Don’t Cut Corners: Ask The Trooper

It is against the law to cut through the private property in order to avoid a traffic signal, according to Louisiana State Police Troop I spokesperson Brooks David. 

A caller to the program was concerned because some drivers are apparently driving through private parking lots at a high rate of speed.

"I've seen it quite often on Ambassador at Dulles," the caller said. "Sometimes they get a little careless, too."

Also discussed on Ask the Trooper:

• Why don't some drivers dim their lights for oncoming traffic?
• Do you need license to drive an all terrain vehicle?
• Does oncoming traffic need to stop for a school bus when the road is divided by a turning lane?
• What do I need to look out for before towing a trailer?
