卡車司機逃避罰單，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用一瓶紅色運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，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。”
