We drive with our lights on and teeny tiny little flags on our roof, but the honking sounds like a good idea also.

No police escort required here.

How do you lag behind in a funeral procession, they drive ~30 mph! 😛

Oh, I know. I'm driving, with three other people in the car, and all of us adults are thinking the same thing. It's something to watch it happen right in front of you. Then, I just witnessed an accident. Do I stop?

I didn't and neither did anyone behind me in the procession. The driver that drove through got a ticket and the driver that got hit, well his car was totalled. Nobody got hurt.

:thumbsup:

These days it's like that's too much to ask.

no doubt. everyone let them thru and no one was upset and honking or anything. I was just crossing the street on foot. But at the same time, it was thru pretty busy philly city blocks at like 1:30 in the afternoon so it caused some problems.

Try being in the lead car .. ya, the long black one with the '50's Studebaker look to it. That, my friend, is having a 'problem'.
