Fw: [Shotimes] Sorta OT: yay good brakes and tires

[ianf@eden.rutgers.edu]

In NJ (and I suspect most other states), all emergency vehicles must 
stop for red lights, check to make sure that the intersection is clear 
and then proceed with caution. It is illegal for them to proceed 
through the intersection without stopping regardless if their siren and 
lights are on.
