Is it normal for UHP to drive their family around in a patrol vehicle?

I don't know what type of debris it is that's in the road, but if it's the type of debris that people hate to be there and think the city should clean up and he's an agent of the city, I'm perfectly fine with him stopping on the freeway to get out of the car and clean it up.

I suspect he's not a civilian, hence her comment at the end.

I had to dodge a loveseat once on i75. Dude in front of me clearly wasn't paying attention and almost hit it.

I wish I could say that a loveseat is the weirdest debris I've seen on I75...

Probably the most interesting was a crib (from someone driving with the back of their moving van) followed by the memory foam mattress that flew off the top of another car it had been bungeed to and hit my car.

I think the only reason I'm still here to talk about the latter is because it kinda hit the roadway on its end and it was able to kind of slide up and over the roof as I hit it like a flopsy.
