卡車司機(jī)逃避罰單，用紅色飲料代替壞掉的尾燈

He wanted cops to see red.

他想讓警察看到紅色就能混過去。

A resourceful Colorado truck driver replaced his busted taillight with a bottle of red sports drink — and cops let him go without a ticket.

科羅拉多州一名足智多謀的卡車司機(jī)用一瓶紅色運(yùn)動飲料替換了壞掉的尾燈，警察沒有開罰單就放了他。

A Longmont police sergeant pulled over the man, a driver for an oil company in town every two weeks, while he was on his way to get the light fixed Monday night, ABC Denver reported.

據(jù)美國廣播公司丹佛報道，這名男子是一家石油公司的司機(jī)，每兩周開一次車。

A photo shared by Longmont police on Facebookshows a bottle filled with a red liquid and duct-taped to the back of the man’s truck.

朗蒙特警方在facebook上分享的一張照片顯示，這名男子的車尾用膠帶粘著一個裝滿紅色液體的瓶子。

Colorado law says all on-road vehicles must be equipped with a red light that can be seen from at least 100 feet away in daylight.

科羅拉多州法律規(guī)定，上路車輛必須配備紅色車燈，保證在白天至少100英尺外都能看到。

Obviously, a bottle of refreshing electrolytes doesn’t fit the bill.

顯然，一瓶鮮艷的電解質(zhì)飲料并不符合要求。

Cops let the man go without a ticket and, true to his word, they spotted him at a garage later Monday getting his taillight fixed.

警察沒有開罰單就放了他，果然，他們周一晚些時候在一個修車庫里發(fā)現(xiàn)了他，當(dāng)時他正在修理尾燈。

“While we appreciate the ingenuity of this tail light, this is not a permanent solution,” Longmont Fire, Police and OEM wrote in a Facebook post.

“雖然我們欣賞這種獨創(chuàng)的尾燈，但這并不是一個永久的解決方案。”龍蒙特消防公司、警察和原始設(shè)備制造商在Facebook的一篇文章中寫道。

“Working tail lights prevent accidents,” they said.

他們說：“正常使用的尾燈可以有效防止事故發(fā)生。”
