I imagine that those shuttles have quite the horn on them, so, provided that there are not rules to prevent you from doing so, i would have simply pulled up my large craft behind them and blarred the horn, but at the same time, that might be similar to firing shots in the jungle without reason. Good story none the less.

OMG. What a story! We just took (were dragged on I should say lol) the BLT for the first time in ages a couple weeks ago and the first thing I said to my husband was "how the hell does anyone drive those things?"

Thanks for the great story, glad you weren't hurt!

Hey, since we're on the topic of destroying things; I didn't do it at DLR, but I did demolish a door at KBF when I used to work there. It's a long story, but in a nutshell, I was doing an arcade pickup, and the big arcade by Kingdom of the Dinosaurs, is big enough for us to drive our carts right in. Well, to keep it short, the push handle snagged on my oh-$shit handle (right there on the seat) took the door right off, shattered the glass. I wasn't fired for it, but I did get put on a 3 day suspension, had to take a pee and alcohol test, and ended up w/ a safety final.

Maybe that's why they won't let me drive an armored truck, huh? (I work for an armored transportation company, but I stay unarmed and indoors)

they trusted me with a fire-arm, i don't see why they couldn't trust anyone with one.

You'd be surprised...the only horn we really had was a little dinky one that we got to go "beep-beep" on when we started moving from a stopped position.

sad... my school bus (which i rode, not drove) had two horns, one that was normal, and an air horn which the driver wouldn't ever demonstrate for us.

they couldn't legally allow me to carry it; I just turned 21 a couple weeks ago, and I've worked for the company for almost 9 months now
