street coming, East, ninth Street, and there's a turn turn lane to turn left. There's also an oncoming lane that has a right hand turn, but you have to stop on the red light. Can we get a scan diagram of that?
It's okay now. I'm like tryna picture this. I'm pulling it up on the has the right away when the light turns green. Anytime you're making a left hand turn, more than likely, you need to yield to traffic. Okay.
Alright. Yeah. It's, you know, Holmes. Now which direction did you say you were going? East.
9th Street is coming in east. The light. Okay. When you're turning, left on the Holmes going north, so it'll be going east. Yeah.
I see it. You know? It's kinda it's kinda cattywampus. So Yeah. Like But anytime you make it out over Yeah.
Same not Plum Square. I mean, at least at least on the Google Street View, there's a sign that says, you know, you gotta yield on marine. Right. When you're going west, you have to yield to the people coming off of ninth Street, but it doesn't say anything about that when somebody's turning left. Anytime you're making a left hand turn, best practice is yield.
You're you're putting 90% kill side on your on your driver's door at that point. Yeah. And I can't it doesn't look like that would have a green arrow, so I would assume it's always kinda Well, yeah. I mean, if you're turning left and he's turning right, you guys are gonna meet, side by side. Yeah.
So there you go, Mark. Follow the best practices as directed. But if you're talking about your crossroad traffic, it's whoever got to the intersection first, goes first. Right. Right.
Well, it has to have a green light there. So Right. Okay. Okay. Well, thank you, and have a merry Christmas.
Thank you. You too, Mark. See you. K Bear, you're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates injury attorneys. Who's this?
This is Colin. I've got a question for the advocates and one for lieutenant Crane. Alright. I I like that. Look.
He's prepared. Do you want us to shake the dice? There's 6 advocates in here. We'll just roll the dice. Whatever number you get, we'll let them answer.
Alright. So for the advocates, I spend a lot of time working in Wyoming, and I was wondering if something were to happen across the border, can they still help or are they Idaho only? They're only they're not licensed in Mexico. We we have advocates everywhere. There's a call.
Give us a call. We got offices in Wyoming. Awesome. Good to know. And then for lieutenant Crane Would you like to say something, Victor?
I I was just gonna say no matter where you're listening, you might as well try to call the advocates. You know, you could be listening. We have people listening all around the country. Just call them and see. You know?
Might as well give it a go. But I don't know about those Wyoming advocates. You give the Idaho advocates a call. Let us try to help you first. Yeah.
I'm not gonna give out the Wyoming one. Yep. 208-471-4440. No. But if you're out of state, give us a call.
I'm sure we can figure something out for you. Awesome. Alright. The other one, I was wondering if we could talk about how to properly use on and off ramps on freeways and interstages. It's been asked before.
We can talk about all you want. Alright. Lieutenant Crane, break it down because it's very simple. Yeah. It's very simple.
This is if you're entering the highway or the interstate from an on ramp, it is your responsibility to get up to speed with commute traffic and enter without causing a delay or stop at the top of the on ramps because I'm looking back, making sure it's clear. I look up, and I'm like, oh, they stopped. Great. Yeah. Yeah.
And I would say this. This is the one I love the most when I'm in my personal vehicle. The person entering the roadway doesn't even look over their left shoulder, their left mirror. They just come on in it. And I think that's probably what you're talking about.
Is that one of those situations you can go 50 miles an hour over the speed limit of? One of the messages with me is when they enter at, like, 55 miles an hour and then romp on the throttle and try to catch up. And that's Or slam on their brakes and exit, like, so they slow down to 45 before exiting the highway is the one that really riles me up. And you've got some great points, and I'll tell you this. The Idaho Transportation Department has all these studies when they build these on and off ramps about how long do they have to be to get up to speed, how long do they need to be to shut down from 80 miles an hour to a dead stop at the top.
So they're giving you plenty of room. Use it. Yeah. I mean, I've had vehicles that do struggle getting up to speed even without run off, so I understand that there are exceptions. But when it's obviously a car that can, it irks me a little.
Well, I wasn't paying attention to the car. Like, I was trying to remember if he was on, you know, he was the guy who's on the freeway getting mad at the people coming in off the offer on on ramp or if he's the guy getting mad that nobody's making room for him. You're like that 3rd caller go, well, I listened 6 months ago. Yeah. Exactly.
There's so many people in here. It's like, hey, you guys just run the show. I don't need to do anything. That's awesome. Your call means a lot to me, caller.
Thank you. It does to me as well. You know, I'm multitasking. Yeah. Very important thing.
You are like a deer in the headlights. So she's like, woah. Woah. Like, everybody stops talking. What are you guys doing?
Come on. We're just all looking at you. Can you guys do the radio show or what? What's happening here? Well, good questions, on ramp?
And here's how it is. If, if you're on the on ramp, it's up to you to deal with it. So do it right. Sorry. I kinda check out mentally with these questions that have been asked a 1000000 times.
But please keep calm, sir. Thank you, guys. Have a good one. Hey. Thanks, man.
Peace. Kay bear. You're live on traffic school powered by the advocates. Who's this? Listen close, mick.
Clinton. Clinton. Quentin. Quentin Tarantino. Yeah.
Oh, Hey. Like your movies, man. Yeah. They're great. They're great.
So what's up? I just wanted to I just wanted to ask, Virginia Crane, how fast did he throw his son under the bus, and did he ever take the train horn off his truck? Oh, yeah. Pretty darn fast I did. Somebody's telling on me here.
As we all know, train horns are may not be legal. And, but my son bought me a train horn and put in my truck for Father's Day. And I may have been at a business where you pull in and they do maintenance like an oil change, Pro Lube and Rigby. And, free plugs. What are you doing?
And boy, did I get their attention with a closed door? Oh, jeez. Did you take it out? No. No.
Alright. It's only illegal if you use it. Yeah. Yeah. If you just have it, it's fine.
Yeah. You're just cruising around on your little dirt track out back of your house. Now, kids, let me make something clear. That's on train horns. Now drugs, they're illegal all the time.
Yes. You can't even have them. Only if you use them. The law is weird in ways. Okay.
That's all I wanted. Well, appreciate that, man. Appreciate that. Detail. Yep.
Lucky to troublemaker. Troublemaker. Stitches get stitches, baby. I am doing 75 and a 65 right now. Look at this guy.
Look at this guy. He knows you're busy, though. You're stuck in here. Probably not even hands free, are you? Yes.
I am. Okay. Alright. Well, that's good. Alright.
Alright. Have a good one, man. Good luck. K Bear, you're live on traffic school powered by the advocates injury attorneys. Who's this?
Jason. Jason, what's up? Very quiet. Let's get serious here. Simmer this down.
Let's boil this down to the I've got a I've got a road construction question But, Oh, good. How are you? I couldn't work. Why are you fooling me? The the asphalt that was done on I 15 from Blackfoot to Idaho Falls never got the rumble strips put in.
This just a, you know, an FYI? Yeah. Basically. Alright. What's the problem with IPD?
Maybe. So don't doze off. Maybe that's Hey. I got an idea. Stay off your phone, people.
Right? Maybe the yeah. For sure. You know, there are certain rumble strips I've seen online where, you know, if you're going the right speed, they'll make your vehicle play a song. Have you seen that, lieutenant crowd?
Yeah. They do. I think it should smack you on. I mean, it does encourage everybody to drive on the rumble strip, but I think we could get, you know, have a little bit more fun with them here in Idaho. You know?
What song would they play? It's gotta be like slayer raining blood or something. Breaking the law. Oh, yeah. Duh.
Duh. Breaking the law. Yeah. So, alright. Well, ITD, apparently, people are getting very tired between Blackfoot and Idaho Falls.
It is kinda boring out that way. Will say this. We do have our share of crashes out there. So when you're traveling that section, please put your phone down. Pay attention.
The amount of traffic we're seeing there has doubled over the last few years. Heavy traffic. Watch what you're doing, pay attention, and let's avoid as many of those crashes as we can. Well, and every time I'm trying to use my phone while driving around Blackfoot, it doesn't work. The signal's garbage.
That's why they're mad. They're not slamming their phones. Exactly. So you might as well not even try. There's a terrible service.
You gotta get T Mobile. Alright. T Mobile. I love how you bring the positive in everything. That's why I'm the best.
Well, I appreciate it, man. Hope you have a great holiday. Yeah. Everybody else that might miss those rumble steps, not being there too. Well, what about when they're covered with snow?
They don't, they don't work at this time of year. Anyway, the whole road is a rumble shop. All right, man. Well, good to hear from you. Yeah.
These guys are just packed with enthusiasm. Love it. Alright, man. Merry Christmas. Right.
You are live on Traffic School powered by the advocates injury attorneys. We got the advocates in studio. Some point, we're gonna give away a $250 Visa gift card, a present from the advocates for the k Bear army. Who's this? This is mister chili dog.
How's it going this morning, gentlemen? Great to hear from you, mister chili dog. One side of the spectrum to the other. He's very excited. Are you wearing your chili dog outfit?
I'm eating one right now, sir. My chili dog outfit is just shorts and no shirt, man. I like the chili to drip on my chest hair. Save that for afternoon snack. Hey.
Just beware. If you ask me questions, you're gonna get answers. I mean, I just there there I speak the truth. So, hey, I got some really good questions because, you know, on social media here in town, there's some great debates on really hot topics. You know who you're arguing with Victor.
But I'm on chili dog's side in general arguments. All you need to do Victor and I are Victor and I are just about the same height. I mean, later on down the road, we had to work out some sort of mud wrestling match between me and Victor. Anyway How about a chili wrestling match? Forget mud.
You know? Come on. Let's wrestle in chili. But let's try to stay on topic here, gentlemen. Okay?
We haven't I don't know if you've done your homework, but most of those kinda matches are between women. Well, why can't us men do it? Well well, we We can't do it too. But anyway, okay. So here, let's talk about this voodoo magic thing.
I am so cool on the size of Victor. Now if you were saying this Oh, sorry. Okay. It's turning up. We'll just let you we'll let you go here, chili dog.
Oh, you're saying let go. Are you hanging up? Calm down, gentlemen. We haven't even started yet. You guys are way too excited.
Alright. So on the on the side note, I don't think it'll sell many tickets, but it'll be some good content. I bet we could fill the mountain America center, but it would have to be it would have to be peaches versus lieutenant Crane in a chili wrestling match. That one that would fill the arena. That'd be so quick.
Woah. I know Peaches would go down. Peaches versus chili dogs sounds way better, bro. Has a way better read to it. That's true.
You could, you know, use AI to make a great flyer for the show. Okay. Anyway, back to traffic. Would you like your time, sir? Because it's about to oh, is my time up already?
I gotta I gotta call back next week. Glad we did the FCC thing before this call. Oh, that's right. Yeah. Yeah.
K. Well, I will keep, I will keep it all g rated here for you gentlemen. Please. I use that term very loosely. We have some ladies in the room.
So social media, anyway, here in town, oh my gosh, is just on fire about this, voodoo turn lane. Some people call it a center turn lane. I think that's a technical term for it. On 17th Street. Oh, and they're on on Lincoln.
You have it right there all going all the way down, you know, when you're pulling out of Maverick. You know, some people call it the suicide lane. But anyway, what I'd like from, lieutenant Crane is not in, like DMV terms or officer terms because I am super dumb. Okay? I cannot be smart and good looking at the same time.
Can you explain to a dumb guy like me, like, what this suicide voodoo lane is for? Well, it's for left hand turns. Everybody needs to hear it. That's it. What's that?
I mean, everybody needs to hear it, but from you, because settle the debate because there is so much argument. Some people say you can pull into it and it's emerging lane. Other people say you can always use it when you're pulling off the off the road into where you're going. Other people are like, no. If you're if if you're if you're trying to make a laugh on a maverick and and and traffic is busy in both directions, you can use to hang out, not drive down.
So, basically, there's so many different opinions. I'd like you to dispel all of them because, like I said, I'm real dumb. Okay. So I'm gonna make it easy for you. Idaho law says that is not a travel lane.
It's not a parking lane. It's a lane to turn left hand. So when you go into it, you signal you make your left hand turn. Now times there's gonna have to be a yield there for a while before you can make your left hand turn, but if you're coming out of a parking lot going left, it's not designed to be a staging area to move into the right hand lanes and go the opposite direction. But there are times, common sense rules, and if you can't get out, you can go there, but doesn't turn into a traveling, so you don't get into it, get up to the speed limit.
Let's say in some of those areas, 35, 40, 45 miles an hour, get up to that speed and just travel alongside of everybody and also go on the opposite direction, trip people that wanna get into that left hand turn lane and use it. So common sense plays a big part of this, and that's where people are lacking at times, I think. So Really? Now the other the other point is is when we're coming to a busy intersection and there's a left hand turn bay designated and there's a left hand turn all the way up to it, it is very dangerous to be the very back car, turn on your left hand turn signal, go out onto the the turn bay, and cruise 3 blocks up the side of everybody to make your left hand turn. So by law is designated just for that.
Left hand turns, by law, you're supposed to so if you went out there and hung out or drove and then moved right and caused collision, it'd be your fault. You would have culpability in that. So for so I'm still confused. I get not being able to drive down that. I think that's just, I'm not allowed to use the r word, so I think that's just not very smart to drive down that center lane.
So theoretically, if I'm let's just use the Maverick, for example, right there on, on Lincoln Road. If I'm wanting to go left westbound down Lincoln Road, right, it's super busy, and I go to make a left, oh, gosh, there there's a lot of westbound traffic. As long as I don't go down that center divide at 35 miles an hour, merge in like it's a traveling lane, I chill there and wait for 2 wait for 2 or 3 cars to go by and merge in. I'm I'm within my legal limits. Nobody's gonna bother you now.
If you cause a crash, it's gonna be your fault. Okay. Well, I will then we'll see a lot better insurance at that point. Yeah. So it's kinda like creeping out into the intersection.
Like, it's you know, technically, you're not supposed to do it, but unless you're being a complete moron and endangering others, you're probably not gonna get pulled over. If you want people, everybody else in the parking lot to be honking their horn and waving one finger at you. Yeah. Because, dude, I mean, I would live at this building if I couldn't pull out into the middle lane on Sunnyside. Well, you'd always make a right hand turn and go down to the next intersection.
Yeah. Then I gotta slowly drive by the pumpkin patch. I don't know. Add 30 seconds to my track. Yes.
Yeah. And then I end up on 17th, which is the worst road in town, you know, in the afternoon. I don't wanna drive down that. Sunnyside's bad enough. So let's just add some common sense.
So are you saying that on a helicopter? Yes. And as rule of thumb, we avoid 17th 25th or hit, whatever you wanna call it, like the bubonic plague unless it's 2 AM in the morning and you're pushing snow. That's the only time that place is is able to be be, handled. So do we have a question?
We're on the, subject of insurance. Can I ask one more question? Sure. You do whatever you want. You're you're on fire.
So you just go ahead and go. I I needed you earlier when I was vacantly just, you know, drifting off into space, not paying attention. Well, I didn't wanna be the first one to call in, like, you know, use all my content right off the jet. I actually I am a bar gonna be the last. Dude, you guys are gonna love this one, and I gotta be really careful how I asked Lieutenant Crane about this.
I don't wanna get him in any trouble. But maybe if the answer is yes, just blink twice. So okay. Let's talk about these, left turn red light runners when you're the 1st guy in line waiting to go straight. You know what I'm talking about.
Right? Sometimes, there'll be 3 of these arrogant you know what. You know, your light turns green, they're waiting to turn left, and all, you know, all of a sudden you got 3 people and you're waiting 10 seconds, you know. So let's just say you're really dumb like me. Right?
And you got a lot of stuff on your mind. You're the first guy in line. Your light turns green, and you just step on the gas and gosh darn it. Boom. You have an accident with one of these fools.
Who's at fault? Okay. Let He blinked twice. Yeah. Let let me ask you a simple question.
Who would you think was at fault? Probably the guy that just mashed it when the light turned green. So, again, we'd have to see who's got better insurance at this point. No. So it is gonna be he said, she said.
Right? But the bottom line, when you get Well, gas cams are gas cams are involved in in this. Okay. So you got it you got it on footage. You got green light, your direction.
Yeah. You got the right way. Yeah. Whoever Whoever's turning Now just because they're they're turning and your light's green doesn't mean, okay. I can just smash into them.
Well, hold on. There's a lot of dash cams out there that'll be pretty obvious what happened. So no. Well, this is not this is not for us to decide. This is for insurance companies.
We're we're way out of our business. He isn't. Ben's the guy who fights with the insurance companies. He knows how it works. So the bottom line is this.
All I know all I know is hold on. Wait. Wait. My turn's still. My truck.
Oh, now listen, Tom. You need. I'm not a truck. Really need. Hold on.
I think this is I am speaking now. I am speaking now. Earlier, this guy said he enjoyed my turn. Enjoyed pushing snow at 2 am. I don't know if he's talking about driving a big truck out there.
No. That's what I'm saying. It needs a new bumper. One of these guys are just get punted right back to where they came from and they're gonna buy me a new bumper blink twice. This guy's exhausting.
Hey. Tell your mom we love her, and we wish her a good merry Christmas. Yeah. Okay. So thank you guys for putting up with my b s.
I've I I'll make you one promise because I called in the show once before, and I made this promise before. The next time I call in, the only promise I can keep is that I'll make you laugh. I don't know about any other stuff, but I'll make you laugh. Well, we appreciate it, chili dog, and Keep keep keep chili dog. That's very rare that I can remember a name, but chili dog, I could remember that.
And I know he's a guy who antagonizes the life in Idaho Falls Facebook group, which I'm a fan of people doing. So Maybe eat them with your shirt a week from now. I try and treat those people with a kid to others, but it's really hard not to offend these folks. So that's why I came up with I love chili dogs because, basically, it is my way of vetting people. If you don't like chili dogs, you're a terrorist.
You need to be on a watch list. Lieutenant Crane, not liking chili dogs a crime? No fly no fly list for lieutenant Crane. Right. How does everybody in the room feel about chili dogs?
I'm down. I'm cool with chili dogs. I love a chili dog. Chili dogs are fine. Can't go wrong with a chili dog.
Oh, we got all 6. 6, that's 12 thumbs up for chili dogs. I love you guys. Okay. Next time we talk, we'll start booking the peaches and chili dog wrestling match.
Alright. I'll I'll hit up, Kelsey at the Mountain America Center. Hey. So I don't know how tough you are, but I just wanna point out one thing. I'm 5 foot nothing.
Peaches is 7 foot. He won't even play me in basketball. I don't think he's gonna wrestle anybody. Feel me on this, Victor. Feel me on this.
You and I are both short guys. 2 midgets make one giant, and we could take them. I've I have I had to dump your statement. It's 2024, sir. I'm I'm I'm running for mayor Hammond, so we'll work on that too.
Alright. Okay. Keep me posted on that because you know how I feel about Idaho politicians. So Oh, I'll do whatever you say. I have a vote for chili dog.
I I would certainly put that sign up in my yard. Chili dog, will you call next Friday? I'm gonna take it off. Absolutely. I'll fill in for you and I'll do it for free.
Alright. Thanks, chili dog. We'll see you then. I do. See if anybody else, you know, remains on the line.
Yeah. Peace. Sorry to steal everybody's thunder. See you guys. Bye.
K, Bear. You're live on Traffic School powered by the advocates injury attorneys. 10 minutes later, who's this? This is Adam. Hey, Adam.
Got a quick question for you. Rate chili dog from 1 to 10. If it has a color, where do you put chili dog? Depends on how much cheese is on it, but I'd give it a good 7 or 8. Oh, okay.
Pretty good. Alright. Alright. Alright. Just checking.
So what's up? That guy just sucked down, like, 15 minutes of everyone's time. That's who I wanted you to rate, not the dog. Yeah. Not the actual jelly dog.
Good call. Alert. What? I don't know that guy. But, anyway, yeah.
I I just had a couple of questions, and this won't take 10 minutes. I promise. Did the did all the advocates in that room, did they roll up this morning? Didn't somebody say they were from Meridian? I I do have one person here from Meridian, one from Twin Falls.
We had an event we were, dealing, doing in, Pocatello yesterday, so I had some stuff down. No. Doing that. We thought we'd come in and talk to Victor and lieutenant. Staple of this group.
Why why didn't we get to come to the party? Pay 8. I bet it was a free meal. It was a party, wasn't it? Maybe.
I've I've been convicted of plenty of parties, but you know what? I've I didn't wanna point it out. Okay. Okay. I mean, who invites the cops to the party?
I I didn't wanna start a, you know, a fight with one question, but okay. Okay. My real question though was, like and I don't know if you can do this because it I don't know if you wanna throw shade, but By the way, you're well on your way to 10 minutes. That is false, sir. Anyway, are there insurance companies that are more difficult to deal with than others that you're extra stingy?
You have to fight harder to get money for. Could you tell me who not to get my insurance? Yeah. You know, it it varies. Some might be bad for a minute and then good the next, and then, you know, got different adjusters.
They're they're people too. So it just depends on the day and the adjuster. Yeah. If you're having problems with insurance companies, call the advocates injury attorneys. There's been other ways that people have done their frustration recently.
I can tell you that, every insurance company, they're, I mean, they're in in it for a profit, so they're gonna pay as low as possible. That's why we, that's why the advocates and other injury law attorneys exist to help. They're like notorious adjusters. Are there like notorious adjusters where you're like, oh, it's that guy. Yeah.
I don't wanna name any names. Thank you, David, though. Thank you. I didn't expect you to. I mean, I know you guys are Well, it's great.
This one again. Not liable in attorneys. What I would like you to do is throw some names out there to see how good your attorneys really are when they fight that battle. You know, in our in our defense though, all the adjusters are like, oh, great. It's the advocates.
Now we gotta pay what's fair. Alright. And That's how it should be. I guess I'm gonna cut it short. So I'm not a hypocrite.
I will talk to you guys later. Is your plunger broken your chair? No. Now we've been throwing a lot of shade at peaches. Peaches messed up my chair.
It's got a foot rest on the bottom, and you see how low it is? I look at the look at the sides of this bar here. You see how many times I've tightened that down and then the giant steps on it and drives it down. So I just gave up on fixing the chair. I'm like, alright.
I'll sit all the way on the ground. It's all the way down, and now I can put my feet on the footrest. I can't even see it. I know. So the top of his head over the table.
On top of his head. This is what I have to put up with because peaches broke my chair. No. The caller hung up. Yeah.
That's one way to get rid of him. Excuse me, Kelly. I forgot what I was doing again. Before we forget, let's give that away. How should we do it?
Oh, yeah. Should we do, like we should give it away? 3rd caller or Okay. How do you wanna do this? Well, let's deal with this caller, and then we'll pick a call number.
This caller a loser first. Yeah. We're gonna say they're gonna have to they're gonna have to call back to win. No way. Yeah.
Who's this? This is Britney. Britney, what's up? Britney on your side. I think you should've had a chance.
Hey. Stop trying to make me talk back here. Trying to make it fair. What the heck, man? I've been listening since I dropped my kid off earlier, and they're like, maybe this call.
And I was like, no way. Like, I'm just like a loser. What? Mhmm. Britney, could you use this money for Christmas?
Let let let's hear what her question is. Yeah. Maybe she, maybe she's got a wonderful question. It's up to the advocates where it goes ultimately. Let's hear the question.
Okay. So I am a mom. But so a while ago, back in 2019, I was actually ran over by a drunk driver. Oh. And I have yet to get any, like, settlement or anything like that from this guy.
But I also don't know if he's, like, still in jail. Are you guys, like, someone I could, like, reach out to? There's a 2 year statute of limitations in Idaho, unfortunately. When did your crash happen? 2019.
It was 2019. Yeah. Mhmm. And I did go through the courts to get all of that. Like like, I know how much he owes me, but I just have never had anything from it.
What I would do is we're happy to give consultations and point you in whatever direction we can if we can help. 208-471-4444. And, talk to one of our staff, and we'll see what there is, if anything.

I know. She's too nice. Too nice, missus Craig. Complain around the house all the time. I don't get asked if I want nice stuff.
Victor says one thing. Oh, do we need to get Victor a new chair? Well, that's because you you like just I'm gonna go drive off, and I'm gonna come back with an a new car and a new truck at the same time. You just don't ask for for permission. You ask for forgiveness.
See, now you're transferring me under the bus. Ah, I see how you are. Are. Alright. Should we just do a random caller?
Or what do you wanna do, Ben? Shoot. Next caller. Next caller. Next caller.
Next caller according to Mason. Okay. Which, and we have no caller ID. Do you want line 1, 2, or 3, Mason? Line 3.
Line 3. Wow. She held up line 32. Okay. You didn't even see it because your son's I know.
I can't I can't see my colors because peaches broke my chair. Kay Bear, you're live on the show. Who's this? Hey. This is Scott.
Scott. Well, we don't wanna hear your question, dude. You don't wanna hear my question? No. I wanna give you $250.
Okay. But you do have to ask the question for us to give you the $250 Visa gift card. Okay. Luciana Crane, we need some more. Can we get some more coverage from the state police here in Rexburg?
They we've got some crazy freaking drivers here in Rexburg. If I can get that $250 from you, that might get us a couple of hours. I think that's the first time we've got a call from somebody going, it's crazy here in Rexburg. Hey. Here by Wednesday or let's see.
By Monday, it'll settle down for about 2 weeks. Right? Alright. Well, Scott, can you hang on the line so I can get your information, get this $250 Visa gift card to you from the advocates? Yep.
K. I'll be right back in a second. Alright. Alright. And I even got away with not hanging up on him.
I pulled it off. Alright. Well, you know, thank you, Ben, Mason, and, I'm terrible with names. Abril. Abril?
Megan? Laura. Laura. You're completely off. Just way off.
Way off. How do I get that? Oh, it's like me calling you Brad, dude. Oh, don't call me Brad. We used to have a guy around here named Brad.
I definitely don't wanna be compared to him. Okay. Well, it was it was very nice to meet everybody, and I I hope you guys had fun hanging out too. Hey. I don't wanna steal any more time, but can I tell a fun story on my wife real quick?
Because we know she's listening right now. She wants to buy you a gift. She doesn't need to buy me a gift. And, hopefully, she's not too mad about me sharing this, but the name Brad just reminded me. We've done business with this guy for years, and, we dealt with him on a regular basis.
And one day we go in there, his name is Brad, and my wife walks in. She's like, so, Steve, what do you think about this proof? And he's talking to her, and she just keeps calling Steve. I'm like, wait a minute. What what are you doing?
She goes, well, this is Steve. I said, no. His or I mean, she was calling him Brad. Excuse me. She's calling him Brad.
I said, no. His name is Steve. And she's like, no. It's not. And I looked at him and said, why is my wife calling you Brad?
He goes, well, the first day we met, she called me Brad. She just called me Brad. Alright. So you're making, I guess. Yeah.
Nice to meet you. Well, if anybody who's a long time listener knows I can't remember anything. So yeah. I don't even remember how to pay attention to the people calling during the show. Well, I hope that all of you in the studio have a, wonderful holiday.

Putting a chair together for you. I don't no chair. Don't bring any how many chairs have you seen in this building over the years, lieutenant Crane? Radio d DJs. It's not just peaches.
I'm just giving him grief, but radio DJs break chairs. We need chairs made out of, like, titanium or something. It's it's the worst investment, a chair for the studio. Nobody should ever spend money on that. Alright.
Nobody should ever spend money on that. Alright. Traffic school powered by the advocates injury attorneys every Friday morning, 8:45. And, Scott, yes, we are still here. I'll pick you up in just a second.
