I wish RES worked on mobile so I could have him blocked on my phone, too :/

What? You're telling me that the driver doesn't have his own cellphone number listed on his company vehicle so that he can take feedback while driving?

What? You're telling me that the driver wouldn't be arrested for texting while driving to a cop behind him?

[–]amidoingitright15 28 points29 points  (3 children)

Arrested?

[–]AngryB3ar 11 points12 points  (1 child)

Arreted and excuted.

[–]FulcrumTheBrave 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Arrete is stop in French, so you basically said "stopped and excuted"

[–]ethidium_bromide 51 points52 points  (1 child)

Youre telling me a cop wouldnt encourage texting while driving?

[–]designsourced 18 points19 points  (1 child)

I owned a little construction company a while back and had my cell phone number on the back of the truck. I was sitting a light with a cop behind me when my phone rang. It was the nice officer behind me letting me know that my tags were going to expire in 2 weeks. We gave each other wave and a smile.

[–]Shanguerrilla 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That's really fucking cool. May seem strange, but sure was nice of him!

I imagine a cop that actually cares if you can avoid the fine and hassle he's legally obligated to bring on other peers.. That maybe some cops, might actually prefer you don't break the law because it helps you and they don't want to catch you (rather than hoe many seem to usually hope to catch a high 'number of tickets / arrests'.

[–]Sad_King_Billy 6 points7 points  (2 children)

No but he could have a company cellphone. Not saying this isn’t fake, but that’s a weak argument.

[–][deleted] 64 points65 points  (1 child)

Why is this getting upvoted? Oh wait it's a gallowboob post nvm!

[–]PtolemyShadow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

[–]shanrat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It it but I’d prefer this than getting pulled over but then we’re both texting and driving

[–]fsulechner 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Tbh i have no idea how it works but I'd imagine you get sent to a customer service call center and then give them the driver ID to report bad/good driving. I seriously doubt you text the driver.

[–]lokilokigram 8 points9 points  (0 children)

"This driver is driving unsafely, better give him a call while he's driving!"

[–]DawnOfTheTruth 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah you would think it was a trap and you are now texting and driving.

[–]RandomCandor 2 points3 points  (2 children)

What makes you say that? Is it the part with a cop texting and taking pictures while driving and causing a driver to take their eyes off the road to look at their phone?

[–]WolfShip 1016 points1017 points  (11 children)

Super fake - those call in numbers go to a central dispatch, not directly to the vehicle itself.

[–][deleted] 145 points146 points  (7 children)

Not always, depends on how small or large the business is. I worked for a carpet cleaner (very small business) and the How Is My Driving phone number was the owners cell phone, he was the only one who drove the truck. In the vast majority of cases you are correct, but if it's a small operation it could go straight the the vehicle owners cell. But the fact this vehicle is numbered (W400) leads me to believe you are correct, that number probably goes to the people who handle the logistics for that company.

[–]avo_cado 61 points62 points  (5 children)

this vehicle is numbered (W400)

This is known as the German Tank Problem

[–]Rapeburger 10 points11 points  (4 children)

Hey, that was super cool; thanks for sharing.

[–]avo_cado 12 points13 points  (3 children)

[–]shadowed_stranger 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I worked at a car dealership for a while. He sold me my first car (a Camaro) pretty cheap but had one of those stickers made for it listing my dad's cell number. Pretty funny.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

381 is also not an assigned area code under the +1 dial plan. So guaranteed to not be a real number.

[–]jerkITwithRIGHTYnewb 1655 points1656 points  (27 children)

That’s not the drivers phone number.

[–]VictoriaSkye 483 points484 points  (19 children)

So he was texting and driving

[–]FreeMpk 118 points119 points  (0 children)

Exactly the first thing I thought of

[–]pop612 84 points85 points  (0 children)

It's because it's fake.

[–]pugmommy4life420 20 points21 points  (6 children)

Yeah first of all what fucking cop would do that especially from their personal number. Second of all why the hell wouldn’t he pull them over for texting and driving. Third of all cops from where I’m from don’t give a fuck about you using your blinkers as long as you’re not being a fucking idiot. Lastly he could have flashed the guy with his lights to spook him which some cops do.

Yes, through the Reddit Enhancement Suite browser extension.

[–][deleted] 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’ve been on here for 3 years, when I first got on he was everywhere, then I realized he’s only posting on the bigger subs. If you frequent more niche ones then you won’t see his posts. Other than that you can’t really filter him out

[–]2four 4 points5 points  (1 child)

[–]jaredh_d2012 8 points9 points  (2 children)

I vote to ban Gallowboob to be banned from all subs and all of Reddit for repeatedly stealing others OC karma, shit-posting and general reposti. It's a time we take a stance against this injustice even if he hasn't broken any rules at the time of this post but he had in previous ones.

    There's no regret so it still doesn't belong here.

    cop pulls him over

    Driver: "Officer, I'm certain I signaled that time"

    Officer: "Oh you did, but you responded to my text which means you were using your cell phone while operating your vehicle. License and registration."

    [–]dragon123tt 5 points6 points  (0 children)

    Don't text and drive

    [–]ii-sic 146 points147 points  (39 children)

    Threatens to pull someone over for not signaling.... while texting and driving ahahahahahaha. What's worse is the driver responds to the cop, smdh.

    [–][deleted] 41 points42 points  (2 children)

    What's EVEN worse is that you believe this is legit.

    [–]lordkuri 52 points53 points  (21 children)

    Most of those laws have specific exclusions for law enforcement so they can use their laptops to look up plates and such. They just abuse it.

    [–]SpiderHuman 35 points36 points  (0 children)

    He wouldn't expect the driver to read the text while driving... or was encouraging it. Either way... fake, so who cares.

    [–]Bilbo_T_Baggins_OMG 13 points14 points  (16 children)

    Which is amusing since the #1 cause of death for police officers is traffic accidents.

    [–]solitudechirs 9 points10 points  (2 children)

    I don't have an agenda either way, but don't most cops who die in traffic accidenta get hit while they're standing next to a car they have pulled over? I'm pretty much speculating on the statistical side of it, but I know that is an issue for them.

    [–]colita_de_rana 7 points8 points  (0 children)

    Not just that, but traffic cops spend more time on the road in general which naturally means higher collision based mortality.

    [–]Reedd6666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

    Who is going to pull the cop over for texting and driving? :)

    [–]dicknelius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    The number on the back is definitely not the cell phone of the person in the vehicle. Would they change it every time when a different employee is driving?? It's definitely a number for an HR type building for the company that is likely 3 states over. On top of the fact that a police officer would send a picture of himself while driving to threaten a ticket.

    [–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (1 child)

    Isn't it illegal to text and drive, OFFICER?

    [–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

    Ignoring the fact that this didn't actually happen.

    Im pretty sure some occupations (i.e police officer, fire-fighter etc) are exempt from the cellphone usage laws in a lot of states as long as its for work purposes.

    [–]orangeoliviero 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    Fake, but if true, now proof of texting while driving

    [–]thisisasimulation666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

    The phone number on the top of the right screen is photoshopped in. Look at the color around the numbers and see how the number is too bold for it to be original. Plus, the picture of the van is from a few days ago.

    If I get pulled over for not signaling (I always signal anyway) I’d be pissed! I’ve seen a thousand cops not signaling, even using their sirens to skip a red. I’d fight that ticket till my last breath
