Sounds like some creative driving, even though I've been known on occasion to use a turnout to pass a turning or otherwise too slow vehicle. The thing that I don't get, though is that on university campuses, the Campus Money Making Department errrrrr..... Campus Police are usually more over zealous on parking enforcement than a small FL speed trap 301.

It's a good thing to consider that situations are not always as they appear, to the latecomer especially. I used to park so close to those assholes who take up 2 or more parking spaces until I exited to find my car, all by itself, looking like I was an asshole who takes up 2 or more parking spaces. Duh... I never thunk of that. I really see nothing wrong with Scott's manuever... except I guess he didn't get his permit and parked illegally or was using the campus parking lot as a shortcut. He hasn't explained his business that necessitated accessing a campus parking lot. ----- - gpsman |

A better way to put it is "to observe and collect," instead of "to serve and protect." |

Campus police? Being a fully accredited state law enforcement agency (as in badge totin' with guns on their hips), they were too busy writing parking tickets to worry about the trivial stuff like making sure that students got home safely! Escorting vulnerable young women was left up to an all-volunteer student club at my school. -- ~/Garth |"I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie.
