I am now sans drivers mirror and non-sans scrape on my right rear wheel arch thanks to a cop in a truck. he hit my car outside my house and didn't even stop! he came back about 15 mins later after the paper boys told me where he lived.

That's just wrong. Was he drunk?

Too true! Most of the P.O.s took up the job as a last resort, after they realized they had no other way to earn a decent income. I think most mail carriers could out drive them. BE WARNED: evading a police officer is a felony offense (but it's quite a thrill on park or mountain roads, assuming you are successful)
