#CarWeek #MontereyCounty Thanks to California Highway Patrol, who took a hit - quite likely preventing harm to someone else. "A Porsche was stopped after going 90 mph in a 55 mph zone. After the driver was pulled over, the Porsche backed into a CHP patrol vehicle, CHP alleges.” - Ricardo Tovar, #KSBW https://www.ksbw.com/article/porsche-four-times-over-legal-limit-backs-patrol-car/73438667 #SpeedLimits #SafeStreets #LawEnforcement #TrafficSafety #DrunkDriver #DUI #alcohol

@ascentale Thank you for letting us know, Phil, that Stan is the dad of one of your friends. We read the post by Chloe Behrens https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-stan-heal, and we second your statement: Wish this kind of thing were already designed out of our streets!
Stanley Behrens is not only a local #music legend, he’s also a former member of the band #WAR and a former member of #CannedHeat, among other illustrious music credentials. Some of y’all are too young to recognize those bands’ names. ;)
Stanley co-wrote this song with Willie Dixon, and that’s Stan doing lead vocals. Background vocals by Cash McCall, Zach Prather, and Stan. Billy Mitchel on piano, Welton Gite on bass, Cash McCall on guitar, and Stanley playing the saxophone .https://youtu.be/zsqBvglVK3w?si=E57AKEEYjmKVV2lZ

"There's no four-way stop. We're on the corner of the district office, and there's not a school #crosswalk here. There's three hills where people #speed down. We don't have #SpeedBumps. It's just, it's a dangerous intersection.” https://www.ksbw.com/article/pacific-grove-student-injured-scooter-crash/65608797
