He'll Never Live This One Down

Talk about ironic. The Idaho Statesman says a 22-year-old eastern Idaho driver was looking at a text message on his phone when he hit a sheriff deputy's parked patrol car. Police say the man was looking at a text message on his phone when he drove into the back of a patrol car parked on the side of the road.The sheriff's deputy was not in the patrol car at the time. The vehicle's lights were flashing to alert drivers to a fire in the median of the road. The driver was cited for inattentive driving. And will have to live with the harassing his buddies will give him for a very long time. Which is worse than the ticket.
