The bruises were awesome looking. A straight line across my lap was completely black with blue edges the next day. A nice green and purple stripe diagonally from the shoulder belt. Also a beauty of a black and blue on the inside of my left bicep. Considering I walked away from this, I'm now a confirmed believer in seat belts. I've always used them, but now I know why! I would have a hard time contesting the citation. The fence I landed on was 25 feet off the side of the road. That's definately outside my lane......... It was from the same DPS officer who responded. I guess they have to show something for the call out.

Recently managed to roll my minivan on my way home from the boat. I came out ok (a few spectacular bruises) thanks to the seat belt! However the van was totalled. Local Sheriff Dept was first on scene and I handed over DL and CHL without even thinking about it. He never even asked if I was wearing. After a while, DPS showed up and took over the scene. He asked if I was carrying, I said yes. Then he asked if the weapon stayed in the holster during the wreck. I said yes it did. He asked what I used and when I said Serpa he just grinned and said "Gotta love 'em". That was the last I heard about it. The only thing that annoys me, he told me at the scene that there was no citation but a week later I get one in the mail for Failure to maintain single lane....... I can't really complain though....when your vehicle is parked on top of someones chain link fence, you've definately failed to stay in your lane.....
