I hadn't ever really considered the fact that the police would actually order me to evacuate. All this volunteering these years in EM, and knowing my limits, I figured I'd either be left alone voluntarily to get other people, or I'd be more than willing to leave.
The other thing I hadn't really considered having to prepare for was trying to convince a cop that I have enough experience and education to know my limits, I'm fine, save other people that don't have a clue, and yes, I do understand where you're coming from, and yes, I do understand the big picture.
Guess I'll have to make a much more portable vehicle kit!
Some places they actually do consider that, we got caught in a snowstorm around the PA/MD line a few years ago, steep grade on the highways there and a state police roadlock was setup and they would ask if you had 4x4 and/or chains and/or a shovel, etc before they would let you pass. We had all and my cousin's VFD tags on their vehilce made the inspection go quickly.
